The NHL's expansion in 2010 brought two new teams to a league that many already thought was overloaded; the Halifax Scorpions and the Las Vegas Chill. Of the two, the league was most surprised by the Chill, but the city of Las Vegas was ecstatic. They were one of the only major US cities without a pro sports team, and now they had one. Most citizens don't particularly understand the game, but they're just thrilled to have a professional sports team in their city, and as such, Chill tickets sold out almost every night for their first season, even though they failed to make the playoffs. Can hockey thrive in the desert, or will this just be another failed experiment conducted by NHL executives?
