Linden: Vancouver Canucks excited at the prospect of a rival in Seattle
MANALAPAN, Fla. — Trevor Linden is looking forward to potentially driving to one of his team’s road games in the near future.
The president of the Vancouver Canucks says the club welcomes the development from this week’s NHL board of governors meetings that the league has agreed to consider an expansion application for Seattle.
Hollywood filmmaker Jerry Bruckheimer and billionaire David Bonderman have also been given the green light to start a season-ticket campaign to gauge fan interest.
“For us, it’s a natural,” Linden said Friday after the board of governors meeting wrapped up in Florida. “To have a freeway rivalry would be great.”
