	New England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name New England dates to the earliest days of European settlement: in 1616 Captain John Smith described the area in a pamphlet "New England." The name was officially sanctioned in 1620 by the grant of King James I to the Plymouth Council for New England.
		New England led the rest of the country in abolishing the death penalty for crimes like robbery and burglary in the 19th century.
		New England is also the setting for most of the gothic horror stories of H.P. Lovecraft, most probably because he lived his life in Providence, Rhode Island.

	Hartford Whalers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		With the exception of a couple seasons in the late 1970s when the Whalers played at the Springfield Civic Center while the Hartford Civic Center was being renovated (due to the collapse of a portion of its roof after a blizzard) the franchise was in Hartford up until it relocated to North Carolina in 1997.
		In early 1997, negotiations between the Whalers, and the State of Connecticut and Governor John Rowland to build a new $147.5 million arena seemed to be going well and an agreement appeared close at hand.
