I wasn't familiar with Tampa's ownership woe's. I've always looked at the Lightning as an example of hockey working in the South. And I did enjoy seeing Dave Anderchuck win his cup there.
The Ice Gators actually isn't a bad name. The New Orleans Pelicans should consider changing their name to the Gators. I've never liked Pelicans as a name for a sports team. Anyways, great example of hockey not working in a non-traditional market.
