While a permanent NHL franchise in Saskatoon might not make sense, it\u0027s time to revisit the idea of playing a few games a year in the city.
That uncertainty makes this the perfect time to reconsider the NHL in Saskatoon, four decades after the league crushed the hearts of the city’s hockey fans.
Then again, conventional economic wisdom might offer some skepticism about the nearly three decades the NHL has now spent in Arizona, losing millions trying to make the relocated Winnipeg Jets work there. The Coyotes are now playing in a 4,600-seat arena built for college hockey, the team’s third venue in Arizona after the City of Glendale ended its lease with the team. The team’s tenure at Mullett Arena in Tempe was supposed to be temporary while the new arena was built.As recently as 11 years ago, Toronto businessman John Graham and his company, On Ice Management, made an earnest attempt to buy the Coyotes, which were then owned by the league after bankruptcy, and bring the team to Saskatoon.
One can make millions of arguments why the NHL will not work permanently in Saskatoon, though probably not as many millions as the dollars the league has lost trying to make hockey thrive in Arizona.
