So I wish them all the best. But absolutely I have my doubts that all these levels of hockey can survive and flourish in Winnipeg. Personally I wouldn't be surprised to see the Moose relocate down the road.
Moose aren't going anywhere, it would cost TNSE more money to run the team elsewhere.
I heard there was about a 1,000 people who put down a 50 dollar non-refundable deposit for season tickets.Apparently season ticket deposits "exceeded expectations"
I hate when they use vague terms.

Rink Hockey Academy is building a new arena for the WHL team but for now the team would be playing at the U of Ms arena temporarily.I wouldn't like that all these teams are playing in the same arena.
One of my favourite things about the OHL is watching games in smaller, unique looking arenas.
Bombers do quite well for attendance (even though they haven’t won a championship since 1990) Goldeyes (independent Basebsll) also does very well...BellMTS is consistently too in North America for businest arenas for Concerts...Any other cities outside of the Toronto/GTA have anything close to this. No official CHL team in Toronto the GTA, but about 4 teams within an hour drive (Hamilton, Mississauga, Guelph, and Oshawa and 2 more are about 75 to 90 minutes (Kitchener, Niagara, and Peterborough). I know Van at one point had the Canucks, Giants and a team in Abbotsford. Montreal has the Laval AHL team, and a couple QMJHL teams in reasonable driving distance.
Will be interesting to see how it works out. Not sure what the competition for discretionary entertainment money is like in Winnipeg.
