It sounds very expensive just to have an application process heard and the cost of $500million for a franchise does seem quite high to start a hockey team.Also a big risk for whoever finances it. Not many people in the UK are into ice hockey and it doesn't really get much attention but it always looks good on TV.

I have never really watched much Ice Hockey but, when the Winter Olympics are on, i normally catch a couple of games and i really enjoy it. I hope that they get their own team and good luck to them

Do NHL make much money?I don't think the hockey arena would hold more than 15-20,000 fans so maybe they should go for a NFL team. I am with you Bowie and the thought of a ice hockey team in the desert just sounds strange and where would it be situated,it must cost a fortune for prime land/areas of Vegas.
