Breaking: Major development in NHL expansion talks.

While it may be a little too early yet for NHL fans in Quebec City to rejoice this is certainly a very very good sign.

A recent French language report from Radio-Cananda in the Province Quebec has revealed just how promising Quebec's chances at getting a new team seem to be.

With the heads of Quebecor, the company backing the bid to acquire a new NHL franchise in Quebec City, in New York City meeting with the heads of the National Hockey League the eyes of the French hockey media are firmly focused on New York.

Sources have revealed that one of the big pieces of information to come out of the meeting is that of the 30 NHL owners, not a single one has voiced an objection to expansion in Quebec City.

While this is hardly an official poll of how NHL owners would vote, speculation would lead one to velive that any vote on expansion for Quebec would be highly likely to pass.
