TORONTO -- The owner of the NBA's Rockets has expressed interest in bringing an NHL franchise to Houston.
Tilman Fertitta posted on his verified Twitter account Thursday that he would be open to the possibility of acquiring an NHL team. He stressed it must be a deal that works for all parties concerned.
"As I've mentioned before, I'm very interested in the possibility of bringing the NHL to Houston, but it will have to be a deal that works for my organization, the city, fans of the NHL throughout the region and the NHL Board of Governors," said Fertitta, who bought the Rockets in September.
