As a hockey fan, I was very disappointed when you guys didn't get the St. Louis Blues, back in the early 1980's. GoodDay (talk) 16:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- !! We were up for an NHL team? Whoa, I didn't even know that. It's a bit of a mystery to me why we don't have one though. The Saskatoon Blades (WHL) almost always have a higher attendance than the Oilers do. But then I guess price point comes into the picture. If we raise ticket prices (and we'd have to in order to pay an NHL team) then less people would naturally attend. Look at Winnipeg. If they can't support an NHL team what hope do we have, with 1/3 the number of people:( (but then, why can Edmonton support a team? They have about the same population). Still, it would be nice.Gopher65 (talk) 16:28, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- And then there was talk of an NHL team in Hamilton, Ontario (pop.: 504,559)! Given the proximity to both Toronto and Buffalo, it might of worked, but Bettman put a swift end to all that. Seems, though, that population and financial support doesn't actually decide whether or not a team gets placed somewhere; it's all politics, politics, politics. --G2bambino (talk) 17:40, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Yep, it's politics. GoodDay (talk) 17:46, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- I haven't the slightest clue, as to how to determine that. Only the Administrators can do that. GoodDay (talk) 20:06, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello there, I'm sure you would understand my Irish accent, if I talked slowly! :) Joe Deagan (talk) 01:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
