I keep on reading articles and hearing suggestions that the WHL wants another team on the Island and obviously Nanaimo would be the choice.
Just read Sam Cosentino's article on sportsnet.ca, he only gave us this tidbit":
Where do they plan on housing this team, they don't have a rink, Cliff McNabb arena only holds 2000 people, is that enough? Only Kootenay has a barn that small that I know of....Moose Jaw's is what 3000ish?
They would definitely need a new arena, will they approve and build one within the next 3-5 years? I'm not sure, but it would definitely be good for grass roots hockey on Vancouver Island. I'm hoping this repeated rumour comes true, hopefully not at the expense of another team though.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see a WHL team in Nanaimo within 3-5 years, if not sooner.
