I may be in the minority, but I would support the Heat over the Hitmen, due to the Flames connection. There must be some like myself, who dont necessarily cheer for the Hitmen, leading to not attending the games.
Although it would be interesting to see how the city would support two pro hockey teams, as it has never been tested here before.
If the dome is not available, then play the Heat out of Winsport or the Grey Eagle.

Winnipeg and Toronto don’t also own a CHL franchise.
I would love for the Heat to play here. People don’t realize how inferior the CHL is compared to the AHL until you watch a few games.
It’s an order of magnitude higher quality of product, which makes sense. Not every player in the CHL is good enough to make the AHL. The AHL is also fully developed men, not boys.
I think more people here would go out to watch a Heat game vs. a Hitmen game, because the quality is better.
But how much more? The Flames pay Hitmen players essentially nothing. How much would Heat games take away from Hitmen games? Is it worth it? Maybe with Vancouver now near by this changes the equation. I hope so.
