Why the heck is there not a team from Hawaii yet? That would be my choice for the next SHL team. The first name that came to mind feels kind of obvious, but sneaky good. Honolulu Punch.

I think as many others its time for Europe to introduce their first team, The Rotterdam Rotten Tomatoes, The team for the redheads, the team for stinky, roughly beaten and probably forgotten talents.

Honestly I think IIHF needs to be completely overhauled anyway. There should be all of the normal nations you see in hockey, then a World team. Making IIHF should be more of an "exclusive" privilege for the top players in the league, not just everyone. For everyone else, there could be some sort of "Summer Series" similar to Da Beauty League in real life.

I think there should be a team added on the equator somewhere. Uganda, Kenya, Congo, India, somewhere on that equator line. Just to see if it would work and how well that team would do.

We need the next team to be outside of North America. It's a fake league so why not get creative when team travel can be ignored. I think we need a Swedish team, from whichever locale HO would agree to.

I like the idea of expanding to Europe. I think the fan base is there to support it and we have a good European user base. However, if I had the choice I would use my Hockey Nation team, the West Virginia Mothmen.

I would probably add the Minnesota Peasants. I think it would be good to have a team that would want to compete hard and rival the Monarchs.

The SHL and SMJHL, should expand east into more countries like Europe and Asia. That would be sick to see, as the only the thing we see of Europe or Asia is in the IIHF.

I would add an expansion team in Virginia or Indiana if I am being honest, likely for the SMJHL. For me, while for the latter Indianapolis would make the most sense I would press for Fort Wayne.

If I had to add another team it would either be in Nashville or in Pittsburgh. I think both are very large markets and would gladly be able to support a team. I think a Pittsburgh team could be a great touch and add an interesting fire in Philadelphia. I would definitely keep the expansion to North America though, I don’t think I would go abroad, it would make the travel a nightmare.

I would put an expansion team for the SMJHL into Texas. It has plenty of large cities to support multiple teams, and this wouldn’t even have to compete with the fans of the existing Texas Renegades team at all.

The team I choose would be the CT Cal Juices. There's already a logo and there really should be another team on the east coast. Hartford did it in the past, why couldn't it do it again?

I think expanding in the SHL to put some teams overseas, either in Europe or Asia could be a cool thing. While it can take some "realism" out of the game, it's also online funsies, and lets see it happen!

I would definitely add Outer Space into the IIHF. There has to be aliens out there that can play hockey right? Or strange beings on this Earth that don't necessarily fit in can all be on the outer space team. You are telling me Base Pack wouldn't have been on the Outer Space team? Get outta here

We're gonna steal the old name of my local baseball team, since they have changed it to the Pit Spitters, horrible name by the way. Introducing: the Traverse City Beach Bums, its kinda fun to say.
