Will the Winnipeg Jets be resurrected?
NHL talking to billionaire David Thomson about Phoenix Coyotes sale The National Hockey League is working on a backup plan with Toronto billionaire David Thomson and Winnepeg-based True North Sports and Entertainment that could send the Phoenix Coyotes back to Canada if a deal with Ice Edge Holdings or Jerry Reinsdorf to keep the team in Arizona falls through. Two sources with knowledge of the Coyotes finances and ownership said a deal between Thomson and the NHL has been completed in principle and could have the Coyotes back in Winnipeg next season if necessary. Thomson, also considered a possible buyer of the Atlanta Thrashers, is a partner in True North and chairman of Thomson Reuters. True North owns the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League and MTS Centre in Winnipeg, which seats 15,100. The sources said, however, the NHL still wants to work out a deal to keep the Coyotes in the Phoenix market. The league bought the Coyotes, still in Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization, for $140 million in October fending off a $242 million bid by Research in Motion CEO Jim Balsillie, who wanted to move the team to Hamilton, Ontario. League officials said during bankruptcy proceedings last year that if a deal could not be finalized by June 2010 it would be open to a sale that would involve a move from the team’s home in Glendale.

Fine by me as long as they don't go to hamilton! We sell a shit ton of tix to Canadians coming over the border for reasonably priced NHL games and do not need any competition. Winnipeg is obviously a more suitable market for hockey anyways.

That would be interesting, especially since the Coyotes are having a surprisingly good year. Another Canadian based team would be great and could hardly hurt the sport since it's not like Phoenix is a bastion of ice hockey.
Would that be the first time a pro franchise has moved away then back to its original home?
