Broom is probably mad that a professional sport played by white males is coming to Baton Rouge.

Nonetheless, it’s great news! The Kingfish were a blast.

Cajundome should try and get them back. Probably wouldn’t work if hockey season is same time as college basketball season.

I have no doubt bunch of coonasses and college kids would pack out a game with cold beer and ice violence.

I still say “The Red Sticks” is a great name and just too easy to pass up.

I wish they’d stop saying “pro” hockey team and getting me all excited. It’s a minor league team

To any of you that never went….The Kingfish games were a good time. This is my king to be a solid event for families.

Hopefully they upgrade the Jumbotron and screens in the River Center.

They need to renovate the River Center.
It looked depressing for the exhibition game I went to.

Maybe the Louisiana Red Sticks. Otherwise that’s like calling them The Baton Rouge Baton Rouges or the Red Stick Red Sticks.

Last I checked, Baton Rouge was 178th on the NHL's expansion priority list.

The players get paid. That's what makes it a pro team.

Dude, it's a lot better than what we have. You think Louisiana could support an NHL team?

They are paid to play a game. Therefore professional athletes.

Hard to expand the NHL into mid sized markets in the south. Hockey is primarily a white blue collar Midwest/northeast game.
