Dear Hockey Fans,
I hope you are enjoying the holiday long weekend. I wanted to take a
moment of your time as a passionate hockey fan to let you know about
the latest developments in our bid to bring a seventh NHL franchise to
Canada.
Last week, the NHL filed a motion with the bankruptcy court in Phoenix
which argued, in part, that scheduling issues made it impossible to
fulfill the main condition of my offer to buy the Phoenix Coyotes,
that is to bring the team to Hamilton and to begin NHL-scheduled play
this fall.
I say to all Canadians, but in particular to the many Hamilton and
Southern Ontario supporters of our bid: my commitment to bringing an
NHL team to Hamilton remains. It's my firm commitment to Hamilton
hockey fans. It's the best un-served hockey market in the world and it
deserves an NHL team.
If bringing an NHL team to Hamilton means needing to remove a
scheduling impediment to my bid to purchase the Coyotes franchise, I
am willing to do what is necessary to assist the NHL in order to get
us to our ultimate goal. That is why I have indicated to the
bankruptcy court, in reply to the NHL's argument, that if beginning
NHL play in Hamilton this fall truly creates a scheduling impediment,
I am willing to remove that impediment and leave the team in Phoenix
for one additional season.
I know you share with me our end goal here - to bring a seventh NHL
franchise to Canada, and specifically to Copps Coliseum in Hamilton. I
appreciate that support. We're focused on making that happen, and
making it seven. So stay tuned and I will keep you up to date with the
latest developments.
Again, thank you for taking the time to sign up to MakeItSeven.ca.
Please contact all of your friends and family and ask them to sign up
with you. Together we can make it happen.
Jim
