Quebecor Inc. (TSX:QBR.B) has entered the running for an NHL expansion team.
The media company wrote on its Twitter account that it submitted its "candidacy for the NHL expansion process in order to bring the Nordiques back to Quebec City."
Quebec City and Las Vegas are believed to be the only cities that submitted official bids before Monday's deadline.
The NHL announced last month it was opening the formal expansion process. The application process began July 6.
Each expansion bid costs US$10 million. Deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed a portion of that is non-refundable, reportedly $2 million.
