Back in the glory days of Canadian hockey, players such as George Armstrong and Red Kelly exemplified Canadian hockey dominance. They won four Stanley Cups together as Maple Leafs teammates between 1962 and 1967. However, these former blue and white warriors disagree on what should be done to resolve the financial crisis in Canadian hockey. Kelly supports the idea of giving Canadian teams tax breaks to keep them in Canada. He thinks that if government can subsidize Canadian corporations to help them compete internationally, hockey teams should be included.
Hockey teams are a business.
They employ people. They pay taxes. I think you've got to give them incentives to keep them in Canada. Armstrong played 21 seasons for the Leafs, the most in team history. He personified Canadian hockey in his time.
