The empty 20,000 square feet space at Videotron Centre in Quebec City might transform into a locker room for a potential revival of the Quebec Nordiques. Nearly 30 years after the NHL left, the city recently hosted a PWHL game that drew over 18,000 fans, highlighting its enduring passion for hockey. Players and fans expressed excitement, signaling a strong case for professional hockey's return, possibly through women's leagues as Quebec City continues to advocate for more teams in the area to rejuvenate its hockey legacy.
"It was a tragedy, said Jocelyn Thibault, who played in the Nordiques' final two seasons. When you lose a professional team, it leaves a big hole in a city."
"I had chills the whole time. It was very special. Une journee de reve, tout simplement magique, pour Catherine Dubois, native de Quebec."
"Quebec City makes a strong case for expansion. Is a women's hockey team the most likely way to bring back pro hockey to the city?"
"The Professional Women's Hockey League brought its Takeover Tour of neutral-site games across North America to the city, with the Montreal Victoire playing the Ottawa Charge."
