If NHL final ends by this weekend expect Flames to announce arena plans shortly after. Not waiting for mayor's election. Location still TBF.

Could be East Village or area on west Bow Trail. Box holders have been told they'll have first dibs on new locations. |
June 20/21, The City of Calgary Floods. If Dowbiggins sources were correct, the Flames organization obviously has to put any unveilings on the back burner during that disaster. Hopefully we all hear someting soon, I can't wait to hear what they have been scheming up for all this time.
