Why can't the farm team be based out of Calgary just like the Marlies play in Toronto?
Isn't there a new hockey facility being built at Canada Olympic Park?
Couldn't they play at the Saddledome or the Corral?

The Calgary hockey market is already plenty saturated.
NHL Flames
WHL Hitmen
AJHL Canucks
AJHL Royals
CIS Dinos
ACAC Mount Royal
ACAC SAIT
AJHL Okotoks
etc etc etc
Each of these teams has their market, but the Calgary AJHL teams draw flies.
