Winnipeg Jets Landing Sparks Hope For Return Of Nordiques In Quebec City
http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2011/05..._n_869322.html

Pierre Karl Peladeau, the media mogul who hopes to bring back the Quebec Nordiques, says he's happy for Manitobans.

But the Quebecor media mogul remained tight-lipped about whether Tuesday's announcement might help pave the way to Quebec also getting its team back.

"Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make any comments about what they're expecting to do with the league," Peladeau told a news conference Tuesday, where he unveiled a new French-language sports TV network.

Peladeau has a financial agreement with the municipality to become the manager of the eventual arena, and he is expected to be a main contender in any bid to lure a team from the U.S.
