Gary Bettman provides update on possible NHL expansion
BY JOSH JANUARY 24, 2023 (10:30 PM)
Before tonight's Montreal Canadiens versus Boston Bruins game Bettman took to the podium to speak about possible expansion.
Bettman explained that Geoff Molson, the owner of the Montreal Canadiens would approve the expansion to Québec City. This was always viewed as a potential major hurdle for any team entering the league.
This is exciting news for Canadian fans and they provide some hope of an 8th team entering the Canadian market.
With locations like Vegas and Seattle already being extremely profitable, it's only a matter of time before the NHL looks expand again.
