It has been more than four months since the notion of building a new National Hockey League arena in Calgary has been discussed publicly by any of the stakeholders.

However, such silence should not be confused for inactivity or apathy.

Nor is it a product of boardroom battling.

In fact, by all accounts, significant progress is being made in terms of the relationship between the city and the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corp. (CSEC), both of which are gaining a better understanding of the merits and the drawbacks of the two possible sites for a new building.

City officials are now simply buckling down, doing their due diligence for a report comparing the two possibilities.

As they should.

The report, which was originally slated to be unveiled by Halloween, is so extensive the city recently announced it has deferred its unveiling until the new year.
