Massive media market

Can people also give up on Quebec? Why in gods green earth would the NHL want to go there?? It adds literally zero to the league in terms of growth. Sure, fill some seats for a few years in a small Canadian market.. I guess but that doesn't matter in 2024 and beyond.

SLC
Kansas City
Atlanta
Milwuakee

are all well ahead of Quebec City
You are absolutely correct, and, without trying to be too cynical, Georgia and Atlanta in particular are growing at a huge rate.

Once they started offering HUGE tax breaks and incentives for filming they effectively became 'Hollywood East.'

If they pursue that same strategy here? With that popularity, with that population and with that business foundation that moved to Georgia for those tax breaks?

It could be a gigantic market.
