Steinbach is only about what, 15,000? That seems very small for a WHL city, definitely puts it at the lower end with Swift Current, although Steinbach is close enough to the city that it could draw a decent number of Winnipeg fans which is something that would be unlikely in Morden/Winkler.
Until I heard otherwise, I'd assume that if the Ice moved to Manitoba, that they'd be headed for Winnipeg. But I thought the WHL didn't want to move any more teams into Manitoba?
