The majority demographic of Atlanta isn’t big into hockey.

Yeah, give somebody else a shot instead of a third go ‘round for Atlanta.

I sure hope so. They’re building a massive development outside of Alpharetta for the new hockey team.

This. All of the hockey fans in Atlanta live up that way (aka the whites)

With a proper ownership hockey can absolutely do really well here. Problem with the Thrashers was the ASG gave absolutely zero shits about the Thrashers and was more invested in the Hawks, hosting concerts, and suing each other

They were worse, they actively sabotaged the franchise.

Give us good owners and it will be a good hockey town. The Thrashers were in the top half of the league in attendance. The owners just sucked arse
