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.
Lots of people in Abbotsford like having the AESC but avoid the Heat games because the Heat are Calgary's farm team and the majority of people around here support the Canucks. I can't bring myself to cheer for the baby Flames but if it was a Canucks' affiliate here, I would definitely go to lots of games. Most people I know feel the same way.
