Jets4Life said:What on earth are you talking about?? The Pan AM Games had nothing to do with building a new arena. When did I say anything about Barry Shankerow? Finally, how is it the people of Winnipeg's fault? Please elaborate!
First off, I am very connected to the city of Winnipeg. I have an inside to the financial dealings of the Pan Am games and remember that basically, the city of Winnipeg said there was no money for the hockey team for a new arena because any money that could have been applied to an arena went to building for the games. This was the choice of the people of Winnipeg.
You said in one of your first posts that it was an ownership problem. Barry Shankerow was the owner and he wasn't the problem. http://www.hfboards.com/showpost.php?p=2025241&postcount=4 Here it is and it is unedited at the time of this posting
