I think the NHL would be counting on a local fan base. But they might be thinking the tourists would supplement what would likely be a base similar to Phoenix. Dunno.
For my part, if this gets off the ground, I'm trying to get to their first home opener, and I am definitely going to a Flames game there. So that's one or two times the hockey team would draw me down - where I wouldn't make any plan to otherwise - but unless they draw a couple hundred thousand such fans a year, could be interesting.
