Hansen is the guy in Seattle who is trying to bring the Sacramento Kings to the arena he wants to build and who also wants an NHL team. It's been in the news for like, a year or more now. I just didn't have his name on hand.

Markham is an interesting case because they're wanting to use public funds to build an arena for nothing concrete, but it seems pretty evident that there would be multiple investors for a second NHL team in the GTA, especially if they aren't saddled with arena costs.
