I've stated all along and again - you guys are looking for a solution where there's no problem.
You've got 140 bookings between the Flames/Roughnecks/Hitmen/Heat. That's easy and it makes the most sense for all to be at the Saddledome. Like getback said, the biggest issue in all of this will be the teams fighting for weekend games at the Dome and that will be solved by pecking order. |
A lot of weekend Flames games have to start late anyway (like 8PM+) because the stupid priority of eastern games getting televised first on HNIC.
We could easily fit the Heat in for afternoon games?

You guys do realize that the Flames don't play at home every Saturday and Sunday of the season right?
There's going to be no juggling and certainly no need to move one of the teams to Tsu'tina. I counted only 13 Saturday home games and 1 Sunday home game this past season. There's plenty of available time for another team.

Probably. Coachella will replace them in the Pacific.
I'd guess a new division of:
Abbotsford
Calgary
Loveland
Winnipeg
Austin

If you look at the Saddledome's pre-COVID schedule, from September 29, 2018 (Hitmen home opener) - April 20, 2019 (final Roughneck game), there were 30 weekends.
Only 5 Saturdays in that span had no scheduled events at the Saddledome. In that same time span, there were 6 open Fridays and 13 open Sundays.
In that same season, the Heat played at home on 10 Fridays, 13 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays.

As I joked in the first thread on this news (not sure why there's a 2nd suddenly):
I think the funniest and therefore best option is obvious...
The Calgary Heatmen.

Edmonton is certainly desperate to have a professional hockey team that knows how to win.

I see Austin giving that a big no. I don't know how they're going to do it, the league isn't set up that well geographically.

I'd like to keep it simple and just call them the Alberta Flames. Never liked the word Heat attached to a team. Very X-treme.

Not sure the timeline, but the proposed NW arena with the new McMahon/Foothills park redevelopment might be a final landing spot for the Hitmen.
