that an existing team will be moving to Winnipeg any time he also says expansion to Winnipeg is a virtual impossibility in the Short term the next who expansion franchise will be awarded to the North Western United Robison will admit that Winnipeg is on the radar our Lon term strategy is to be in the 15 Best markets in Western and Victoria and Winnipeg Are certainly on that he said we have great people in Winnipeg whom we know could do a tremendous Job operating a but we also recognize that the Moose Are the exist ing team in the Market and we would not do anything without the Complete co operation of the members of Thompsons group echoed Robinsons sentiments last Robison knows that the who could be an attractive alternative for Many hockey for one ticket prices to who games Are significantly lower than tick ets to pro hockey at any and from the owners a who franchise has considerably lower operating if the who is Ever to come to Winnipeg there is one huge problem where would this team actually play its games the Ideal scenario is a simple and one that not Only makes overwhelming but is fully supported by the Thompson ownership the provincial and Federal governments must agree to find the fund ing for the Manitoba mooses new seat downtown entertainment while the new building is under con Winnipeg enterprises corporation would allow both teams to play at the at this that a Distant pos Sibil the Moose have exclusive rights to hockey at the Arena and while its con tract with Wec is up at the end of this the team no sign a new when that its unlikely Moose president

Gary its also a plan that would give life to the old barn on maroons when the new entertainment Complex built something must be done with the old the Only suggestion to this Date is that it be sold off or Thompsons plan is to reinvest in the old building by reconfiguring the pre sent Arena to allow for his educational component As Well As to have about seats for fans to watch the who there Are Many people in Winnipeg who would Welcome a who franchise and there is now an ownership group that can not Only bring a team to the City with the Blessing of the but also has a plan to provide
