My city is also a victim of relocation

Canadians are allowed to have stereotypes of you folks too. I was proven wrong the first time I visited 'sunny' San Fran ; On the topic of stereotypes, I actually don't think most Canadians are happy to see the Thrashers leave. This Canadian would love for Georgians to have a team to cheer for. I do want Winnipeg to have a team, but not at someone else's expense. You can't blame the Winnipeg fans for being excited though. What I can't figure out is why the NHL Jerseys has bent over backwards to keep the Jets - er, Coyotes - in Phoenix, but Atlanta doesn't get that kind of help. I can tell how the Atlanta fans would be feeling because my city is also a victim of relocation, but on a much smaller scale. In Saint John New Brunswick, we had the Saint John Flames of the AHL. In 2001 they won the Calder cup and not more than two seasons later they moved to Omaha, then to Illinios, then to Abbotsford. It hurt to have our team ripped away from us but the reason for the move was obvious. We didn`t have the space in our arena, on a sold out night for our Junior team the Sea Dogs, the arena only holds about 6000 people, and thats after we expanded our seating. Although now the pain has gone becuase of our now beloved Sea Dogs I still can`t help buw wonder if the fan support might have grown over the past few years. Just this past season, we had a Flames night in which the arena was sold out to watch the Sea Dogs play in Flames uniforms. The attendance that there was compared to what i`ve read in comparision to many Hamilton Bulldogs games is almost double. So I feel for the Atlanta fans but I am also pumped to see another Canadian team. Not because I think we deserve it more, but because I want to see new rivalries in the league (Maybe my Canucks will finally have a rival that they don`t have to share with another team), and of course new NFL Jerseys. I think that if the Thrasher do move, and Betteman expands the league, one of the first places he should consider to expand to should be Atlanta. Of couse if you had an expansion that would mean that they would mean they would need more AHL teams, and I know a city that woudl welcome them with open arms. Sorry for the lack of paragraphing and possible lack of grammar. Atlanta really got the short end of the stick. Poor ownership. Which led to bad management, player instability, and ugly uniforms with too many colours.On the topic of Winnipeg, the Jets name should be brought back without question. Besides the Cleveland Browns, the NBA SuperSonics name, colours, and history will remain in Seattle, should the Wholesale Jerseysreturn to that city. Major League Soccer did it as well with the San Jose Earthquakes when the original franchise moved to Houston. I also don't like the idea of the Jets/Whomevers to be called Manitoba. Time to put the Winnipeg name back on the North American sports map. Afterall, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers do not play the likesWholesale Jerseys of the NY Giants or the Chicago Bears. However, Winnipeg and not Manitoba, would play New York and Chicago.
