Even Calgary, being five times the size of Regina, isn't that ambitious. We're talking about a population that loves sports and loves their teams. Who knows, really, I guess.
Sorry but I bet it would never happen, if Regina bought an AHL team that would be the end of their WHL team. The Pat's would be sold and relocated to another city.

As for the Rider's that is totally different they have a whole province to support them.
