Reply #13: The team would not be in Windsor... [View All]

[SidDithers]

Windsor is very pro-Wings, but, like Detroit, it's been decimated by the collapse of the Auto industry. The Desert Dogs might go to Hamilton ('bout half way between Toronto and Buffalo) where Balsillie's wife is from, or Kitchener/Waterloo, where RIM is based. Hamilton already has an arena, that, with ~$100 million in renovations, would be an acceptable NHL site. In K/W, Balsillie could build a state of the art arena, and there's plenty of room for parking as an additional revenue stream.

The days of hockey in Phoenix, however, are over. I'd be surprised if there is a team there at the start of the 2011/2012 season.
