I’ve read about how the Arizona Coyotes might end up relocating eventually. The coyotes are already moving from the Pacific division to the central division. Houston seems like a very good market for them to land. Seattle got a team and begins play in 2020.

Personally, I’d love to see HTX land an NHL team. It would complete the pro sports group in the city. Games played at the Toyota center of course. Natural division and geographic rival would be the Dallas Stars.

This was a few months back

@MarkBermanFox26: NHL sources: #Rockets owner @TillmanJFertitta has met with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman about potential of bringing the NHL to Houston. Fertitta has had preliminary talks about buying & relocating the @ArizonaCoyotes to Houston. Nothing on that happening now. No decisions close

If the Yotes would just move out of Glenadale and back to downtown their issues would be solved

Sure. Call them the Oilers.

Nevermind, forgot about Edmonton.

Would Houstonians support them?

Not as it overlaps with football season but this time of year when it’s getting close to playoff time, I could see people getting on board.

QC I get no way Hamilton gets one though. Toronto is way too close.

It would help them to have a rival where the fans are rooting against the rival and not for it (Chicago, Detroit).

You know, because people who root for the Rockets, Astros, and Texans are fans of the Mavs, Rangers, and Cowboys.

You think Houston and Dallas root for each other?
