Wants To Let Them Know Hartford Is Interested In An NHL Team: Hartford, CT mayor Eddie Perez met with NHL commish Gary Bettman yesterday to talk about a team coming back to Hartford if the city can build a new arena. The former Hartford Civic Center, now known as the XL Center, had been the home of the Hartford Whalers before they moved to North Carolina. Don’t get too excited though as all of this is just preliminary talks and Perez wanted to let the NHL know that Hartford would be interested in bringing a team back. [NHL Fanhouse]
