I guess its not Crazy and the league divisions are set up but would be nice to have a team up north.

I suspect location is entirely the reason. Travel in the WHL is all done by bus, and that would be the team with the most KMs to traverse by far. Can't imagine a lot of other teams would be happy driving that far north even for a pair of back to backs.
