I've been reading a lot of the AHL Flames social media today and, understandably, a ton of fans are pissed about this announcement. This is two teams in two years that they have lost. Many saying they will not be attending anymore Flames games this season and feel that the NHL Flames betrayed them by moving a team here with no intentions of it lasting past a season.
I really hope that the fan support in Glen Falls doesn't completely fall off the radar because of a business decision. I can understand where some of them are coming from, but the guys playing on the ice are playing for that jersey right now. They don't control where they play and the business behind it. Would be terrible to see the prospects having to play in a toxic environment because of the announcement. We just got them out of Abbotsford and it seems like now they might be going right back into it to finish this year.
