The NHL in Kansas City This Autumn
A pre-sale is occurring right now (through 10:00 p.m. Central) for the first NHL game at Kansas City's Sprint Center arena.
Of course, it's a pre-season game on September 22 between the Los Angeles Kings and the St. Louis Blues, so it's not like KC is getting its own hockey team . . . yet.
Whether via relocation or expansion, Kansas City, Missouri, remains near the top of the NHL's short list for franchise consideration. Back in October we discussed the feasibility of an NHL team in Kansas City, in the context of a possible new home for the Predators. This exhibition game seems to be the NHL's way of dipping their big toe in the KC water once again, to see if the temperature is right for hockey there.
