Wolfpack.

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

4:25

Yes, because of one simple reason we do not have hockey in Bridgeport.

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

4:33

The team is in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

4:38

And they're filling up those seats.

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

4:41

Just speculating.

C

But there's

no hockey in Bridgeport.

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

4:48

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

4:52

should I?

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

5:09

It'll be a big waste of my time.

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

5:15

It really would be.

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

5:17

I have better things to talk about.

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

5:27

But there's no hockey in Bridgeport.

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

5:31

After 25 years of a city of Bridgeport's existence of having a hockey team...

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

5:50

And that bid, who knows what it would be.

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

5:54

We really don't know what the bid is, who was going to be the person to take over the arena, total mortgage arena.

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

6:06

Let's be clear about that.

C

Carlos OrtegaHost

6:10

And It's going to be a process.
