Sorry Vegas, Detroit isn't giving up the Hockeytown title anytime soon.

According to a study released by the personal finance website Wallethub on Wednesday, June 6, the Motor City is the second-best place for hockey fans in the United States. It trails only Boston, according to Wallethub.

To arrive at its rankings, a panel of sports experts from around the U.S. ranked 73 U.S. cities based on 21 key indicators of a good hockey city including ticket prices, stadium capacity and performance level of each city's teams.

Detroit, which is obviously bolstered by the Detroit Red Wings and their 11 Stanley Cups, finished No. 1 in the NHL rank.

The category considered number of NHL teams, performance of the teams, number of Stanley Cups, number of division championships, number of Hall of Fame coaches, franchise value, average ticket price, fan engagement, number of coaches in the past 10 seasons, stadium, capacity, attendance and popularity.

It will come as little surprise to Red Wings fans that Detroit fared well in all the above. Detroit was ranked 56th in the NCAA rank, which is much lower down the list.

However, Michigan is home to a slew of Division 1 hockey teams and those cities also appeared on the list and fared much better in the NCAA rankings.

Among them were: Ann Arbor (Michigan, 24 overall), Houghton (Michigan Tech, 31), Big Rapids (Ferris State, 33), Sault Ste. Marie (Lake Superior State, 40), East Lansing (Michigan State, 49), Marquette (Northern Michigan, 53) and Kalamazoo (Western Michigan, 72)

Detroit was ranked No. 5 in highest fan engagement in 2018 despite having a team finish in the bottom 10 of the standings. The home of Little Caesars Arena also has one of the highest average ticket prices for NHL games, according to Wallethub.

Las Vegas, by the way, came in 18th place. Not too shabby for a city with a first-year franchise.
