Wayne Gretzky could be on his way back to the NHL as an owner, but in an entirely new location.

The New York Post reported Friday that Gretzky has joined a group of investors trying to bring an NHL team to Seattle.

A team in Seattle would be a mitzvah for me and so many other Canucks fans (all seventeen of us now)

Judging by the number of BCer's that make the drive for Seahawks and Sounders games, a hockey team down there would have more than a few tickets sold to Canadians.

Seems the post article may of jumped the gun, or Gretz wants to keep his part quiet a little while longer.

hope it's not an expansion team, Move one of the weak existing franchises.
