REPORT | Aquillini and the Canucks about to add another Sports franchise to their portfolio?
Francesco Aquillini is one of the wealthiest men in all of Canada, and he's been the Canucks' owner for quite some time now.
Donnie and Dhali discussed the ongoing rumors suggesting Aquillini would be in the mix for the WHL's Winnipeg Ice. Not only would he be a potential buyer, but they'd be moving the team to Chilliwack. Here's the said sequence:
The rumor mill seems to be heating right back as different media reported the story. Usually, where there's smoke, there's fire:
The Winnipeg Ice have had quite the year in the WHL as they ultimately fell to the Seattle Thunderbird in the League's final. If they were to move to Chilliwack, the BCHL team, the Chiefs, would obviously have to find a new home. That would cause chaos in the Chilliwack hockey sphere.
