IAC Multinational, a Fairfield-based Global Mergers and Acquisitions investment firm, has won a bid for an NHL expansion franchise. The immediate plans are to return NHL hockey to Hartford, CT, a hockey starved market that has been reeling since the Whalers franchise departed for North Carolina after the 1997 NHL season. Preliminary plans to build a state-of-the-art arena in the Adrien's Landing section of the city will be funded by IAC and private investors. The city of Hartford will be required to lease the arena for a minimum of twenty years. With the success of the recent Hartford Yard Goats, a AA affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, and the success of UCONN Hockey East schedules, the investment group, led by Clint Woodward, believe the time is as good as any to make Hartford viable again in professional hockey. They are hoping the success of Dunkin Donuts Park will help revitalize a market with the addition of an arena that Hartford can be proud to call home. Gary Bettman, commissioner of the NHL, has admitted that the investment group came out of nowhere to make a bid that the league could not turn down. Bettman also admitted that Hartford should never have lost the Whalers franchise to begin with. The Hartford Whalers merchandise, to this day, outsells 20 existing NHL franchises merchandise. Woodward believes that this will only propel the new franchise to stardom on a national level. Details will follow after the press conference scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at the convention center in Hartford.
