First off, a Burlington NHL is never going to happen! Ever! Hamilton would get one before Burlington, which is ALSO never going to happen. It's clear that the NHL board of Governors (and Betteman) hates Hamilton, and would prefer a team in Vaughan/Maple (aka Hanna Barbera Land). Go Vaugan Minebusters!?!

I've come to the conclusion as a (Proud!) Hamiltonian & an NHL fan (Go Habs, Go'ooh wait) that the NHL will never settle in this City again, regardless of WHO'S behind the idea (Wayne Gretzky, the NHLPA, Local/Provincial/Federal Politicians, billionaire NHL-obsessor Balsillie, etc). Sad, but very very true.

So my only hope lies in Kitchener-Waterloo. I would rather see a team there than ANY GTA suburb (besides Hamilton, of course). One could grab the K-W LRT to the arena, or walk one of their walkable downtowns to the game and grab some drinks/food before/after the game in the arena's general vicinity. Much like one could do in Hamilton by Copps!

So lets not change this Blog into a Burlington vs Hamilton debate. That's old & tired!!! We all know the differences and similarities between the two, so why fight about it!?
