Quad City Flames?

[IL Rancher]

So.. I was out eating tonight with my folks and family and noticed on a news paper that Calgary is moving their minor leaque Hockey team (AHL?) from Omaha to the Qaud Cities (Moline/Rock Island, IL, Davenport, Bettendorf, IA).. Replacing the old Quad City Malards of the UHL... Wonder what the heck about this area is attracting minor league Hockey teams except the fact that we have one that plays at the United Center i Chicago
