With Season 2 wrapped up, we will take a look at some Franchises on the move
QUEBEC / MICHIGAN
Au revoir Nordiques, hello Wolverines!
It was sweet ride, albeit short lived. The attempt to revive the Nordiques Franchise has failed. Although their new GM brought renewed success on the ice, ‘twas ne pas être
The new owner is bringing their star GM with them as they relocate to Michigan to become the Wolverines
Nous souhaitons aux fans de québec un triste au revoir

NASHVILLE / HALIFAX
Smashville to Glattville
After back to back 1st round exits, and attendance dwindling, the Nashville Predators have officially gone extinct.
All is not lost though. The new ownership group will be installing the franchise in Halifax. The question is, will #69 be retired on opening night?
There can only be one (winner), Burnaby Billionaires GM hopes it will be the Highlanders!

Burnaby Billionaires GM
PITTSBURGH / ISRAEL
A Raven levels up to Ziz
After 2 seasons of disappointing outcomes, and some trades with mixed results, the Pittsburgh Ravens ownership group has decided to use their lack of ticket sales as a reason for their exit from Pennsylvania
"This was a tough choice we had a 2 year deal with the old PPG paints arena and the owners of it were not happy at all with our sales production... Fans where not interested in this team and our second choice was Israel before we took the city of Pittsburgh... We have a good town which could flourish with this team and enjoy every piece of it.. This team has a good core and decent management we should be able to rebound from the below average franchise start... When it comes down to it, its about money. We were in the negative, and TJG Entertainment Group needed a change" - Ravens Hockey Operations
They will look to fill the void in the Eur/Asia Division inevitably left by a Milan Franchise in trouble
Pittsburgh Ravens rise from the ashes to become the Israel Ziz

Detroit Rockers GM
SUDBURY / MISSISSAUGA
After making two impulse hires, and running their finances into the ground, the majority owner of Sudbury had lost controlling interest. With the NHL at the helm, they hope to have now found a stable location for this franchise in Mississauga
With their new GM in tow, they will try to buck the trend they’ve been on after 2 disappointing seasons
Wolves become the Broncos

MILAN
Rumors continue to circle of an impending relocation. In an offseason with a ton of uncertainty for a few clubs, it’s not a surprise
Will the online petition asking for the removal of the Melonheads as an NHL team name gain steam? Petition founder, and sole signee, H.D had this to say
“ I’m not a mascot, I just have a big head” - H.D
Notorious recluse, and once proud Owner/GM sharkboi has been said to have been seen creeping around the Milan offices lately. Perhaps this franchise finds a way to stay put. I am hearing of a potential buyer in Hamilton …(isn’t there always a potential buyer in Ham though?)

Stay tuned for news as we hear it
