kinda ironic coming from a fan who's city commonly riots after a loss..

We riot when we win, something you havent had a chance to do in 50 years

Let me guess youre offended by Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer too, arent you?

If they do decide to put another team in Ontario-i-o they should consider Barrie, or between Barrie and Newmarket.

Everyone from North of Barrie would make the trip (Nord Baie, Suds etc). If it's another team down south its super annoying travelling down there, especially in the winter. Theres enough people and infrastructure in that area for it to be a success

I honestly think Hamilton is the optimum spot for a club in Ontario. You've got the Niagara region, the nearby Tri-Cities, and GTA to dip into.

Hamilton is starving for a team, has NHL history, and I can see quite a few Leaf fans in this area switch their allegiance if they were ever able to land an NHL hockey club.

Yeah, but im biased and Southern Ontario has enough stuff..

Barrie is still too south, but probably the northern most city in ON that could support a team.

I honestly have no idea what you're referring to.

If i'm offended by anything its people who are incredibly stupid and insecure so they like to label others as something that they are told to be scared of.

I'm guessing the fear doctrine this year is Frosty the Snowman. No idea why, but it's not my place to figure it out.

Quebec will have to wait until a team relocates. 650 mil American is 1 billion Canadian?
- gergeswillems


Yep! Sad. Quebec is a far bigger hockey city than Seattle, but the leagues owners only that 650mil windfall!

Quebec city isn't very big, nor does it have a surrounding rural population.

Relocators - for when they need to relocate in five years because their pseudo-fans do not show up to the games.

Yes.

Seattle has 3.5M people. QC has less than 1M. Seattle should have gotten a team before Vegas, Dallas, Arizona, Anaheim, San Jose, Carolina, TB, Florida, Nashville, and Columbus.

Portland should be next.

lol..

these niche markets usualy do fine.. Nashville works, Vegas is a hit..

Basketball will completely overshadow hockey so the hockey team better have early success.
