Hey now: Red Deer gets some games. So they kept their promise.
I'm not a big fan of the recent trend of NHL city + smaller city as hosts given that the smaller city usually only ever gets the less desirable teams/games. Junior hockey is the bread and butter of some of these smaller communities and it's a shame they don't ever get to play host to some of Canada's games. But it's a money decision, so what can you do.
