The book was a great lesson on what happens when power and greed is the motivation behind building an arena and NHL Franchise. As a tax payer in a sports town, a must read.
THIN ICE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
A thorough and unbiased account of the struggles to compete and survive as a small market professional sports franchise. Book takes us through the history of pro hockey in Winnipeg, from its pre-NHL days, to the Winnipeg Jets, and finally to the Jets demise and relocation to Phoenix. The author's conclusions and predictions have proven to be slightly off base with the passage of time, but the book is still a fascinating read.

This book demonstrates a ken sense for the takeover of the Canadian Game (Hockey) by the US. Goes in depth on the background work on the Winnipeg Jets. Great Book! Trying to find more on a similar topic!
