I am not sure what that statement on putting profits back into team, rink, etc is based on. The flames have various commitments as the manager of the dome, and they raise a ton of money outside of profits (like 50/50, etc) for charities through the Flames Foundation.
I am hoping there are numbers somewhere that you are seeing and I am not. I can find numbers on how much the Flames Foundation has donated to charity since they arrived - around $32M.
The Forbes estimate of operating income may be the closest any of us will get to understanding how much money the Flames make. Even it is likely off in many cases as actual profits would never be released by a private company...
