@Twestern Alright. Texas might be the exeption to the rule. Perhaps it is even the exeption that prompted the NHL to try a southern expansion project. Last I heard Phoenix was a pretty tough sell. A desert should not have a team. @Cheetos: I agree about the national team. If they had a shot at the World cup, then the sport would take off. To get that shot, the team would have to be massively funded and supported. I don't know who would make that investment, it wouldn't be the government that's for sure.
