MTS Centre was reportedly designed with hosting two home teams. Back before the Jets returned there was a fair bit of chatter that the NLL would be the second time.

After the Jets returns there was chatter about adding in another hockey team. The talk was around the possibility of a WHL team. There is (was?) even a proposed plan for an approximately 5,000 seat arena near the IcePlex which could have worked well for a WHL team.

Now that the AHL and NHL are both in the city the schedule at MTS Centre is pretty full and the push for a 5,000 seat arena has slid to the backburner. The talk of the WHL is all but dead for now. With the possibilities of sharing essentially dead there seems to be little hope for the NLL right now.

That said fortunes could turn. It still feels like the AHL is going to move out of here as other markets are going to be more lucrative long term, especially something like putting the Moose in Saskatoon.

PS Doubt the NLL would use the Winnipeg Warriors name even if they came due to its history as the city's WHL team.
