Houston NHL Arena Talk Redux

In this episode of Mission Control: Houston’s Hockey Podcast, Savage reacts to Bettman’s CNBC interview, confirming the NHL’s plan to expand by two teams with a price tag “starting with a 2” — and unpacks what that really means for Houston. We break down Olympic arena drama in Milan (spoiler: it’s a complete s-show), why ice size could shake up the tourney, and revisit the Houston arena question with new user-suggested sites. Savage obsesses more about where a Houston NHL team might thrive — and why we still haven’t heard a peep from Friedkin. Plus: local events and a reminder for my students to do their homework.00:00 - The CNBC interview03:23 - Olympic Hockey Cluster-Eff05:30 - More Houston NHL Arena Talk21:54 - Why Haven't We Heard Anything?27:13 - Houston Hockey CalendarFollow on X! https://x.com/MCHockeyPodcastAdd on Discord - @MCHockeyPodcastThe NHL isn't in Houston - but the Hockey Fans Are!If you've been obsessing over every rumor about a potential NHL hockey franchise in Houston, you've found your community.
