So overall, it seems like it could work on paper, but the reality is when you combine the logistical issues of a city with one aging hockey arena suitable for junior/pro teams, with the fact that you'd be putting a junior team and a minor league affiliate against eachother for a small portion of city residents that will pay money to see non NHL hockey, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

Which is why I said theoretically, since I wasn't speaking from an economic feasibility standpoint. Just that if the Flames wanted to operate three hockey teams, while doing concerts, they can do that if they wanted too. Technically it already occurs since the Flames, Hitman, AND Roughnecks are active tenants.
