I think that [the current realignment proposal] would definitely help the hockey markets in Tampa and Florida for sure. Whenever an Original Six team comes down here it’s always a sellout and that’s not usually the case in a lot of the games played down here. To have [more] Original Six teams in their division would help them. From my standpoint it’s a little more travel for us, but it’s never a bad thing to come to Florida in February. That wouldn’t be such a bad thing at all.
