Winnipeg's ready to play, decision's been made
http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opi...121142339.html

The Conference Board of Canada is readying a Wednesday release titled Playing in the Big Leagues; Briefing 3, The Case of the Quebec Nordiques and Winnipeg Jets.

With great respect for the esteemed economists and deep thinkers at the Conference Board of Canada, here's a first impression one day early that isn't going to change.

In Winnipeg, the decision's already been made.

TNSE's principals have not gone down this road on a whim. They're not taking a flyer. They have a pretty strong opinion that their money-making arena, the MTS Centre, their strong ownership and partnership, and market conditions vastly improved since 1996's departure of the Winnipeg Jets to Phoenix put them in a position to be proactive.
