Houston has 21 Fortune 500 HQs, the 5th largest population in the US, the 4th highest per capita GDP and the 8th largest DMA. Houston has an NHL ready arena which is desperate for a 2nd tenant. Ottawa is a government town with low corporate support, a small DMA and an arena 30 KM from downtown with no mass transit options.
It’s not a fair fight.
Having money does not equal having an interest in hockey, or a will to invest in it.
Give it up. If Houston had wanted a team, they could've easily gotten once over the last three expansion cycles, and didn't.
