got this today.it's from the hartford whalers booster club which still holds meetings.and still runs road trips.apparantly they're trying to organize an event.
Thank you for responding to our web poll to help bring back NHL hockey to Connecticut.
You may already be aware of the tribute to be paid to three stalwarts in Hartford Whaler history; notably, Ronnie Francis, Kevin Dineen and Ulf Samuelsson on Friday, January 6, 2006. The event will take place at the Hartford Civic Center prior to the AHL game between the Portland Pirates (Head Coach Kevin Dineen) and the Hartford WolfPack (Assistant Coach Ulf Samuelsson) at 7:00p.m.
I think now is the time to fill the Civic Center, once again, to honor these three heroes of Hartford Whaler Hockey and to show everyone the support that still exists for NHL Hockey. I have made arrangements to have seats available at the group rate of $14.50 for adults ($8.00 for children under 16). Our tickets will be located in Section 302. You may purchase these tickets through our Booster Club, details will be posted on the website. Game day prices for these tickets are $18.00 for adults ($9.00, for children under 16).
It would be great to have a strong showing of Whaler fans for this event, decked out in their team colors, all sitting together in the Booster Club section 302.

I received this e-mail as well. Im kinda torn about all this because I wont to show support for Hartford hockey but I hate the idea of putting money in the Rangers pocket.
There are two ways the NHL will look at a city like Hartford.
1. Pack the HCC and show us you want hockey back!
or
2. Be a good little minor league city and support the Rangers.
If there was some way I knew the NHL was leaning towards number 1 (pardon the pun) I'd be there in a New York minute. Packing the arena wont hurt the prospects of the Whalers returning but It doesnt necessarily help it.
