The moon needs a team. We expand all the leagues to have one lunar team each. The moon bring the iihf, crater city for the shl and the Jr league gets moon dust valley.

I think we should expand to the moon. Someone suggested that not too long ago and I think it's feasible. It's cold enough for a rink because the moon doesn't have an atmosphere, and I think the low gravity would make for an exciting wrinkle in the way the game is played.

The easiest and most deserving city / province to get a SHL expansion team has to be either Vancouver or Kelowna. Yes both have junior teams but they fully deserve SHL representation.

I would not got any other expansion team because all the teams I want are already there! Québec have a team in the SMJHL, Montréal have his team in the SHL and even Québec have a team in IIHF. Can be better than that.

I would like to expand to the North Pole. Call them the North Pole Polar Bears. New SHL team but all players must be drafted from countries above a certain latitude. Meaning, no one born south of Denmark would be able to handle the cold up there. The arena would be built INTO the ice sheet. How about it?

The SHL and maybe even possibly the J need some European and/or Asian teams. Since travel and timezones have no effects on the game and is all make believe, a international league would definitely work. My first entry would be a North Korean team, Pyongyang Penguins.

It feels a little bit like a repeat PT because I'm sure we've had one of those before, but I think a team in Nashville would be nice. Why? There isn't one yet - and I believe we're still not allowed to have teams in Europe which would be my first choice. I'd play for both. But don't ask me about brandings, I'm really bad with this.

Someone please put a team in Ohio. I don’t know how long we’ve gone without an Ohio team in sim leagues across the spectrum but someone just needs to put a team in Ohio so my life can be fulfilled.

I think Quebec should be its own Fed cause it would screw over not only the Canada Fed but also the France Fed. that would be a good April Fools joke for the site

There should be a Halifax team. Halifax loves their Mooseheads and would enjoy having a SHL or SMJHL team. Make it happen. Also give New York a team right now, shouldn't even be a disscussion.

Well getting back into Red Rising and clearly travel isn't an issue in a fictional league so I would want the Mar's Martians hosted on the red planet! its for fun after all!

I think Saskatoon deserves a team in either the SHL or SMJHL because it is a big Canadian hockey city and does not have any other professional sports team in the area to compete with
RE: S79 mPT #2: Expansion Ideas - scudmuffin19 - 10-22-2024
I think a CDMX team would be neat, as an introduction of hockey as a more regular sport option in Latin America would be an interesting idea (and only pheasible with fake hockey, although they may love soccer with fighting).

Even thought this is from another league, I have to go with the Glasgow Black Watch. I went to Glasgow over 40 years ago and had a wonderful time. Plus, 10 years later I worked security at Oakington Barracks outside of Cambridge, England. It was for a Scottish regiment that was deployed to Belize. The Black Watch is a regiment in the British Army and is one of the most decorated regiments they have. So with my love of the city and the history of the Black Watch, why not?

The SHL is stretched pretty wide across the map so it's hard to pick one place that may have a neighboring team nearby. I think a team that could look good with an SHL team would be North Dakota! There is a strong college hockey market there that could develop into a nice SHL home team! Would give MIN another close rival to deal with. If that's no good then let's give a team to Idaho and call them the potatoes. It's time.
