I’m a Brit and the whole ‘relocation’ thing has always been a bit fascinating to me. Totally understand why teams move, and I totally understand why fans hate it, but I’ve never really been sure on what the etiquette is for fans of teams who have moved on.

    I moved and I still support my old team (Sharks). Though with my team being a basement team, I have been rooting for the closest team to me (Stars).

    If the Sharks moved from San Jose… I’m not sure. The whole team is completely different than just a couple of years ago anyway. I still feel like San Jose is “home” to me. It depends on where they moved to. If they moved to Houston, I would be fully on board. They would (barely) be the closest team to me anyway, as I live about halfway between Dallas and Houston. But if they moved to like Salt Lake City or Quebec? Idk. I can’t say for sure. It would certainly be devastating, and I would need to do some self-reflecting to know for sure. I might just jump over to the Stars full time.
