So how goes the hockey team?

I agree with this article.

The city needs to do everything in it's power to facilitate an NHL team, but let Balsillie (and basic business common-sense) do the convincing.

With someone who has as much desire and money as Balsillie being behind the city, and with the failed experiments in many US markets this decade and with the economic meltdown that'll hammer those markets further - this is the best chance Hamilton has to getting a team. The last thing we should do is negate those advantages by shooting ourselves in the foot.

Sit tight and don't rock the boat - and it'll happen eventually.
