Today,Gary Bettman spoke the words we’ve known were coming for weeks, if not months.
"Welcome to the NHL Las Vegas," he told a throng of reporters ahead of the NHL Awards.
First leaked after the executive committee met in New York, the league wouldn’t say anything publicly until after today’s Board of Governors meeting.
Jeremy Jacobs (Bruins owner, chairman of BOG), Bill Foley (Las Vegas owner) and Pierre Dion (CEO of Quebecor/Quebecor Media, potential Quebec City Owner) joined NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman at the podium for the press conference.
The press conference began with talk about the change in ownership of the New York Islanders.
