in hockey Canada is really popular and it is their countries sport. They have a good amount but could have more.

A hot weather state like Florida doesnt really need an NHL team and they dont care too mcuh about hockey.

I think the Florida Panthers should move to a Canadien city like Winnipeg.

The Nashville Predators are another team that can be moved to Canada

You could say the same about the Thunder. Not too many poeple in OKC like basketball. But there is places like Pittsburgh, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle (lmao), etc.

I definitely think so. I saw this debated on PTI not long ago, and I agreed with the argument. There are so many almost pointless US based hockey teams. The Phoenix Coyotes are practically bankrupt and the Florida Panthers struggle to maintain a strong fan base. Canada is the birthplace of hockey, and they definitely deserve atleast two more teams. Keep the original historic US teams, but the newer franchises really should be Canadian.

But what's the point of calling it the NHL, it could be the USACHL... okay, maybe NACHL.

It is our league, America's league. But money talks and this sport blows way way too many operrtunities at valuable profitable situations. Don't do it again.

I understand it's a USA league, but there are already Candaian teams and I would push for more because Hockey, obviously, is HUGE in Canada and it won't hurt to impove realtions with another country, as crazy as that sounds through Hockey.

THis league skrews up too many times, make a good choice.
