Retro Uprising - View Single Post - NHL going back to Winnipeg and Quebec City?

I'm happy for the jets.

As for Quebec, I no longer think they deserve a team since they would expect Canada to pay for them to build a rink and they wouldn't do it themselves. Winnipeg payed for their own rink, so did Vancouver, Calgary Edmonton and probably just about every other team in the league. Edmonton is funding their own money currently to build a new rink again. I know that because I was there when it was confirmed. Anyway, if Quebec wants a team back, hopefully they'll fund themselves :-/

Kind of curious about something though. Anyone I've talked to in New York and California don't care about hockey... Sow why does New York house 4 teams and why does California house 4 teams as well? Doesn't add up. I've got to say it would probably be nice to live there being that games are probably pretty cheap. I'm not doubting the fans there, I'm sure they have them, but it's probably only a select few. Not sure about the fans in either city, that's why I'm curious, maybe I'm wrong? I doubt California more than New York personally.

Edit: My bad, New Jersey is right outside new york. Still 4 teams in that area begs the same question for me.
