Not every situation is perfect, but I do subscribe to the 'If you build it, they will come' philosophy. Calgary's not getting an MLS team or any other major international event unless a new stadium comes, that's a given.
Millions was on the Fan yesterday (I think yesterday) and he said there is a group starting the wheels in motion for a winter Olympics bid for 2022 on the super down low.

New rink would probably be part of that announcement I would imagine.
