Slightly disagree. In my opinion, the Flames do put Calgary on the map. I have a friend in Austria who mainly knows Calgary because of the Flames.

I agree with you that without the Flames, Calgary will still thrive, but it would be a blow to Calgary's international standing. Would you know Jacksonville if not for the Jaguars?
