baseball, you can't have a triple a team next to the big club. Nobody does that, right?
NHL does it with the Chicago Wolves.
Aeros were 6th in attendance during their last year. LINK
What helps Houston ticket sales vs say, Quebec City, is the number of local Houstonians that would show to root for their road team.

I don't think there's any space-related nicknames left for Houston to get another professional Franchise.
But seriously, if there was enough support for an NHL team here, I've gotta think those folks could afford to build their own arena and not have to use the Toyota Center. It may not be economical, but now you can move concerts/wrestling/trade shows/conventions/etc. and split them between the two arenas. So it's not like they couldn't do it if they really wanted to.
Eventually the NHL is going to go to 32 teams. I'd think for Houston to realistically have a shot, they'd have to have an arena and the necessary suitors already in place...which they don't have.
