An Open Letter To Gary Bettman

Dear Mr. Bettman, With regards to the current Phoenix Coyotes situation, you were recently quoted as saying “We don’t run out on cities.” While I agree that each city should ge given time to foster their franchises, Phoenix has had 13 years to develop a following and entrench themselves in the community. One could argue that the move to Glendale occurred within the last six years which disrupted consistency of location, but the arena is located adjacent to the Arizona Cardinals’ stadium so fan travel should not be an issue. It is only nine miles from Glendale to Phoenix, after all. Let’s face it: hockey hasn’t worked in the desert. It never will. The experiment should conclude now. While I’d love to see a team in my hometown of Hamilton (I now live in Victoria, BC), it has become clear that this will not happen. Mr. Balsillie has done too much damage to make this move a reality. It’s too bad, because Hamilton could support a team – and I believe the impact on Toronto and Buffalo
