Surprising no one in particular, Ice Edge Holdings has decided to go after the Phoenix Coyotes again and not move them from the desert- a move, those of us at OSG HQ are sure, the National Hockey League likes a great deal...
“Our plan has always been to buy it and operate in Phoenix,” he said.
Ice Edge is made up of eight Canadian and American businessmen, including former Research In Motion Ltd. executive Anthony LeBlanc and John Breslow, a current co-owner of the Coyotes.
Jones also told Waldie that Ice Edge has lined up financing for the bid. “We feel pretty confident with our financing,” he said.
And they still want to do the "couple of home games in Saskatoon idea" that hasn't been approved by the NHL yet, either...
Jones said the group is confident it can make NHL hockey work in Phoenix.
“We’re sticking in this because we believe there is a fan base there that exists, that wants to support the team and wants to go to games,” he said.
Those of us at OSG HQ would like to say good luck with that one...
