Based on the attendance at both Flames and Hitmen games, I would think so. Our WHL team draws around 8,000 a night. Certain promo nights (Teddy Bear Toss, Fan Appreciation Night) they have sold out the Dome.
Edit: I think the fact we also have a ton of Oil and Gas money and corporate head offices, there is a ton of money to throw around to support hockey teams.
