I think there should be a new york team because it's a big city with alot of hockey history irl, I think its criminal there isnt a team there
Add a South Pole team to the IIHF. We need more penguins on skates, that’s marketing GOLD, man, write that down! We can be the next Club Penguin!!
I will always press for an Italy Fed, but it might also be time to open the SHL for international teams like the ISFL did. At the moment the league caters heavily to American users with it's league structure and stream times.
Teams located in the UK, Germany, France etc. would propbably gain a lot of traction.
I think expansion should be into Europe - there is a lot of interest in hockey especially in Northern Europe. We could have a Scandinavia Division with teams in Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Iceland. It's time to start the global expansion of our great league!
i would have to say i would add 2 teams, 1 to TOR because god knows they can handle 2 hockey teams and i think it would make for an awesome rivalry and another team to pittsburgh to create a rivalry for the philly, don't ask me names though i am not that creative.
I think the SHL could maybe use some more teams, but I see no reason to move outside North America yet. Personally, I would like to see a return to Portland for SHL, and you could put a team in DC, Nashville, or Pittsburgh in the east easily.
Less of an expansion and more of a rebranding. But I would rebrand the Malamutes into the Gold Rush with a more Vegas Golden Knight color scheme with black being the main. No hate against the mutes but I just like the idea.
Other than that probably an actual Irish team to the SHL. Realistically speaking I just think we need some more international play outside of the actual tourney.
like in the past I will bring up the Berlin Bombers. Yeah expand the league world wide and start with one team in europe and one in asia like Tokio.
South park should be a team ! I wanna see kenny and the boys skate around and show us whos boss. Man I miss that show. I might even make a graphic for this yet, lol . It looks so funny in my head.
SMJHL has taken many good places to expand the SHL to so we need to think bit out of the box and add Kansas City to the league, could be branded Kansas City Jazz or something
From the very first thought of having a franchise under my own name it would be and always will be something relating to the state of Texas (not the city ) and either bullriding or roughriding
My expansion team would be a new SHL team. The name of the team would simply Team Europe. It would play home matches in all big cities like Stockholm, Helsinki, Prague, Paris and so on. It would be epic.
Definitely the moon should be added to the IIHF. there were already some promising rumblings and things got halted due to logistics (not enough rocket ships) but I think we'll start a GoFundMe to help out
It's time for Global expansion. I would head to the Scandinavian countries or Europe for some additional exposure. This would bring in more viewers in those areas. It would also encourage more young people to take up the sport for expansion.
