Reply with your team name.

Or honestly why not the Ice Bats? 

Bring it back.

😂 go to Houston we have enough weirdos in Austin already. We don't need anyone else moving here.

I was asked about this last week for Austin. Will be interesting to see what the NHL does.

Austin does not currently have a major four professional franchise. This would knock it down to major three (NFL, MLB, NBA).

Imo, the city of Austin should not have any professional sports franchises.  In this era of college athletics, The University of Texas Longhorns have every professional sport out there besides hockey (they do have a club team though).  Surprised San Antonio was not selected for MLS over Austin.  AUSL is an exception because it's new and is technically in Round Rock and not Austin proper.

Hope it is Houston. 

The Longhorns are the pro team in Austin!
