The Atlanta Thrashers are one of the most exciting teams to watch this season in the NHL.  With the best season in franchise history last year, finishing first in their division and making the playoff for the first time, the Atlanta Thrashers look to set new team record this year and make a serious run at the Cup.  To watch an Atlanta game is to be a part of a young franchise’s exciting history.

The Atlanta Thrashers play in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL).  The team was formed in 1999, and brought hockey back to Atlanta since the Flames left for Calgary, Alberta in 1980 to become the Calgary Flames.  The team’s short history was marred by a car accident injuring one star player and killing another in 2003.   The Atlanta Thrashers have managed to improve each season, and has made some big trades to bring goal scorers on board.  Look for the Atlanta Thrashers to become a real Stanley Cup contender this year.

The Atlanta Thrashers play their home games at Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA.  The arena was opened in 1999 and holds nearly 19,000.  The layout of Philips Arena is unusual in that the luxury boxes and club seating are situated on only one side of the arena, allowing more general admission seats to be closer to the ice.  No matter where your seats at Philips Area are, you’re going to have a great view of the game.  Buy Atlanta Thrashers tickets and watch one of the NHL’s youngest franchises fight to bring their team to the top of the Eastern Conference!
