It has been discussed and I would say it would be extremely doubtful.
There is already NHL, WHL, AJHL, College and CIS hockey. Add in the Roughnecks and Stamps and the hockey/sports market is pretty full and meets the needs of about every segment of the community.
AHL games were poorly attended as one offs and even on this site the Heat get a passing interest from a vast majority of fans.
Also hard to see much advantage/use corporate people would get from supporting the Heat.
