OMMF 120 Posted June 16, 2013 According to Elliotte Friedman, the Vancouver Canucks, who announced on Friday that their AHL team was moving to Utica, N.Y., originally had planned to put it in Seattle in KeyArena. Turns out, they were told "it was not available for hockey," reported Friedman.http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/phoenix-coyotes-moving-seattle-roenick-reportedly-part-plan-143114434.html 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gothamite 24,505 Posted June 16, 2013 "Not available for hockey" in the sense that "we've already promised that to somebody else." Like the Coyotes. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
