No, they wouldn't have the supporting infrastructure needed, such as enough high-end hotel rooms, practice rinks, on-site dressing rooms, etc.

Ideally, all of those things would be in relatively close proximity to the arena to minimize the amount of travel within each city.


Even Winnipeg doesn't have enough hotel rooms of minimum quality to be one of the "hub" cities.
