Downtown is not the ideal place for the new stadium that would be required IF the NHL was ever to come to Halifax.

Parking and traffic on any night when there is something on at the Metro Centre is a nightmare now, and that is in its current configuration, imagine if there were 5000-7000 more people trying to get to a game, especially if they were from out of town and not familiar with the city.

Anyways, it's a moot point. As much as I want to see it, the NHL wont be here for a LONG time. There are markets way ahead on the list, plus the current management of the NHL is much more focused on the USA than Canada (as wrong as that is).
