McBackup Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Probably the same guys who made Vancouvers farm club succeed in Chicago and Montreals farm club succeed in Hamilton. The problem is people here aren't hockey fans, they are Canuck fans; they support the brand not the game. People in Abbotsford don't support anything unless it involves religion. Concerts and other entertainment venues in town don't succeed either so there's much more to the problem than the Flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I like Abbotsford Aviators alot more than Abbotsford Millionaires. And it makes more sense too. I just hope we can get the franchise as I live very close by, a friend had Heat season tickets a few years back and would be interested in buying them again if it becomes our affiliate. Then I could go all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Doctor Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 100 percent Abby will be Canucks AHL team. They will have total control unlike in Chicago. Abby then can stop losing money. Win for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'd be happy with them getting a decent regional TV deal, though I too would make the drive quite a few times a year. The Heat would also need a rebranding.... any suggestions out there for a new name for the Abby AHL affiliate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
