It would sell out, but the Flames would never step on the WHL’s toes, at least right now.
If the minimum wage lawsuit against the CHL craters its business model then I could see a AHL team move to a city like Saskatoon. But junior hockey would have to become more local as Major Junior, Junior A, & Junior B figure something out.
If hockey patrons in cities like Saskatoon, Regina, Brandon, Red Deer and a few others watched a Major Junior game one night & an AHL game the next, they would understand how much of an inferior entertainment product Junior Hockey is.
It’s literally watching men play hockey vs. watching boys play hockey.
