Except NHL hockey would be here, because leaving is an empty threat. Because as soon as they leave, Calgary would immediately become the hottest available NHL market. Yes, ahead of the protest vote second southern Ontario team even.

NHL players pay a 25% tax rate and a lot of them reside outside of the market. So 22 players paying income tax. It's money, but not exactly a windfall.

This is a topic that has been studied over and over. The findings are not on the side of the owners claims. It's just not there guys.
