Quebec City's Videotron Centre may host multiple NHL games next season
According to a report from La Presse, the National Hockey League may be hosting games next season at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City. The report says that the Ottawa Senators are likely to play five regular season games at the 18,259 seat arena.
During a virtual meeting between Gary Bettman and the Quebec government, there were discussions on how to prove that the market was ready to host the NHL once again, and it was the Commissioner who mentioned the idea of the Senators playing games there.
When asked about this report, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly played it down, saying that discussions are at the preliminary stage, nothing has been finalized.
Bill Daly regarding @LP_LaPresse story on the @Senators playing 5 games in Quebec City next season: « There have been expressions of interest and very preliminary discussions at this point. Nothing more. »— Renaud Lavoie (@renlavoietva) March 30, 2022
To add another wrinkle to this report, according to Anthony LeBlanc, the Senators' president of business operations, the team has held discussions with Quebec City in regards to potentially co-hosting the 2023 World Juniors in December.
The Senators are reportedly not happy with the timing of the report from La Presse after team owner Eugene Melnyk passed away on Monday night.
