Let me start by saying I think Houston could support a NHL hockey club. AZ,FL, and Dallas TX are doing a great job supporting there hockey clubs. 2,016,582 people live in Houston TX 1,601,587 people live in the Phoenix AZ Tampa Bay FL. has around 332,888. Dallas TX has 2,412,827. Dallas seems to be doing ok as well as the other cities I have mentioned. Houston was a great sports town at one time. With the Houston Rockets winning in 1994/95 the Houston Oilers from 1960 to 1996. We can't forget the up and coming Houston Texans. Don't forget the long rich history of the Houston Astros. Lets not forget our own Houston Aeros AHL team. Houstons renowned sports history blends multiple sports into one city. A new NHL team to Houston could bring A) jobs B) revenue C) entertainment D) a new found love for hockey. The Houston Aeros could move to the Sugar Land ice arena and the new hockey team could share with the Houston Rockets. The team name that I had thought would be a good fit is the Houston Heat. You can sign my petition as well as check me out on facebook Help bring the NHL to Houston TX. Lets start a new Houston tradition and show the NHL and the world what Houston is all about.
