Support for NHL's Return to Winnipeg
Winnipeg – A majority of Manitobans (56%) now say they would support an NHL
team returning to Winnipeg, according to a new Jory Capital-Probe Research
Inc. poll of 1,000 Manitoba adults conducted for the Winnipeg Free Press.
The poll shows that public support for a National Hockey League franchise
returning to Winnipeg has intensified since a similar sounding was taken in June
2007, at which time 47 percent of Manitobans yearned for the return of the NHL
to the provincial capital. Opposition to the NHL’s return, meanwhile, has
decreased slightly, with just one in three adults (34%) now opposing a potential
NHL team in their province compared to 41 percent who felt this way two years
ago.
