NHL To Hartford @ The XL Center

When: Saturday, November 16th, from 4:30 - 5:30 PM

Where: XL Center Sports Bar & Book, Southwest Section (Game Time: 6:00 PM)

Why: Connect with fellow Whalers fans, learn about the NHLtoHartford movement, and become a "Founding Shareholder"! We’re excited to announce our first gathering next Saturday! Come decked out in your Whalers gear, ready to share memories and meet others passionate about bringing an NHL team back to Connecticut.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Networking & Refreshments: Enjoy food, drinks, and a chance to mingle with like-minded fans. At 5:05, hear from those actively working to make Hartford a contender for the NHL’s next expansion, competing with cities like Atlanta, Cleveland, Houston, Hamilton, and Quebec City. Share Your Stories: Got a favorite Whalers memory? Sign up for a 30-100 second slot to share it! Just email your story idea, and we’ll schedule you in. Special Merchandise: Skip the shipping! Browse and buy NHLtoHartford.org items like our “Make Connecticut SKATE Again!” pucks, caps, T-shirts, stuffed whales, and sweatshirts—all available on-site. Shareholder Enrollment: For those who want to get in early, this is the first opportunity to join as a founding shareholder with a $120 deposit, refunded with interest in 30 months if the NHL doesn’t offer an expansion by then. If the league offers a spot, your deposit converts to a $600 ownership share, inspired by the community ownership model of the Green Bay Packers. We accept cash, check, or Zelle for deposits. Financial Assurance: All deposits go into a secure, interest-bearing CD at TD Bank, earning 4.5% and reinvested through May 2027. Mark Greenstein funds any recruiting and administrative expenses, ensuring that all deposits are strictly dedicated to demonstrating fan commitment.
