HARTFORD — In a letter sent to Carolina Hurricanes owner, Thomas Dundon, Governor Malloy asks that they play one game outside at Rentschler Field in East Hartford.
“My proposal is simple: Bring the Whalers back to their rightful home for a regular season outdoor game at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field,” Malloy said in the letter.
“With a capacity of more than 40,000 and a ready market anxious for an NHL team, eager to fill seats, buy tickets and merchandise, and support their team, this would be a perfect opportunity for the Hurricanes to embrace the franchise heritage – and be embraced by a grateful fan base,” Malloy added.
The Whaler Guys were the first to announce Malloy’s pitch to Hurricanes owner.
