Some AHL-related news: Hearing Colorado Springs is in the process of securing an AHL franchise via relocation of a current club. It’s possible they could play out of the Broadmoor World Arena, which holds 7,750 for hockey. Timeline unclear, but could happen for Fall 2021 or 2022.

This ties back to our report from October re: #Flames looking at the Springs. From what we've heard, CGY ownership pushing in this direction, with a short term bridge deal in Stockton. Good timing too, as Colorado College (current arena tennant) broke ground Sat on new building.

As @mayorNHL reports, I’ve also heard the expected club is the Calgary Flames’ affiliate that could move from Stockton to Col Springs. Deal isn’t done, but told it’s getting there.
