Everyone Buzzing Over NHL-Winnipeg Talk

Winnipeg’s mayor says it’s just “a matter of time”
before a deal to move the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg is
announced.
Sam Katz says the deal to bring an NHL team back to
Winnipeg “is going to happen.”
He says there is an understanding the deal will move forward but
nothing is signed, sealed and delivered yet.
Excitement about the return of NHL hockey is growing in the city
with fans now buzzing about what the team should be called.
Thomas Steen played for the Winnipeg Jets for 14 years and is now
a city councillor.
He says he’s trying not to get too excited until the deal is
official.
