I really hope it's NHL related but have a feeling it will be some sort of curling, UFC, or wrestling type event.

Rick Ralph said on the roundtable today that he had done a little bit of digging and the response he got back was that it isnt hockey related.

UFC would not surprise me as Winnipeg is always a top PPV viewer for their events. Wrestling would not warrant a press conference unless it's a major PPV and I dont see that happening. I suppose WWE bringing TV here would be a big deal (they sold out back to back TV's a few years ago at the old Arena).

WWE wouldnt be "Sports related"......or am I the only one who has such a foolish thought?

It's been awhile since Winnipeg hosted the Briar or a World Championship. my bet is on a major curling event.

WHL team, all star game, or UFC would be great. Same with the draft.

If its NHL related, then its the Draft.
Outdoor game announcements are made at the outdoor venue.
If not hockey related, then most likely a curling event or the UFC.

Well, if it aint hockey related....who cares.
Seriously, if not a huge hockey event - then what?
A concert - an awards show - etc etc.

Probably a curling event isnt Wpg already hosting the roar of the rings curling thing at mts during christmas time?.....i think it might be something other than curling, but who khows

Briars and world championships are awarded well in advance so it could be 3 years from now. So having the Olympic trails in December would not be a factor.
