Because not many people want a hockey team around there. That is why they don't, but they do have a minor league team...so maybe someday they will get there

I guess that the NHL feels like they don't have enough of a fan base there for a franchise, but, if that's the case, then why does Atlanta have a team? It wouldn't surprise me, though, if they get one eventually, because the market's a growing one and there would be a heavy interest in a Houston/Dallas Stars rivalry.

Houston should be a consideration after Winnipeg, Quebec City, Halifax, Portland OR and Milwaukee.
And the owners of the Houston Texans originally wanted a hockey franchise there, but couldn't get it so they settled for an NFL team.

The question should be why Houston SHOULD get a NHL team.

They do have a minor league team. The Houston Areos, but I don't think they would have the fan base for an NHL team.

the fans hardly support any pro team here so thats why the nhl won`t ever come here heck the oilers left only to be brought back as tyhe texans ( and are not doing very well fan wise) once the rockets wern`t champs anymore the fan base went down and the astros fans only show up for the playoffs and even then its not a sell out ............. houston is not a storts city

There's talk of a buyer for the Penguins who will move the team to Houston. And now that I know that they don't support their teams this makes me even sadder that the Penguins might be leaving Pittsburgh.

If there is going to be a new team in the league, I think Winnipeg will get it. One team in Texas is enough for a state that doesnt care about the sport

both houston and hartford had wha teams. hartford had an nhl team until pony-tailed jerk karmonos STOLE the whailers. i can only hope the that jerks' splt end-ponytail gets caught under a zamboni! if you recall, gordie, with sons mark and marty played with the aeros, in their wha days. BOTH HOUSTON AND HARTFORD DESERVE NHL TEAMS!

For the same reasons that Dallas, Phoenix, Tampa, Miami and Atlanta shouldnt have teams.
