    Small market and money. Plus Gary Bettman doesn’t like Canada

    It was a gift from the citizens of Quebec City to the people of Colorado. We will always be thankful. Also a shout out to Montreal folks, thanks for letting us have Patrick.

    The final blow was the city not willing to build a new stadium. It also made it easier to move when the team was loaded with the young talent they had

    The startling part is Quebec City was the 2nd smallest professional sports market ahead of only Green Bay, WI.

    I assumed Quebec City might be an option for the Coyotes relocation, now I’m not so sure. It might be too small of a market.
