6 Reasons why Calgary needs a PWHL team right now

Make sure you stick around to #6 because it's the best reason:

  1. Brunch jerseys and civic pride. Calgary cares more about hockey than the municipal election. It's a hockey-first market with built-in fan culture and strong attendance history.
  2. Hockey makes winter hotter. It's good for our society to celebrate our hockey heroes and a PWHL team fills winter entertainment demands with highly marketable live experiences.
  3. Elite women's hockey is perfect Blue Sky Energy attracting sponsors.
  4. Calgary's corporate community has a proven track record supporting sports partnerships and community branding.
  5. New guests. The city gains economic activity through tourism, game-day spending, media exposure and local partnerships.
  6. The people deserve it. It's 2026 and elite male hockey players get $775 000 - 13m annual salary and in 2026 we can do it for the people. We can do it for our future generations. We can do it.
