High times for Seattle sports fans. Besides the rumblings of the Sacramento Kings possibly moving to the Emerald City, there’s now the belief that the National Hockey League could soon arrive as well.
According to the Associated Press, Greg Jamison, a potential owner, did not complete the purchase of the Phoenix Coyotes before a lease agreement with the City of Glendale (Ariz.) expired on Thursday. This opens the door for other bidders to buy the team that is operated by the NHL — and a likely name will be Chris Hansen, the same man trying to resurrect the Seattle SuperSonics.
King County executive Dow Constantine, one of the instrumental players who helped get a bill passed to construct the new downtown Seattle arena, said last year that “there are unbridled enthusiasts to bring back hockey (to Seattle).”
Seattle once had the Metropolitans, a professional hockey team that won the 1917 Stanley Cup.
