As you may or may not be aware, new Rockets Owner Tilman Fertitta has expressed interest in bringing an NHL franchise to Houston. Awesome right!! We would like to get ahead of this by starting a petition to show our support. We already have a strong hockey community in Houston and the addition of an NHL team would only add to that. Looking at the model Dallas has laid out and proven that hockey can be very successful in Texas, we can do the same in Houston. Since the Stars moved to Dallas 25 years ago youth hockey has exploded in Dallas. They have far more kids enrolled in minor hockey and far better facilities than we do. With the addition of an NHL team, Houston could follow suit and grow the game here.

We may think we are a long way away from anything concrete happening but if we can show Tilman that there is a large demand for NHL hockey in Houston he might be that much more inclined to pursue a franchise sooner rather than later. As he stated in his press conference when asked about acquiring an NHL team, “Will we be aggressive? Yes. That’s my nature.”

First and foremost, PLEASE sign the petition to demonstrate your support in bringing NHL hockey to Houston!!

And to take it one step further, although not the primary objective of this petition, IF you are interested, if you can, please indicate if you would go to any or many of the games and/or identify the number of seats you might be interested in for season tickets if bringing NHL hockey to Houston is something that you are passionate about!!

Please pass this on to anyone else you think would be interested.

Thanks!!...NHL Hockey in Houston starts at the grass roots, with you and your friends building the hockey community. It starts here and now! PLEASE TAKE ONE MINUTE OF YOUR TIME TO SIGN THE PETITION TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR NHL HOCKEY IN HOUSTON! Don’t leave it to others and pass on this opportunity to show your support, every single signature will add up!
