Hooray!!! This is GREAT NEWS! I'm a pretty big hockey fan, and while I was sad to see the Blazers fold up their tent, I'm really happy we're getting a AAA-level team. Better quality of play and no ridiculous league rules to promote "parity". It's true that ticket prices will probably be higher, but they won't be hugely so, and I would say the better play will take off some of the edge, especially if this team is able to perform well right away. Every town loves a winning team...I don't think the Denver area would've taken to the Avalanche as quickly as they did, if the incoming team (moved from Quebec City, for those of you who don't remember) hadn't won the Stanley Cup in their first year.
Now if we can just get a AAA-level football team here...oh wait, what am I thinking? We already have one. :-D
