Didn't the Roadrunners have one of the best attendance records in the league? Obviously that was helped by the fact there was also no NHL season that year either.
However I agree that the Heat could not make it long term in Calgary; and I would base that upon the attendance figures when the Heat would play 1 game here. If they cannot get 5000 fans for the one game where we would all want to go see them play, I doubt they could get regular attendance to fill out a season.
