That poster (jg13) seemed very sure though, and CP is usually pretty reliable and this person has been here since 2013.
It’s possible they were mistaken, and no worries if that’s the case
It’s also possible that Huberdeau doesn’t have a lot of incentive to bring this up as it may…..
1. Cause a weakened bargaining position with the Flames of extension talks have in fact started (doesn’t want to tip his hand that he already loves the city and spends a lot of time here)
2. Maybe huberdeau realizes that Calgary has a large hockey-crazed fan base and telling everyone that he spends a chunk of his summer here already might cause rabid fans to start digging into his personal life.
Might just be a case where it’s easier in a press availability to say “yeah I came once for stampede but am not too familiar with the city”
