from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,
From Ancaster to Stoney Creek, Hamilton-area hockey fans could see their dream of landing an NHL franchise dry up in an Arizona courtroom today.
Of course, Blackberry moneybags Jim Balsillie is not about to let that happen without a fight.
Both Balsillie and his arch-rival, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, are scheduled to be on hand in Phoenix when U.S. bankruptcy Judge Redfield T. Baum makes a key decision that will help determine if a seventh Canadian NHL team will, in fact, become a reality.
With Bettman sitting in the room, Balsillie will be available to answer any questions the court might have concerning his attempt to purchase the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes and move the team to shinny-starved Steeltown.
It now rests in Baum’s hands.
