Brian Mulroney leads push to bring back Quebec Nordiques

http://sports.nationalpost.com/2014/...bec-nordiques/

Quebec City Mayor Regis Labeaume spoke of Mulroney’s involvement on Monday as he reacted to news that Peladeau, former head of Quebecor Inc., is running for the Parti Quebecois in the April 7 election.

Mulroney, who is vice-chairman of the Quebecor board, has been involved in the hockey file right from the beginning and he and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman share a mutual respect, Labeaume said.

“Commissioner Bettman and (ex-)prime minister Mulroney have spoken directly for quite some time, without intermediaries,” Labeaume said.

The mayor said the eventual decision on whether Quebec City will get an NHL team will depend not on politics but on the benefits it provides the league.
