Atlanta Thrashers
The Atlanta Thrashers were a NHL ice hockey team. The team played in Atlanta, Georgia at Phillips Arena. They only made the playoffs once in their existence. On May 31, 2011, investors named True North Sports and Entertainment purchased the Atlanta Thrashers and are supposedly moving them back to Winnipeg, Manitoba, if the sale is approved by the NHL Board of Governors.[1] The sale was approved by the National Hockey League on June 21, 2011[2].
