I know its not Hockey but am i correct in that NFL teams go to the city offering the best financial deal? If so then why support them at all, follow the team that has roots in your area, especially minor league teams. British Football clubs (thats soccer to you yanks, and only you lot) are rooted to their town and even non-league teams often get fanatical followings.
The only English league team to up sticks and go to a new town almost went bankrupt by doing so and the supporters went en-masse to follow an absolute minnow team.
