Women’s NHL - assuming that it happens AND that they would play in the event centre, and not somewhere like winsport.

Women's National Hockey League. I am not sure if that's what it will be called, but a partnership with the NHL seems to be the direction things are going.

All the same the point is that in the next 35 years, all kinds of things could be happening that no one expects, for all we know, this centre could be used as an E sports arena. To say that it is just for the Flames is being wilfully ignorant.

Looks like Chahal is voting no

Ryan Pike @RyanNPike
FYI: spoke with George Chahal during the break. He's leaning voting no, as the value of the land the #Flames can purchase isn't appropriately addressed. #yyccc #yycarena

That's ridiculous. The City and the Stampede want the arena there. The City owns the current arena and the Stampede owns where the City wants the arena. Seems like a no-brainer.



The Flames can purchase land in New Mexico and move the team there if they want. FFS.

Woolley is also hammering in on the Flames options to buy land. Calls it a bullying tactic to have the deal rushed.

Says he is for the arena but is trying to do his job.

[powderjunkie]

I hope we can get a transcript of Woolley's comments - I think I caught it in the middle, but it was far from grandstanding.


It would also be fun to get a transcript of Chu's bumbling comments right now, because

Sutherland basically saying that because some public feedback is poor/silly that he shouldn't bother listening to any of it.

[FLAMESRULE]

FFS...just vote. Good lord. The old adage of "seeing how sausage is made" is sooo damn true here.

[TheScorpion]

This is getting tiresome.

[OmegaV4]

He's confusing me so much. Didn't he say previously that he was voting no, or was he quoting someone?

[midniteowl]

After listening these, I'm glad I don't have to sit in city council meetings.

He was mocking Woolley, who said he was for the arena but voting no.

[Robbob]

Silly me, I thought this would be wrapping up after my meeting. I think this will still be going on through my commute home.
