While the league sent applications to 16 separate
groups/individuals, none from Seattle formally submitted an
application.
Bill Foley is leading the bid for Las Vegas, with ESPN reporting
the group applied as "Black Knight Sports and Entertainment
LLC," which includes the Maloof family.
Quebecor Inc., a media company, said it has submitted its
"candidacy for the NHL expansion process in order to bring the
Nordiques back to Quebec City." The Nordiques left in 1995 to
become the Colorado Avalanche.
Ownership groups had to submit applications, along with the $10
million fee ($2 million non-refundable), by Monday.
None of the three groups that discussed bringing the NHL to
Seattle submitted a bid.
