The Hamilton Steelhawks were easily the best team to not make the finals, after being upset in the semifinals by their division rival in Buffalo. Their roster was loaded top to bottom - as evident by two of their players likely being top 5 or 7 picks in the expansion draft as well as having a disgusting top end consisting of two likely first team all pros in 100 point scorer Theo Morgan and his setup man Aaron Wilson. This team handily won 56 games, and added on an OTL to rack up an insane 113 points in the hardest division in the league, them not being in the finals is a monumental disappointment.

Some teams like Manhattan and Los Angeles rack up the celebrity fans like nobody's business, but one standout celebrity fandom is the love that the rap duo Outkast has for the Atlanta Inferno. When they were founded they teamed up to produce a goal horn for the arena as well as some hockey related streetwear inspired by Atlanta's history and rap scene. You can frequently find Andre 3000 in the first row behind the Atlanta bench with some guests all having a laugh with the assistant coach on TV timeouts. Their presence has definitely elevated the sport for the southern city and it's been rewarding for both sides on the business end as well.

a. Both teams have remarkably similar levels of offensive firepower, and relevant. both top lines produced about the same, though both on roster pages and on the stat sheet I'd lean Buffalo. They have a slightly better 2nd line and scored 30 more goals this season which borders between somewhat relevant and very relevant (53 words)
b. Texas absolutely has the bigger chip on their shoulder. They've gone the last few seasons with the league as a whole not thinking they were good enough, while Buffalo has been competing with the best of them. Losses hurt, but the opinions of the league sting more after a few seasons. (51 words)
c. While I don't like Buffalo's much in both color and theme, I think it's notably above the Renegades. The greyscale theme and hockey stick logos both don't do it for me, and Buffalo's jerseys and logo design are both good even if the material to work from doesn't hit for me. (51 words)
d. Having spent weekends in both already, I'm inclined to choose Dallas for the city, but it's entirely a weather dependent bit. I can deal with summer, but Texas summer is rough, and the same goes for Winter. In the spring I'd lean Dallas but would go to either pretty happily compared to some other cities. (55 words)
