On Tuesday, representatives from Atlanta Spirit announced they had sold the Atlanta Thrashers to True North Sports and Entertainment, who will move the team to Winnipeg, Canada.

While some locals may be unaware that Atlanta had a hockey team in the first place, the Thrashers have accumulated a significant fan base in the metro area, including Kennesaw.

Some local fans spoke out against the Atlanta Spirit organization and discussed the effect the move will have on youth and college hockey in the area, while others said they were simply going to miss the games.
