Why were the Quebec Nordiques sold

The Quebec Nordiques were a professional ice hockey team based in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. They were members of the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1979 to 1995, when they were relocated to Denver, Colorado, and renamed the Colorado Avalanche.

There were several reasons why the Nordiques were sold and relocated. Firstly, the team had struggled financially for many years. They had never made a profit, and their attendance figures had been declining in recent seasons. Secondly, the Nordiques' arena, the Colisée Pepsi, was outdated and in need of major renovations. The Quebec government was unwilling to invest in the arena, and the Nordiques could not afford to do so on their own.

Thirdly, the NHL was expanding at the time, and there was a desire to add a team in a major US market. Denver was a growing city with a large population and a strong economy. The NHL believed that a team in Denver would be more successful than the Nordiques were in Quebec City.

Finally, the Nordiques' owner, Marcel Aubut, was eager to sell the team. He had been trying to sell the team for several years, and he was finally able to find a buyer in COMSAT Entertainment Group. COMSAT was a telecommunications company that was looking to expand its sports portfolio.

The sale of the Nordiques was a controversial decision, and it caused a great deal of anger and disappointment in Quebec City. However, it was ultimately a business decision that was made by the NHL and the Nordiques' ownership.
