You'd think the people in LA would be all about the Lakers (and they are) but the Clippers do just fine because there's so many people in that area who want to attend games and the Clipper games are much cheaper. It doesn't matter if its a Maple Leafs town. It'll always be a Maple Leafs town just as LA will always be a Lakers town, but if the other Toronto franchise came in and did well, people would still attend the games because above all, they love hockey. |
Toronto can. It has the population, money, and rabid hockey fans to make it work. But Toronto is alone in that regard.
There isn't another city that already has an NHL team that could handle a second team, and Hamilton is probably the only city without a team that could adequately support one. I seriously doubt Winnipeg could support an NHL team. Nor Halifax nor Quebec City nor London.
