23 Seasons in Quebec City: The Currency Crisis That EXILED the Nordiques

Follow the financial and political decisions that shaped the Quebec Nordiques’ final years, from ownership pressures and arena economics to the decisive offer from Denver. The story separates the immediate sale from the deeper structural forces that made departure possible and reveals why civic passion alone could not keep the team in Quebec. 🔔 Subscribe for more documentaries about the hidden business, politics, and power behind professional sports franchises.
