We need to expend into the future, and why not go for currently not existing locations. But with technology going forward, it will be a matter of time before we have space bases scattered across the milky way where we can play hockey. With one of them being called Orbital Station 1. The Orbital Station 1 Orbiting Death will be the team playing there.

How about the Bismarck Bismarcks of Bismarck, North Dakota. They can enjoy a very German themed branding and have a rivalry with Winnipeg and Minnesota. Nickname, the Ottos.

We should make a team for Manhattan and call it the Manhattan Rage 2 like a sequel. That would be really cool and would cater well to the area.

Denver absolutely needs a team. This whole region is devoid of any team and that needs to change. Bring a team to the front range.

It rather surprising that we don't have any teams in Ohio. A team in ether Cincinnati, Cleveland, or Columbus would be a good addition, as there is a big hockey market there that would be perfect for a team, with me personally suggesting Cincinnati as I love Cincy sports.

I think Green Bay needs a team. The Gamblers aren't much of one and every drunken Wisconsonite needs a place to take his shirt off regardless of the weather.

We should add the Nomads. No home arena, no city they're based in, they just wander the lands in search of quality ice to get freaky on

There's a defunct team from a defunct team called the Thunder Bay Reapers that had immaculate branding. I would bring them to the league because they were beautiful and I miss them.

I honnestly already had my chance to create an expension team and i liked the branding so much im still around with it haha, maybe if i had to create a new one maybe it would be in sherbrooke

There for sure needs to be another dog themed team in the SHL we have the Yukon Malamutes in the J but no dog in the SHL. We do have wolf pack but how sweet would it be to have a team called Massachusetts Mastiffs or something of that nature. A Mastiff is an absolute beast of a guard dog as well and can grow to be 70-120 pounds and a ferocious if they need to be. While dangerous they are cute and cuddly as well. MAKE IT HAPPEN

Oklahoma City. I don't know about the branding, but I like the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA to a reasonable degree, and the city has proven to be a much better sports city than I'd have thought. It'd make a good spot for an SHL team proper.

If we stay in North America for the SHL and SMJHL, I think all the big market already have a team. Same for the IIHF so it's really hard to find a place that would make sense to add to one of those leagues.

I would select the New York New York New Yorkers. Their logo could be an empire state building within a statue of liberty within a state of New York! I just think it’s cool that you could have the same thing three times and it still ends up coherent

The Ohio Rizz Toilets because we need to drive that generation alpha engagement with the league and our lack of Ohio teams is criminal. If anyone makes an Ohio expansion team I'll ask to be exposed in the draft. Just saying.
RE: S79 mPT #2: Expansion Ideas - MuNk22 - 10-24-2024
I don't care what you call them but please let there be an expansion to Wisconsin. Its a big state for hockey and is consistently left out of the picture both in fake and real hockey leagues.
