<p>There any type of push in #Seattle to get pro #Hockey team..? You would think with relative closeness to #Canada that #Hockey would be pretty big in the area</p>

</div><div class="indented">Reply - InsideTheBoards - 2/2/16 5:29pm<br><p>I think if the right people were on board to get things rolling, an expansion team could be in Seattle's future.</p>
</div><div class="indented">Reply - InsideTheBoards - 2/2/16 5:30pm<br><p>I know that a lot of the politicians were tossing that around and crunching numbers to get an arena approved for NHL play.</p>
</div><div class="indented">Reply - InsideTheBoards - 2/2/16 5:31pm<br><p>Seattle will have to make due with the Seattle Thunderbirds....</p>
</div><div class="indented">Reply - gnomie - 2/6/16 1:41pm<br><p>I love the Birds. Still fun to watch! And there could be another expansion team in the future, still.</p>
