Hockey fans in Alberta, I'm working on a video project and have two simple questions:
-What Alberta city/town do you reside in?
-Do you primarily cheer for the Flames or the Oilers?

(Yes, I'm building a fandom map.)

Pals, I am researching for some stuff on the site later in the summer, but I am curious: what do you feel are Saddledome must-dos for fans before the building closes up in 2027?

New on my YouTube feed, I get into Aydar Suniev's signing: why he's exciting, why the Flames wanted to sign him now, and what his development could tell us about the Conroy Era in Calgary.

New on my YouTube channel: the #Flames were expected to be pretty bad this year... but they're not. How is a team that many expected to be a cellar-dweller flirting with a playoff spot through 40 games?
