That is the question being posed by the WFDS today.
Er, here is the question: What will the new Quebec City NHL team be called?
Coz they are getting closer to getting a team with what happened on Long Island yesterday. Len Berman reports that in Long Island
It wasn't close. Voters shouted a loud no. They don't want to fund an arena for a hockey team. They rejected the arguments about construction jobs, businesses in the area, and the arena being used for other events. Obviously this is not the economic time for a grandiose sports plan. Subscriber Bob P. said it best "When will taxpayers learn that these private entrepreneurs who ask residents to part with their hard-earned dollars and then charge outrageous prices for these same taxpayers to see their teams say, 'thanks, but no thanks'? Build the stadium, coliseum whatever yourself or hit the road." Blunt, but true. Taxpayers are saying the owner should build it privately. As sad as it seems for history sake, it doesn't sound like the Islanders are long for New York.
I prefer the Nordiques.
