Editor's Note: This is a post that has been in the works for over a year. The timing is right now for it to be completed. Hopefully it adds to the NHL expansion discussion. It's a very long post, but there is a lot of information to cover to appropriately present the case for Houston as an NHL city. I hope you enjoy.
Houston is a big diverse city. It has flaws like any place. Some would argue it has more strikes against it than advantages, but the size and diversity of the city make it an ideal location for all major North American professional sports.
