"Make it Nine'' could be the new battle cry for Canadian hockey fans. A report from the Conference Board of Canada says this country could support at least two more N-H-L teams. The board adds Quebec City and Hamilton are the most suitable cities for the league to look at for expansion.

Even with 115-thousand or more tickets available, N-H-L commissioner Gary Bettman doesn't think they'll have enough to satisfy the demand for next year's Winter Classic. The Detroit Red Wings will host the Toronto Maple Leafs in the N-H-L's outdoor game at massive Michigan Stadium.
