Bettman heads to Calgary but talks about new arena for Flames not on agenda
EDMONTON — NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is heading to Calgary on Friday but says anything to do with a new arena for the Flames franchise is not on the agenda.
He says he’ll meet with sponsors, some season ticket holders, and team officials.
But he says he won’t be wading into the issue of a new rink because the Flames have decided there’s no point.
“Obviously I’ll get an update from the Flames, but they are no longer pursuing a new arena in Calgary so there’s really nothing to talk about,” Bettman told reporters in Edmonton on Thursday.
