Tampa Bay is a good example of hockey doing well in what is considered a non traditional market. My biggest problem with a team going to Vegas is that there are large markets being ignored in favour of trying something out. If there were two more teams in Canada and the league saw an opportunity to grow the game I have no problem with it.
Compare tickets for a game in Toronto or Montreal to a game in Florida. I remember being in Florida on March break and you could go see the Panthers for around $30 and you got a drink and hot dog to go with it. I realize there is a lot of money behind this project in Las Vegas but it's the fans that need to be behind it in order to succeed.
