And articles like that will also help Calgary become "world class"
One of the things IMO that helps show that Calgary is indeed "world class" or at least very close to it is the Flames alumni association. I was chatting with Rene Corbet a couple weeks ago and he was saying the alumni association has 120 some former NHL players involved in it, a number of whom never even played for the Flames but they came to Calgary after their careers because of how great of a city it is. These are guys that could live anywhere they wanted including a number of cities that are without question world class and they still choose Calgary.
