21-Dec-06. NHL opens door to Pens’ move. Globe and Mail, S1.

The National Hockey League has raised the possibility of moving the Pittsburg Penguins professional ice hockey team to another city after a state agency thwarted their plans to build a new arena. Yesterday, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board chose not to award a slot-machine operating licence to a company backed by owners of the team. The company, Isle of Capri, had pledged $290-million (U.S.) toward construction of a new arena if it won the licence.
