Hockey is the building's primary purpose, not the sole purpose. Lots of other diverse events will be held there.
As a tax payer do you regret spending tax dollars to build the Saddledome? What benefit did taxpayers outside of Calgary gain? The Saddledome was 100% publicly funded by all levels of government.
