		QUEBEC – Every day, the bellman at a downtown Quebec City hotel doles out directions, advice and suggestions just as easily as he blows his whistle for a taxi.
		The Nordiques are now called the Colorado Avalanche, due primarily because this picturesque city couldn't support the NHL with today's salary scale and need for tremendous corporate support.

	Log Cabin Chronicles Peter Black's Quebec Nordique column
		I still blame a referee for the Quebec Nordiques leaving the city in 1995 to become the Colorado Avarice, er, Avalanche.
		That first Nordiques team was almost entirely stocked with home-bred francophones and coached by Maurice Rocket Richard for all of two regular season games before he realized he didn't need the stress.
