Playing at Winsport is trying to be a little bit pregnant. Either you leverage the existing production systems and supply chains you have in place for Flames/Roughnecks/Hitmen games or let them completely be their own thing in a completely different community.
I feel bad for places like Saskatoon & Regina in Canada. They are both large enough centers to support professional hockey but have been conditioned to think the WHL is satisfactory.
They pay professional hockey tickets prices to watch children play.

I have no knowledge of Canadian geography or the economic situation of those cities, but if they're such lucrative, untapped markets, what are administrators waiting for?
