Brad Treliving was a big part of the former WPHL dba CHL's parent Global Entertainment Corporation and their subsidy International Coliseums Company.

They used WPHL/CHL franchises to pitch arena's in cities through the USA. Over promising and leaving a handful of cities with millions in debt and arena's incapable of producing the revenue needed to sustain their bonds.
Brad is a proven asset when left to the hockey business. I'm just not sure I'd put too much weight behind him if he is supposed to be the champion of a public/private partnership on a new arena.
