Atlanta lost its hockey team to a Canadian city (again). The Flames left Atlanta for Calgary in 1980 and now the Thrashers are heading to Winnipeg, former home of the Jets. Atlanta is a terrible sports town, and having more teams in Canada is a great thing for the NHL and the sport of hockey. Judging from some of the playoff crowds at the Hawks games this year, maybe the Atlanta ownership group should see if Winnipeg could use a basketball team as well.
