True North owns both the Canada Life Centre & the Jets. The economy in Winnepeg which is why the Jets attendance is down. True north just put $13M in improvements into the arena and srunk the size of the seating bowl from 15,321 to 15,225 by adding a high revenue club option in the end the jets shoot twice. They aren't going anywhere.
The Flames do have an deal in place with the ownership, city of Calgary and Alberta government. They reach a deal last year that would cost over $1billion to built the event centre. They have a place near the Saddledome. They are planning to removed an old tree that sites in the place where the building is going to be. They haven't have a design. They should be putting a shovel in the ground sometime this summer or fall. It will take 3 to 4 years to built , they should be playing there in 2027/28 season.
If Buffalo moves, that's an if, Hamilton, ONT should be the consideration. Its not far from the existing market. It would also be essentially a Toronto 2.0 franchise (where there is also a demand), and also draw fans from the Niagara Peninsula, and Kitchener-Waterloo. Hamilton may be a bit better than Buffalo as a market.
We're just talking to talk. No way does Buffalo relocate. How about teams just improve themselves! Put a better product in the ice and fans will go. Arizona is as unique situation. San Jose will be fine. Where was this talk when Thorton was there?? Oh wait, it wasn't because they were winning. Buffalo is top 5 in television viewership annually, which we all know is where the money is made. Put a better team in the ice and the building is filled. As a Sabres season ticket holder for 20 years nobody is asking for a new building… just win!! Can we stay making videos with actual sense? Jesus Christ!
Ducks will remain in Anaheim for another 25 years as their new lease was renewed. Also the O.C Vibe is under construction as we speak as the Anaheim Ducks owners have already made the funds to upgrade the surrounding areas. The city of Anaheim has approved the project as they are also funding support of 4 billion.
I’m starting to question wether any of these teams need new arenas because I go to the Florida panthers arena all the time and it seems like like a perfectly fine up to date arena. No way they do anything for the next ten years at least.
It’s actually sickening you would add buffalo on this. They are one of the NHL best markets when they are actually decent. Only reason why they don’t have a good attendance is because of the 13 year playoff drought. Also, the are the best NHL national TV audience. This is actually sickening
The problem with Winnipeg Jets is not the fact that they are selling at 90% capacity. It is due to the fact they attract very little in terms of coporate sponsorship. Simply because there are not that many major corporations based out of Winnipeg.
I doubt they'll be anymore relocations half those teams i'd say are safe be insane if buffalo moves ppl love that team they'll lose their minds. Calgary def needs a new arena the saddledome is old as hell i'll agree on that . as I said I saw the honda center in person on a trip to socal a few years back when I stayed in Anaheim its pretty nice its not falling apart they have a train station right nearby. Arizona's situation was bad getting thrown out of a arena they tried all they could to stay but time was running out and now they are utah bound.

Jets aren't gonna move. Bettman should've told Chipman to give him the Ronson cans You don't know shit. Drink tequila backwards.

Damn that Ottawa arena looks pretty cool with that building on top of it!

Move one of these teams to Sac and we will sell it out no problem
Calgary started the Construction on the new Arena
I think the only renovation Amerant Bank Arena (Panthers) needs is a new coat of paint on the roof.
OHHHHH SHUTTTTT UPPPPPPP
Google images boy
None of these teams have expressed relocation ever
The sharks and sabres aren’t relocating just stop please

Columbus has a mls team and the won mls cup wtf do this guy be talking about
Any other country would gladly accept these arenas.
90% capacity isn't great, WTF? Can't expect fans to make every hockey game with all that snow they get, not to mention all that cold.
What is wrong with the honda center its great come on ginger get a grip anybody agree
