NHL commissioner Gary Bettman had preliminary discussions about the potential viability of a team in Houston, according to a report by Katie Strang of The Athletic.
Bettman recently met with Tilman Fertitta, owner of the NBA’s Houston Rockets, at NHL headquarters in New York, according to Strang.
“We’re not relocating any clubs right now,” Bettman said, while declining to comment on the meeting. But when asked about the future potential of the city, he responded: “If Houston were to express an interest in having an NHL franchise, under the right circumstances, it’s something we might want to consider.”
