Non NHL markets bolded, granted some like Hartford and others probably get Bruins, etc... but there are a lot of markets there like Seattle where hockey just isn't available and that is the problem. If there were 3-5 games a week in those markets I could see people getting attached to the sports, but when people have to activly search for it they probably wont.

I was going to make a post where I set aside the non-NHL markets but I'm glad someone already did it. Milwaukee? Interesting. Then in 10-20, kindof a who's who of cities that have either had a team or might want a team, for the most part.
