Quebecor, Inc. -- a Montreal-based communications company that owns newspapers, television stations, and cable providers -- announced today that it would submit a bid to the NHL to place in an expansion team in Quebec City, restoring the Nordiques branding that was lost to Denver in 1995 and became the Colorado Avalanche. The deadline for these $10 million submissions is August 10th and this bid is expected to be in competition with cities like Seattle, Las Vegas, and Toronto, who is looking to add a second team to its large hockey market.
We confirm that we submitted our candidacy for the #NHL expansion process in order to bring the #Nordiques back to #Québec City.
