Speaking of Houston, they just lost their AHL team. The franchise moved to Des Moines, Iowa.
It was mentioned above, but it's worth mentioning again that it wasn't an attendance issue or poor market issue, it was an inability to come to terms with the building operator issue. Houston averaged just under 7,000 fans a game last season, good for 7th in the league. For comparison Hamilton averaged 5,342 and Abbotsford was near league worst at 3,778.
