Atlanta Thrashers move to Winnipeg approved

[tk90]

It's probably the worst-kept secret by the NHL, but it was just recently made 100% official. The relocation of the Atlanta Thrashers is finally approved, and will play in Winnipeg, Manitoba starting with the upcoming 2011-12 season.

I'm not a Thrashers fan (go Blues), but I know losing your team has got to be the worst feeling for a fan. I feel awful for the Thrashers fans. But I'm sure this isn't the last Atlanta will see of the NHL.

That makes the 2nd NHL team the city has lost to Canada. (Atlanta Flames) now Calgary.
