There are definitely some Heat fans in Abbotsford now, and I don't think they were necessarily Calgary Flames fans to begin with, so they are either attracting new fans to hockey, or some Vancouver Canuck fans are accepting the Heat as a team to follow and cheer for.

So Horak should be helping since he was a Chiliwack Bruin? Alot of people in the area are Canuck fans and not hockey fans.
