As a hockey enthusiast, I've always wondered if the NHL uses new hockey pucks for every game. After doing some research, I found out that they do indeed use new pucks, but not just one per game. In fact, they typically use around 12-15 pucks per game, ensuring that the players have a fresh and smooth puck to play with at all times. These pucks are kept frozen before the game to reduce bouncing and maintain their quality. So, the next time you watch an NHL game, know that those pucks are as fresh as the ice they're gliding on!
Houston, Texas is the fourth largest city in the United States and it has had teams in all the other major sports leagues. However, it has never had an NHL team. Some of the reasons for this include the city's hot climate, lack of corporate support, and the fact that the city's only professional ice hockey team, the Aeros, were all but forgotten after being moved to Des Moines in 2013. Despite the lack of an NHL team, Houston still has a strong hockey fan base who support the city's minor league team, the Sugar Land Imperials, who play in the Federal Hockey League. With the recent success of the Houston Rockets and the Houston Astros, there is hope that Houston will finally get an NHL team in the near future.
