Larger markets can get AHL or ECHL teams if Junior A is to small time for them. They would be getting a superior on ice product with professional hockey.

I also know this isn’t easy simple or even probably possible.
I don't know how it is in Alberta - but they'll just leave home to go play with the powerhouse teams at that level. Heck - they do this in minor hockey around here to go play in Toronto where the best teams are.
