So you're telling me that Chicago is full of Canucks fans? Hershey, PA was a Caps stronghold before the affiliation changed? Tons of Avs fans in Cleveland? And, of course that long running Houston-Minnesota connection.
The presence of fans of the parent team has little, if anything, to do with the success of the AHL team in drawing fans. IF that were the case the majority of AHL markets would fail.
