Host an NHL exhibition game at the Toyota Center


Host an NHL exhibition game at the Toyota Center
The Issue
Houston, known for its diversity and passion in sports, has all the makings of a great hockey town. With a deep-rooted history in ice hockey that has seen legends like Gordie and Mark Howe grace our ice, the time has come to rekindle that legacy. Imagine thrilling NHL action at the Toyota Center - this isn't just a dream, it's a call to prove our place in the hockey world! For years, Houstonians have shown their love for hockey through support for local teams and burgeoning interest in the sport. Yet, despite the multiple championships and historic moments hosted by our Toyota Center, we are yet to see an NHL exhibition game that could spark a renewed fascination and wider appreciation for hockey in our community. Inviting two NHL teams for an exhibition game would not only boost our local economy by attracting visitors and media but also provide a chance for our youth and fans to witness the highest level of professional hockey firsthand. Other cities have hosted similar games with great success, highlighting a growing fan base and vibrant community spirit often overlooked in southern states. We believe that Houston deserves the opportunity to witness NHL caliber talent. Let's make this happen and showcase our city's enthusiasm and love for hockey. By bringing an NHL exhibition game to the Toyota Center, we have the chance to inspire future generations and create unforgettable memories for all. Join us, and let’s make history by putting our requests forward to the NHL and local authorities. Sign this petition to bring the excitement and prestige of an NHL exhibition game to Houston's very own Toyota Center. Your support can make this dream a reality! Please sign and share this petition to rally support from hockey fans and community leaders alike.
