TechnoratiJim Balsillie, chairman of RIM, has purchased the Pittsburgh Penguins. The burning question on a lot of people’s minds is whether the Penguins will move, and if so, where? It’s been speculated that Hamilton was considered. Wouldn’t it be something, though, if they moved the team to Kitchener or Waterloo so as to be closer to RIM’s offices? It seems like a decent idea to me. We’re a bit further away from Toronto than Hamilton is, so the Leafs will have less reason to cry about encroachment on their market. Plus, Kitchener-Waterloo is within close proximity to plenty of surrounding cities like London, Guelph, St. Catherines and even Barrie; a potential market of well over one million people, if not close to two million. Imagine Sid Crosby and Evgeny Malkin playing in “Blackberry Arena” over on Phillip Street 
That would be wild. We’ll have to wait and see where Balsillie will move the Penguins or if he’ll keep them in Pittsburgh.
Either way, RIM must be selling a whole lot of Blackberries and related software and services
