Our thoughts are with the families, friends and victims of 9-11 from over 80 countries of the world.~~~You probably heard these before. Or maybe you are asking these questions yourself?“There is still no tangible (public) evidence that a serious well-heeled ownership group from or for Winnipeg exists.”“Up to now we can legitimize their (the group’s) silence and I'd say the conditions are not yet ideal for our presumed group.”“The optimum time for it (the group) to reveal itself will very soon be upon us (after the Coyotes auction is settled and NHL hopefully wins)”The evidence is on this website, Myth #3: No Ownership Group (over 30 items, many with Mark Chipman, the group’s prime communicator, directly speaking on video or audio and quoted in many articles about the group’s plans for the NHL in Winnipeg):http://www.manitobamythbusters.com/php/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=77&MMN_position=108:101Would you as a respected businessperson from our city make these types of public statements, or have people make statements about your supposed-NHL desires without correcting them, if you were not certain that you could move ahead and buy a team?NHL fans would be OFFside to think this publicity is to be sought after.Who in the right mind would set themselves up for a public horsewhipping later?
