I don't think any of those communities has an arena that would be pro-calibre.
Winsport already has pro-level training and dressing room facilities and a reasonable capacity. I believe it's also broadcast-ready and has hosted events that have been covered by Sportsnet and TSN.
At this point, I think it's the only real viable alternative to the Saddledome.
