does anyone believe the New York Islanders could be relocating, or even folding, sometime soon?
Their current contract with Nassau Coliseum expires in 2015.
Do you think it will pass in this economic climate?
That's the thing, isn't it? There's Quebec city, and possibly a second team in the Toronto area, though it's really questionable if that would actually work, and beyond that there's really nowhere else that I can see being able to support an NHL team. They consider Winnipeg almost too small a market for an NHL team, outside of Winnipeg every other metro area drops in population by like 250 000 at least. The only larger city without an NHL team is Quebec, for now. 32 million people spread out across 5000km :/
what level is Victoria's hockey team?
edit: it looks like Hamilton (714,900) has roughly the same pop. as Quebec (717,600)

Four divisions? Could work.
Predators new jerseys!
It's just the away jersey, but it looks fantastic. Can't wait to see them, and the homes, in action this coming season.
You don't need to follow the Islanders to know there is no extra monies for such a project. In my opinion, the team and it's owners should cough up the cost. There is no reason for the taxpayers to have to do it.
Why cant the fucking NHL just let go?!? Its NOT working there!
No idea, but it's well past time for the Coyotes to pack up and move. I think the Portland, OR area could be a good market.
