NHL may have future in Regina

"Hockey fans in Regina probably won't have to wait another 20 years to witness the return of the NHL.

Evraz Place officials have already held preliminary talks with NHL promoters about bringing another pre-season game to the Brandt Centre next year -- and perhaps more. Those discussions are a direct response to the sellout crowd that watched the Ottawa Senators beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-1 on Sept. 21.

"Given the success of the game itself I certainly think there is a good chance we'll get another game back here at least for next year and hopefully we can work something beyond that," offered Neil Donnelly, vice-president of events and entertainment for Evraz Place."

Smoke another one, guys...Bettman's NHL will not allow a team in Regina; even if they promise to sell-out Tralfaz...errrr...Evraz Place, every night, for the next twenty years. WHY? (You may ask...)

"Why, ice?" Because that's all CBC and TSN/RDS territory, and will do nothing to increase exposure in the good ol' U.S. of A. and because it can't be carried by that World Class Sporting Network, The Outdoor Life...errr, scratch that: Versus...

Sorry, Regina - Gary will kick sand in your mangina.

That would be fucking awesome. Big ups for Saskatchewan!

Are we talking about a permanent team in Regina? Yea right. Maybe in 10-20 years when the population doubles.

MLSE considers Saskatoon and Regina part of its territory and has indicated they will veto any vote to expand/relocate to that area. Besides, Bettman is much more impressed with the 6,500 fans who showed up in KC.
