There's plenty that I like about Calgary, but once you spend a few years - a few four full seasons - somewhere that has actual, honest-to-god, for real good weather, you cannot subjugate yourself to that crap ever again. There's no dread of the upcoming season. No threat of being cooped up indoors. Riding a motorcycle to work every day of the year isn't a badge of honour, it's a way of life. If I'm ever stuck on the Bow Trail hill in the snow for two hours again, just shoot me in the head.
With respect to the fear of losing your allegiance to your hockey team, that'll never happen. I wore a Canucks jersey proudly in Calgary for over 8 years. It's hanging in my office here. None of you would be any different.
