News Indy Ranks Among Cities for NHL Expansion in the Next Five Years
41
Upvotes
From the article:
- Indianapolis, Indiana
One city with a brief and long-ago hockey history is Indianapolis. It's where Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier's pro careers started in the WHA with the Racers in 1978, before the team was sold to Peter Pocklington and became the Edmonton Oilers. Indianapolis is also a city Frank Seravalli cited a year ago as a potential future NHL site.
Indianapolis has been home to an ECHL team, the Fuel, since 2014, and as the home of the NFL's Colts, NBA's Pacers, and a regular site for the Men's NCAA Basketball Final Four, there's bones there for professional success. Obviously, they would need ownership and investors and with the beefy cost involved for expansion, it would be a huge ask for a mid-size market.

Saw this article from another forum that states that apparently, there's a deal in place to move an ECHL team to Houston once their current "contract" (which I assume means lease) is up.
The question is, who?

Lost to the Walleye, who lost to the Komets, who lost to the Mavericks, who lost to the Everblades.
This, of course, means absolutely nothing, and I'm actually proud of the boys in season 2, but it's the off-season now so we shitpost.
