- Calgary Foothills is affiliated with the group (which makes sense as guys like Tommy Wheeldon have been talking about this league more publicly lately).
- They will originally play out of McMahon, but the long term vision will have them play elsewhere.

Considering the mess CSEC is making with a new arena and the great foundations that Foothills have been laying, the first two bits make the last much easier to swallow.
