Flames president Brian Burke says Calgary behind the times on arenas, stadiums
CALGARY — Flames president of hockey operations Brian Burke says taxpayers in other Canadian cities recognize the need for new arenas and stadiums, so why not in Calgary?
The long-time NHL executive addressed the Canadian Club of Calgary on Wednesday with his trademark salt and spice.
Burke refused requests for media interviews, but he was grilled by club members on various topics in a question-and-answer session after a speech.
A new arena for the Flames dominated the discussion.
