NHL Expansion: Three new cities that should get a team and main reason why
1. Houston, Texas
Why?
-
Top 10 largest U.S. market without an NHL team
-
A ready-made arena (Toyota Center)
-
Strong ownership interest already confirmed
-
Huge sports market — Astros, Rockets, Texans show fans spend money
-
Natural rivalry potential with Dallas Stars
Houston is the most “NHL-ready” city in North America. The league wants deeper roots in the southern U.S., and Houston checks every box.
2. Quebec City, Quebec
Why?
-
Extremely passionate fanbase
-
NHL-ready arena: Videotron Centre
-
Historic value — Nordiques nostalgia = instant merch and ticket sales
-
Government + corporate support already in place
Quebec City brings the same energy Winnipeg did when the Jets returned — only bigger. The rivalry with Montreal would be massive.
3. Salt Lake City, Utah
Why?
-
Billionaire owner Ryan Smith has actively pushed for a team
-
Temporary arena + long-term NHL venue already planned
-
Strong youth hockey growth
-
Ideal West Coast travel partner for Vegas, Arizona (if they stay), and Colorado
Salt Lake City is already being scouted heavily. They’re aggressive, organized, and have the money — the NHL loves that.
