I mean, we used to have the Montreal farm team.. so I don't think it's a stretch to get Toronto's which is kind of competing with itself. Mind you I don't know hockey or hockey demand whatsoever, but I do think Hamilton would be a good market for a Toronto farm team. It could attract people into Hamilton and attract Hamilton locals. With Burlington apparently building a small 5000 person arena, they could have smaller events, and sportsball, and Hamilton could have the medium sized stuff.
