Canadian teams are a detriment to getting broadcast rights, not a benefit, and when the vast majority of teams are US based, Calgary is measured accordingly.

I think you were interpreting the way you did to be overly confrontational as it’s obviously not as economically powerful as the top three. That should be apparent
But I would say it’s a bit different in terms of hockey. As someone else mentioned, Calgary might not be too ten it’s certainly not bottom ten. The city itself is more economical than winnipeg ottawa and Quebec City. Broadcast revenue does mean a lot and the Canadian tv rights are huge
And as much as Detroit gets #### on for its collapse it’s metro gdp is similar to Phoenix. Both are big four sports cities.
