Jim Balsillie and PSE Sports & Entertainment have spent millions of dollars and spent countless hours trying to bring NHL hockey to Hamilton. Show your appreciation for their efforts by signing the thank you card.
Jim,
I just wanted to say thanks…to you in your efforts to bring the NHL back to Hamilton. The process in itself has been very revealing and telling how the tiny imperfect czar sees the future of hockey in Canada. I say, drop the NHL and start a Canadian Hockey League – there’s lots of ripe cities out there!
Jim,
I just wanted to say thanks… You are true hockey fan, also a true Canadian!
I think what you doing is great! You have a dream, someday it will come true! Mr. Bman has a problem, but I think that some day he will be banging at your door up here in K-town!
There was a couple of things I didn’t understand why you were doing it that way, but your are a smart man!
Good luck, trust some day you will get a team!
Best wishes to you and your family!
Thanks Jim!
Jim,
Many times over the summer I would read another story about the Phoenix Coyotes, Gary Bettman, et al, and despite all the headlines about how you were being squeezed out of the proceedings or accused of whatever, you kept your resolve and you fought until the end. It was much more than a business deal to you and you proved it to all of us.
Jim,
I just wanted to say thanks…You had a great mission, and, in my mind, were the right man for the franchise. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors, and hopefully those include a National Hockey League team.
Jim, You are a hero to all Canadians. We love hockey and and deserve a 7th team. Don’t give up. We will be so happy when your dream comes true.

Jim,
I just wanted to say thank you for all you have done for hockey fans in Hamilton and Canada.
Your efforts have renewed our hopes that a team can finally be awarded to Hamilton now that the illegal veto of MLSE has been exposed.
You have accomplished what no one else would have ever been able to do. A 7th team is now on everyones radar for Canada because of your work.
Next time we have the cycling races in Hamilton please consider joining in. I’m sure you receive a very warm reception from our grateful city.
Best wishes,
Patrick
