NHL team in Markham???

[John Bacon]

There was mention on Q107 this morning that Markham may get an NHL team? I highly doubt the info but was wondering if anyone else had heard anything.

The plan is to add a 19000 seat arena next to the rediculously huge mall they are building....its gonna be 10xs bigger than pacific mall

There is not very many people in Markham. A few people and the rest of the houses are grow ops.

If you put a team in Markham.....then Would'nt Toronto want one then (Drumroll)

[BillM]

No need for another NHL team in Ontario.

[GBW]

the plan years ago was to move the leafs to Woodbine and 7 to make access to game easier but then came the ACC and Raptors.

The nickname "Buds" is already taken by the leafs...

[pikehunterjr]

They should bring a team to Quebec city and Winnipeg

[Roy]

It'd be a great rivalry between Markham and Toronto though. Markham would just be another team to blow them out of the water. Hey that's it, they could be the "Markham Leaf blowers"!

[bushart]

May make for a funny town sign though Roy---picture it

 

MARKHAM...home of the leaf blowers and weed eaters
