St. Louis Scarecrows have the best home ice advantage. If you are here, you can see a lot of hockey fans and all this stuff. This is great place to play hockey.

I'd say the Winnipeg Jets have a pretty big home ice advantage because every time the opposing team has the puck in the offensive zone, the arena plays the loud noises of fighter jets which makes it impossible for anyone to do anything on the ice, let alone hear their teammates.

I think you have to go with a Canadian team with a strong history of winning for this one. Canadian fans are just more rabid, it's a fact (which as an American, saddens me, we gotta pick up the slack).

That means either Calgary, Edmonton, or Hamilton. Since Hamilton's relevance is more of a recent thing we'll rule them out. Between Calgary and Edmonton I think that Calgary has won more in the past. They've just been good for so long, there's no way their fans aren't the best in the league. So based on that, I think Calgary has the biggest home ice advantage.

New England has the best home ice advantage, and honestly, it is quite unfair. Firstly, they don't actually have fans. Their GM sends out his old mafia men to kidnap poor citizens, and bring them to every home and away game they play. On top of that, every visiting team has to go through a labyrinth just to get to their locker room, then again to get onto the ice. That is why teams barely play in New England, and just forfeit. Although, the gun to the opposing GM's head might be doing the trick as well.

New England has the best home ice advantage because it's an arena filled with fans, but with dogs. No team ever expects to be barked at on the ice.

The Tampa Bay Barracuda have the strongest home ice advantage because of their intimidating arena chant, with the fans bringing their arms together to simulate a barracuda biting. Chomp Chomp!

They Syndicate, obviously. The Syndicate is very good at making people disappear in their hometown of Chicago. Either that or the star opposing player mysteriously comes down with the "flu" right before the game.

Its really tough to decide which team has the best atmospehere in their stadium in the SMJHL, but the Whalers have free glizzys on Thursdays so I think they probably win.

I feel like Chicago would have a decent home ice advantage. Rumor has it a shady figure occasionally threatens opposing teams to perhaps not play their bust or they may suffer a non hockey related injury.

The Texas Renegades have the best home ice advantage in the SHL. I'm not going to look up the stats, but the Renes had a crazy home record in S54 which was a big reason why they nearly made the playoffs.

I would argue that the SMJHL team that has the greatest home advantage is the Detroit Falcons. As much as it pains me as a player that has never been able to be on the ice for the squad. The team has had so much success that they pack the building nightly. There are always scalpers out on the street in the dozens selling tickets and by the time puck drops they're usually sold out. Shows that the local fans are hungry to see their team. The fans are LOUD and know how to get rowdy during the right moments of the game.

They boo the opposing goaltender, they hurl curse words at opposing players, and there is never an empty seat in the house. I hate playing in Detroit and simultaneously feel jealous of the support the Falcons players receive. Don't get me wrong, Vancouver has some amazing fans and they support us very well. But Detroit is on a whole other level with their fan support. Crazy people, crazy fans. No wonder the team does so well at home. Support like that would make you feel unstoppable.

The Vancouver Whalers obviously have the most significant home ice advantage because every team that comes here is disturbed by the whale themed emojis that are near the center rink.

Even though they are new to the league, it's pretty clear that Nevada has the best home ice advantage in the SJHML. There's so much distraction in Vegas. From the flashing lights and bells and whistles, to food, music and a ton of good looking men and women walking around, visiting teams are going to have a really hard time focusing on the task at hand. As the Battleborn get more and more entrenched in the local community it's going to get harder and harder. Road games in Vegas are going to be a test of every teams focus and professionalism.

In Calgary they have the best home ice advantage because they have the most beautiful women in North America. The Dragons are known for sending teams of massage therapists to opposing teams hotels the night before big games. Lots of times these massages go on all night and the other teams players are too exhausted the next day to give it their all.

Any team that plays in Kelowna against the Knights has the home ice advantage. This is because the Kelowna goalie Peter Ramsey is a block of Swiss cheese and you can guarantee at least 3 goals against him.
