French Website: Phoenix, Carolina Next in NHL All-Star Game Line
January 24, 2009 1 Comment
Phoenix was originally supposed to get the All-Star Game in 2006
Good morning folks, we open the day with some breaking news from RDS on the future of the All-Star Game (Translated Poorly):
According to the news obtained by RDS, the next game of the stars, in 2011, will take place at Phoenix. The next year, the annual game will not have place because of the Olympic Games to Vancouver. Afterward, the Hurricanes of the Caroline should be the next organizers of this encounter.
There you go. Congrats to Phoenix, and the Hurricanes of the Caroline for getting the NHL’s mid-season showdown in 2011 and 2012. Columbus, Ottawa, Washington, New Jersey and Pittsburgh should all be in line sometime after that. But these are two solid choices to help the NHL grow the game in some non-traditional hockey markets.

Heh. I guess this is the NHL’s way of saying the Coyotes are still going to be around in a couple years?
