Miami is an awful sports town in many respects, and it has no business hosting a professional franchise in a cold-weather sport like ice hockey.

- It's hush-hush and I can't name names, but let's say that there's a senior citizens' community in a certain state that's in the market for a hockey team.

- The Chiefs?

- Actually, it's Florida.

- They're getting a bunch of old geezers down there from the northeast.

- And what do you think those old geezers really miss in Florida?

- I think there are a lot of shysters in Florida.

- Hockey. Their own team. A Saturday night game.

- Hell, those poor old people, they gotta have something to root for.

Good point. Even the once popular Jai Lai is on the skids.

The Panthers are based in Coral Springs, FL (an hour and 1/2 from Miami) at the Florida Panthers IceDen and consider themselves as a “Florida” team...
Not a “Miami” team...
