The potential purchase has sparked a new wave of rumors that a hockey team may be headed to Hamilton, Ontario - a city located near both the head office of RIM and Canada’s largest city, Toronto.

Now I know the people of Hamilton have had the prospect of an NHL team dangled in front of them before, only to have it turn into nothing, but at least they aren’t bitter.

Let’s get a reaction from Ken Peters of the Hamilton Spectator:

An added bonus is an ad for some kind of local appliance store and the raw electric charisma of Ken Peters!
