Winnipeg Ice

[Boreal]

What's perhaps underrated with the location out on McGillivray west or whatever appropriate name should adorn said geographical place, is the proximity and access to places such as Headingley, Starbuck, Carman, LaSalle, etc. where there are hockey fans in abundance who may not be able or willing to get to downtown Winnipeg conveniently be it price, distance, comfort level or more. I think the location is brilliant. It will target the collection of individuals that they wish to appeal to, and while they obviously don't want to turn away any fans, I do believe it is fairly strategically placed. The lack of transit while disappointing to some, is probably not a much of a factor to their target audience. Like another poster said, a shuttle bus service of some sort would be a potential makeshift solution. This is a team for the burbs and young families in the region. Hockey enthusiasts will show up as they will, of course.
