Why Not Canada? - Quebec City (July 9 2010)

TSN and The Globe and Mail investigated for a possible return for a NHL team in Canada. Here's the report for Quebec City.

Quebec City changed so much in the last 15 years. The situation has nothing in common with the last years of the Nordiques.

Also, this city is unique is North America. I bet many european players would like to play here. That's the closest you can get to Europe in North America.

@dpopie The only reason you and all other cities wants the Preds is because they are so consistant and now has won 40 plus games in the last 7 seasons. Only Nashville and Detroit has accompolished this. They are also the only NHL team to win 23 or more home games the last 8 seasons. Preds have very strong ownership, great gm, great coaches, great fans that fills the arena and a great on ice team. This team is not going anywhere.

I fucking hate organized sports. It's all about money, commerce, and keeping people in a state of stupidity by caring about a bunch of monkees chasing a piece of vulcanized rubber around a hockey rink. Fuck you to this propaganda bullshit. But I suppose that most of you don't think this way because you're so politically correct and you choose not to see the propaganda at work. Fuck you.

@dpopie If any team moves to Quebec, it will be the Phoenix Coyotes.

Winnipeg got their team back. Why not Quebec City? I've been to Qc City recently many times and sure does have a lot of potential. Private businesses are thriving as you see there are so many people in shopping malls and they are building houses further north in Lebourgneuf area. Currently, construction surpasses Montreal easily. They have the people. They have a lot of loyal hockey fans. You do see Nordiques everywhere. They just don't have a up-to-date arena and a team.

Seeing this video makes me realize that Quebec City has such a tremedous potential (and will eventually happen in the next few years) for a new Nordiques team. Still waiting for the NHL to approve. Move the Predators!!!

Hamilton was inline to be franchised from a AHL team to NHL

but it seems as of all the Media is going it's back to Manitoba, Winnipeg

To me as for a market Hamilton would be a better spot

[Pacmanknapp24]

As for Quebec also would be wonderful but until the Arena is made, i don't see it happening as of now

Also question for Hartford still playing at Hartford Civic center hence XLT center

Same place, just vamped up not going to Thrive the hippo-critical NHL board to lure em to come back

I am just a sports fanatic giving facts

[Pacmanknapp24]

From what everyone is saying if Atlanta would go back to Winnipeg

situation is having a team going into a town which does have capital, but you add having MTS arena which in NHL standards would be the smallest in the NHL

capacity is only 15 thousand, also Media the team it's self would have to be like Buffalo, and Nashville conserve money, also on players

people can be negative on my commetns idc

I am glad if this happens let them move back but question is will it last

Coyotes to Winnipeg and Thrashers to Quebec City. That would be the best situation. That would get rid of two of the most failing franchises.
