Premier Danielle Smith warned about the potential relocation of the Calgary Flames on her Saturday radio show on QR Calgary.
When asked about why the province is supporting a new arena for the billionaire owners of the local NHL hockey team instead of a new hospital, the premier said it’s not an either-or situation. She also noted the efforts Quebec is going through to find a team for the provincially-funded Videotron Centre which has so far sat without an NHL tenant since opening in 2015.
“I do not want to see the Quebec Flames, I can tell you that much,” she said during her radio show. “So we’ve got to make sure that we do what we can to keep that team here.”
Smith said Quebec Premier Francois Legault told her at a recent meeting of first ministers that he is very keen to get a team back in Quebec City.
She did not say if there had been a threat by the team to re-locate or if she was purely looking back at historical precedents.
