Governors Vote, Quebec Has Hockey Again
Return of the Nordiques confirmed by Bettman
In an exciting move, the National Hockey League's Board of Governors has voted 27-to-3 in favor of re-locating the Florida Panthers to Quebec City, where they will retain the classic Nordiques brand.
"We're very excited to re-install top-level hockey in Northern Quebec, it's a great market that we feel has good potential to become yet another one of our strong Canadian franchises," commented commissioner Bettman.
In another interesting move, the Board of Governors also voted to hold a dispersal draft of every Florida Panthers player.
"We aren't too happy about this, to say the least," said newly-unveiled Nordiques General Manager Joe Sakic. "We thought the Florida roster had good potential, and now we'll have to start from scratch with professional try out camps and open try outs and stuff. Very disappointing."
The Nordiques will be playing out of the newly-renovated Pepsi Coliseum, which upon completion will hold roughly 19000 spectators.
In an interesting twist, the Nordiques are looking to begin play in just under four months' time and have already released Pro TryOut Forms (see below).
"This city is excited, and we're excited too for this excellent challenge," declared GM Sakic. The head coach is expected to be named later this week.
The four proposed jersey combinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nordiques Roster:
Goalies - 2/4 - (Matt Steele 71 // Jonathan Roy 63)
Defensemen - 2/12 - (Sean Burke 70// Jacob DeJong 66)
Forwards - 3/24 - (Tyson Langkow 70 // Tyler Bennett 68 // Evgeni Osadchenko 51 )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This will be a Be-A-GM mode with the re-created Quebec Nordiques, using YOUR players! Monthly in-game updates, player tracking, stat tracking, should be pretty cool! I'm also going to be doing little off-ice stories on the players' interactions and stuff. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CREATE A PLAYER AND FOLLOW ALONG!
