The NHL said no once the news came out public. > Montreal Canadiens fans in Outaouais will not be able to attend Saturday's watch party at Centre Slush Puppie in Gatineau. The event was canceled at the last minute. According to our sources, it was an issue of exclusive territorial rights reserved for the Ottawa Senators that prevented the event. > Two sources tell us that the Sens should have given its approval, which was not done. The Senators did not veto, according to our information, but they did not accept either. > NHL regulations state that “each member has exclusive territorial rights in the city where it is located and within a radius of 50 miles [80 kilometers] of the boundaries of that city”. > “The Senators had very, very little to do with the decision”, said Ottawa team spokesman Sylvain St-Laurent, interviewed by Radio-Canada. “This is not a decision that was made by the Senators and the involvement was very minimal”, he adds, before refusing any further comment. submitted by /u/DecentLurker96 [link] [comments]
