Reimer wants NHL team in Winnipeg

Reimer wants NHL team in Winnipeg Hockey Sports Toronto Sun

I knew this was a good kid. Staying true to his Manitoban roots, James Reimer talks about his time growing up on the prairies and watching the Winnipeg Jets. I would argue that someone would be hard pressed to find a player in the NHL that disagrees with having a team in Winnipeg. This is the heart and soul of hockey. It is not only a game here but a way of life. Ask any NHL player where he would rather play. In a half empty arena where nobody in the city knows his name but he can go golfing 365 days a year. Or, would you rather play in front of a packed house with screaming fans cheering you on. Being treated like a movie star when you walk around town. Sure you have to shovel some snow, but isn't it worth it. What kid dreams of joining the NHL so he can live on the beach? Let's bring hockey back to where it belongs!
