It looks more and more like Winnipeg will once again be host to NHL hockey.

I do have to wonder why nobody has thought of moving a team to Kansas City. St.Louis has proved that hockey works in an area with a similar population base and demographics.

The city recently built the Sprint Center as a state of the art arena and has been begging one of the major sports leagues to go there as a major tenant for the arena. I remember hearing in the past that they were offering a sweetheart of a leasing deal for any team that would be willing to move there to play.
