For those who might have missed whats happening in the city where Wayne Gretzky first made his mark in professional hockey, another round of taxpayer subsidies might soon be delivered to for-profit professional hockey in Edmonton.
The background: In 2011, Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz convinced city council to deliver up taxpayer cash for a new $450 million arena.
