According to a few sources, including the radio channel FM93, the elected official wishes to keep the channels of communication with the NHL open. He had also discussed in virtual mode with the big boss of the league on January 13 and at the time, Bettman said that his organization was not interested at the moment in bringing a concession to the Old Capital.

Quebec is still waiting for a team after the transfer of the Nordiques, which became the Colorado Avalanche in 1995. Elsewhere in the NHL, the case of the Arizona Coyotes continues to be talked about, especially their denigrators. This training must evolve next season in the Sun Devils arena at Arizona State University. Inside this infrastructure of about 5,000 seats, they will not be able to display their logo in the center of the ice rink, among other things.
