    Former Hartford Whalers hockey team owner Howard Baldwin is trying to get fans behind his efforts to bring an NHL team back to Hartford, Conn.

    Baldwin's latest venture is an outdoor skating rink at the Rentschler Field sports and entertainment stadium in East Hartford.

    A news conference has been scheduled for Wednesday to detail plans for the rink and various events designed to show Hartford is a hockey town.

    I heard theyre thinking of getting rid of the Hartford Wolfpack (AHL) to open a way for an NHL Hartford team. I think it would be cool

    Why would they get rid of a minor league team to have an NHL team?
