Rockford seems like a city that's not quite as nice as Stockton. Similar crime rates but nearly half the population. The Blackhawks have won two Stanley Cups since moving their AHL team to Rockford. Maybe the Flames are hoping to duplicate that success.

I think people forget that much of the crime levels in any city are in poverty stricken areas, our prospects aren't going to be living in the low income areas of the city. They might not be in the rich areas, but they will be in middle class to upper middle class areas and likely have little to actually worry about.
