Ducks and Kings drew 17,000+ in London a few years ago for a meaningless pre-season game between two American clubs.

If there was an established UK team playing league matches, no reason why they couldn't do that on a more regular basis (no guarantees that they woud either, but they probably have a better chance of sustaining that than St Petersberg, Florida does).
