If Calgary hosts all the events, the Saddledome would still have to be used for figure skating. So even if this was a shared bid, and hockey games would occur in Edmonton, the Saddledome would still be used. Even if the IOC didn't like the quality of the venue.

Edmonton will get Curling and Short Track. Host 'City' would never give up hockey and figure skating.
