Classic case of AHL affiliate in another team's backyard. Flames have seen this story before.
And with Colorado College being the main tenant, will that mean not many weekend dates or prime dates to choose from? That could be troubling as well.
Also, isn't the current arena there olympic sized? That would not be good for prospect development if they didn't rectify that. I'd think they probably will find a way to fix that.

CC building their own rink. Undoubtedly leading to a great lease for the new tenant at World Arena. The ice might be Olympic sized but that shouldn't be a tough fix if so.
It's true most COS NHL fans would likely be Avalanche fans. But COS is a big city, about 750K in the metro area. We'll see how that part goes.
