I would love to see Regina get a team back in the J, I felt that Saskatchewan was a perfect spot for a J franchise, and would love to see them back in the league.

I think avoiding the Steel City for this long is a tragedy that could have been avoided at any stop along the way. Get some nice, tough, blue collar Pittsburgh out there in our league. And the NBA while we're at it.

My player being Italian on the World Team I think the IIHF and the WJC both need Italy teams
Also I would love to see another Canadian team like Edmonton or something

If someone is leaving that call to me they should be removed from any position of power that they have. I do not have the slightest clue as to what leagues may need to be expanded, the math that goes into it, not the gm skills to build or even name a team. Maybe the Wisconsin cheese heads or something because I am very not original.

I'd personally love to see a Vermont team in the East, they never have any representation in these leagues. It's always the big name cities that have the teams.

Adding just 1 team in expansion sounds really strange given that it would almost certainly just throw off the conference alignment, so we'll just pick a few IIHF regions that sort of make sense here if clumped together. Asia and Australia

I think the Reykjavik Reindeer would be a cool team branding. We need expansion towards Europe and the name just rolls off of the tongue. A lot of flying to be done there as it isn't close to anyone!

I really want to see a rivality Ottawa, Gatineau in the SMJHL one day. That will bring back the OHL vs QMJHL teams playing each other. We need the closest proximity for junior players to have the most and intense rivalry possible.

It was always a bit of a joke, and I'm sure it is still told in some locker-rooms but a moon based DOGE team would arguably be the "goodest" team for an expansion, regardless of which branch of league it were to appear in.

Look, i know that the simulation hockey league is a fantasyland in general, but it bothers me a lot that we dont have all of the original 6 cities in the SHL. Primarily, Detroit needs to be promoted from juniors. I also have time for any arguments for rebranding New England and Manhattan to match the NHL as well.

The SHL could use another team in the league. I think staying in North America s the right move, maybe add Mexico City or some other fun places that is not represented in the SHL yet.

We need an Outer Banks team. I think it one of the more unique locations, so would be such a great idea. I think international would be cool as well, so like a London team, but OBX first.
RE: S79 mPT #2: Expansion Ideas - ValorX77 - 10-21-2024
I would love to add an international team to the league and I would like to make it the Kiev Revolution. Ukraine is a tough fighter and would be a great addition to the league.
RE: S79 mPT #2: Expansion Ideas - TheOPSquid - 10-21-2024
I think if the league expands it should be another 2 teams and not just 1 at a time. I think 2 new SHL teams would be the play, letting some lower earning active players make rosters and not be worried about not earning enough TPE to make the team. If we add a couple more teams it would hopefully see a couple more players in the 500-800 TPE range playing in the SHL and not just going completely IA. I think a Vegas team would be nice, maybe an Arizona team now that the Yotes are gone.

I think we should add a team in Oakland since they probably will have no problem staying there for a very long time. Same thing with a team in Phoenix.
