WINNIPEG — Winnipeg’s hockey fans are already celebrating the National Hockey’s League’s return to Manitoba.
But the premier has a message for those chomping at the bit — be patient.
Premier Greg Selinger says he knows there is a lot of excitement about a possible deal to move the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg.
He says Winnipeg is well-positioned to support an NHL team again.
But Selinger adds that fans need to put their trust in True North Sports and Entertainment, which is in talks now to relocate the team.
Many have already declared the move a done deal and fans are planning formal celebrations in the weeks to come.
