I have never understood why three cities don't have a NHL team.
1. Milwaukee. Very Scandinavian, while the city, proper, is 40% white (mostly Sandinavian), the city, proper, has 400,000 people while the "Metro" has 1.5 and that is 80 percent white. College hockey is huge there and in the Upper Peninsula precisely because there is no NHL team.
2. Kansas City. Similar to Milwaukeee and there is also no NBA team there (odd that basketball crazy has no NBA team) so the NHL team would "own winter pro sports" there.
3. Houston. Simply because if "warm" cities like Los Angeles and Anaheim, Dallas, Tampa, Miami and now perhaps again Atlanta have teams I am surprised Houston does not because it is a huge market.
I have also wondered about Cincinatti (see Kansas City, no winter sports) and Cleveland, but maybe Columbus is close enough to cover both fan interestests in those cities.

There's been talk of a team in Cincinnati, but I doubt that happens since Cincy is under 2 hours to Columbus. tCBJ AHL affiliate is in Cleveland.
Milwaukee is only 1.5 hours from Chicago, I think that's perhaps the reason. Not sure if they are Hawks fans up there or what, but that seems likely.

Salt Lake, too.
Soon to be awarded another Winter Olympics. The Coyotes should move there.
