Wisconsin already has the fan support

Since I have been following hockey, I have always wondered why Milwaukee and Seattle have no professional hockey teams. We need some southern teams to move to those cities when they realize that there is no viability in the south.

Why put a team in a place where people already love hockey? Put a team in a place where no one knows hockey, let them learn the game, and spread the joy!
And I also agree with TheOnlyBeldin. The NHL isn't as big as the college game in Wisconsin. Sorry.

Wisconsin has the same problem that Minnesota has; youth hockey up to the collegiate level is so big there that for whatever reason, there isn't a lot of support for an NHL team.

They may have the fan support, but do they have an arena? Do they have a major business ready to set up shop in a smaller city compared to Kansas City or Houston? Unfortunately it isn't just about fan support, but also the size of the market.

Maybe take the Panthers out of Flordia not the Lightning. I dont see it happening anytime soon. Sorry i think Wisconsin deserves a team but nothing you can do. Maybe soon though

Yes, Milwaukee should have a team and they can play in the Bradley center or wherver the Bucks play now. They are closer to Canada by a longshot compared to these teams in the south, makes more sense.

I'd be happy to see Wisconsin get a team, but you are not taking my Phoenix Coyotes.
What would the team be called?
The Packers?
The Favres?
The Lambeaus?
The Cheddar?

Yes. Cities that support hockey should get it and deserving of a hockey team than cities that doesn't care about hockey.
