As I understand it, having a President of Hockey Operations and separating that from Arena operations I believe is the main difference. And i think this is perceived as good is because it allows for more focus within the different profit centres.

It is definitely more expensive to have a mgmt structure like this since you simply need more people, but the outcome would theoretically be higher revenue.

EDIT: What I am not sure is how they split up the revenues of the two different portions. I'm not sure for example what would be considered revenue of the arena and revenue of the team with something like ticket sales.

The Flames might sell tickets at a Wholesale price to the arena, then the arena marks up to the general public.

I'd be interested in knowing the structure as well, so if someone has more insight it would be much appreciated
