King Heffy Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Feel bad for Saskatoon. An AHL team holding its training camp there would provide better quality hockey than the flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Great opportunity for Saskatoon to prove it can sustain an NHL team, even short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Imagine if the crowds were so good in Saskatoon the team didn't want to leave. (Never happen but I'd love to see Saskatchewan with an NHL team) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saskatchewan Canucks Fan Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Would be great to see how the province would react and specifically how fast the tickets would be able to sell out on a bigger scale than one or two exhibition games. The province shows phenomenal support and loyalty with people coming from all over the province to see the Riders in Regina. But the harsh winters and heavy snowfall has to be considered when thinking about bringing a NHL team to the province. Its easy for the widely spread population to make the drive in the summer, but the winter would make it much more challenging. This includes the low number of company headquarters that are located in Saskatoon. However, with all these things considered I still believe that Saskatchewan would be able to fully support an NHL team for years to come. But there is many other Canadian locations that should be getting consideration for a full time NHL club before Saskatoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:D Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Enmax Centre in Lethbridge only seats 5500. Enmax Centrium seats 6700 in Red Deer. Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon seats 15190 people. That's probably more than at Key Arena in Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losing With Pride Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'm actually okay with this... Saskatoon has the fastest growing economy in Canada. Things are definitely booming here. Hurray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
