My sense is that the league values the market, not the city. If we landed a team – correction, franchise – Copps would potentially be no more than a way station. There is always a strong likelihood of a suburban arena – Stoney Creek, Glanbrook, Ancaster, Dundas (Hockeyville), Flamborough, even Burlington. There are almost as many defunct Canadian teams as there are viable Canadian teams. The fact that they still drive regal profits for the remainder of the league only underlines the point. Moneyed clientele matter more than quixotic searches for antique jerseys and soft-focus sports history lessons. This is business, pure and simple.
