It’s also pretty vague and probably more factual - they won’t be able to continue with all of the current teams without a plan to replace the aging facilities. Remember a no vote probably meant no reno for a decade or more.

Again though, I don't remember the Charge threatening to leave Ottawa. They just said they'll explore other options.
At the end of the day, we're spending half a billion for the OSEG sports teams, not the PWHL. OSEG (through Hunt) had plenty of experience with the aging Civic Centre complex. They didn't raise any major concerns when 1.0 was being negotiated in the early 2010s. They claimed it would be fine for many more decades.
