Abbotsford has paid off the Heat to leave, Glen falls, NY is a possible destination.
Here's hoping the Comets do not move to the Fraser Valley.

Heat Leaving Abby
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Paid $5.5 million to leave. What a disaster.

And a total of $12 million since 2009. I'm sure Abbotsford would like the Comets in that building, but I think they're tied to Utica for five years. Really not sure what Abbotsford is going to do, because I have my doubts about the area supporting another WHL team.

Re: Heat Leaving Abby
I think the bay Canucks would draw in Abbotsford. It would also be easier for the Canucks to scout the team. Travel would be longer and more costly. I think it would be a good move. Not sure what their contract status with Utica is and if they gave any out clauses.
The only HW the Canucks need

What a disaster.
The AHL is an east coast league. The closest team to Abbotsford is in Iowa for fuck sakes. The Comets would make sense in the Lower Mainland if there was any semblance of a western presence, which there isn't.

Keep the Canucks minor team in the east, the travel from abbotsford fucks with practice time. Kids need more time in ice and not in the air
