Pro Hockey for Las Vegas

I didn't know this but I guess professional hockey team Phoenix Coyotes are looking for a new home. I guess there have been some sort of ownership problems.

Several cities are currently lobbying for a professional sport team, hockey inparticular.

I think Las Vegas would be an awesome fit for a hockey team. They have no other professional sport team that they can call their own. And hockey is really growing in the United States. With Las Vegas being the melting pot that it has become I think hockey would do great there.

If Vegas hopes to one day land an NFL football team, an NHL team could be the perfect first step. They would prove their attendance capabilities and quiet concerns that there aren’t enough indigenous Las Vegas citizens to support a professional sports team. If the city took to an NHL team, they could surely support baseball and football teams in the future as well. Moving the Coyotes to Las Vegas could result in an incredible amount of profitability and develop a new sports market. Attendance would not be an issue; Las Vegas would know exactly how great an opportunity it could be.

I think moving the Coyotes to Las Vegas would be a great idea and there are plenty of people who would be there to cheer them on.

Even the sound of their new name would be fitting; Las Vegas Coyotes.

It's in the desert and coyotes are found in desert areas.

I bet some people would think it's a crazy idea; a hockey team in the desert?

Anything is possible in this day and age.

Well heck ya... why not have a hockey team in Las Vegas. Isn't Las Vegas the place where anything can happen? Anything is possible?

I think it would be great and I am rooting for Las Vegas to get the team!
