Flames should be embarrassed by this. A professional sports group worth billions of dollars and they continually throw bread crumbs at the Stamps to operate. Really happy to see the fruits of that come out publicly like this.

Not surprised one bit Team travel and treatment of families being abysmal grades. Terrible organization in terms of buying local sports teams to have control over the whole sports market. They killed the Hitmen, too. Before the Flames took over they were averaging like 6500-8k fans a game and it was a fun, junior sports night out.

Flames came along and decided to charge professional sports team prices for tickets and merch and destroyed the fan base to the point where there's a smattering of 2500 per game. I hate the Flames ownership group so much, they're embarrassing.

But hey, at least they bilked our citizens out of hundreds of millions of dollars so they can rake in even more profit with their new arena.

It’s not a great look but a bunch of teams in the west have crappy ratings. Across the board outside of a few teams family treatment and diet and nutrition did not score well.

Not sure how Edmonton scored an F. What are they feeding the players lol. Chris Jones Coach/GM/Chef

I couldn’t agree more with your post! The Flames ownership has been embarrassing and downright awful when it comes to all their other teams not named Flames. It’s been sad watching the demise of the Stamps unfold ever since they took over. How they can’t even provide some decent food or propert gym equipment is ridiculous. I hope these report cards spur some change.

It was interesting to see Hamilton and Ottawa score quite high. I figured Sask and Winnipeg would score well, but didn’t anticipate Hamilton getting such rave reviews!

Young is a good owner.

As was Hellard and his group. Believe they both came in around the same time.

Lions with some moves today, signing Mathieu Betts to some big money and also hiring Mike Benevides as DC.

Yeah, Farhan is wondering if Ryan Phillips will be retained on the Lions staff.

I'm hoping that the big money the Lions doled out for Betts means that they won't be able to sign Justin McInnis and he decides to join VA in Calgary.

Well, I don't see Jake beating out Trevor Harris for the starting QB job, but as we all know, Harris has trouble staying healthy which means Jake will be thrown into the fire at some point.
