Quebec Moving to Vancouver

[StamkosFan 72]

In the excitement of the new VHL and VHLM expansion franchises, the relocation of the Quebec City Meute for the upcoming season has gone somewhat under the radar comparatively. The longstanding VHL club is moving away from its francophone identity and heading to Vancouver, British Columbia, changed from the French team name to the simple Vancouver Wolves, a move that was hinted to Quebec players slightly before the initial announcement. There is not a huge French-speaking crowd in the VHL, so this move makes perfect sense with the majority of the VHL demographics being English-speaking. Many VHL members hail from British Columbia, so this move should definitely appeal to some of them, and it'll be the province's first VHL club. A British Columbian club has been highly requested for awhile, so many folks are elated to hear the news. This should definitely draw more fans and bigger crowds, and should help the franchise to leave its poor, infamous Continental Cup Finals record in the past. The Quebec logo will remain the same as it was before the move, as will its management, still being lead by GM Beaviss; it marks a new chapter as they seek to leave a new legacy in a new city, but they certainly will not forget their Quebecois heritage.
