More likely the Wranglers and Hitmen would use it. The Wranglers will likely move their base of operations out of Winsport.

I feel like the Flames and opposing teams that come into town use Winsport more than occasionally for practice. Now they will likely just use the “community” arena. But if there is not something else going on in the NHL rink (like transferring it back from a concert venue to an ice surface) I would agree the NHL rink will likely be used for practice. So not much would change for the Flames usage except on the margins.
Suspect the community rink is off limits during training camp for the Flames/Wranglers/Hitmen so that would basically eliminate public use in September and early October.
