The Quebec Nordiques moved to Denver to become the Colorado Avalanche before the 1995-96 season. The primary reason was financial. The Canadian dollar was only worth about 0.70 US so the salaries were very expensive since they are in American dollars. In addition, Quebec City, though very loyal to hockey, is quite small. Not sure what the populations at the time are but Quebec City is currently 500,000 while Denver has 5,500,000. That is 11 times the population of Quebec City. So even if the population is not as fanatic, even if they are even 20% of the popularity of Quebec City, that would still be more than double the number of fans. Hands down the best opion!
