The Blues owner got the Rivermen in the purchase of the Blues, reports indicate it is nothing more than a cost cutting move.

Feel bad for you PMM... looks like the move is becoming more likely.

The Heat are in a bad situation in Abbotsford and not just because they are in Abbotsford. There are people that are avoiding the arena at all costs as a large portion of the population didn't want it and it barely passed and from what I understand it and the Heat contract were the biggest issues that cost the mayor at the time his job. For the disdain that building gets I am not sure any team will have great attendance there.
