Ice hockey is growing hugely in the uk, so a British team would be amazing. Not London though, that’s so boring! Give it somewhere else to grow in, or maybe a region, in the style of Minnesota or Colorado, like the midlands or one of the countries within the uk, *cough* Scotland *cough*

I'm a little surprised that there isn't an Ohio team yet in any league. There is actually a few cities I'm surprised about. Like why isn't there a New York team either. I'm more interested in an Ohio team to be honest, but a city that big not having a team is strange.

Thank you @Ragnar  for the Sig!

The SHL could definitely expand into Europe. How many teams there would be is anyone's guess, but teams in Stockholm, Helsinki, Moscow, Prague, Zurich, Paris, London, the big cities would definitely be an attractive draw and get some fanfare quite easily.

I would put a team in Washington. Not the Capitol, but the state. It's huge, and there's plenty of cold spaces for it to work. They could have a sweet outdoor kind of arena.

I am not very creative when it comes to this stuff, so I am going to steal a location and branding that I heard about from one of the past expansions. I think it was the Arizona Skinwalkers. I'm pretty indifferent about the location, but I think it's a fun concept. A good artist could probably do some really cool stuff with Skinwalkers.

Thanks to sulovilen for the sigs!

I think expanding to Europe in the SHL or SMJHL would be pretty cool so I’d probably go with a Sweden city because why not

I'm always down for more Canadian teams. They don't have a huge population but Saskatchewan has some die hard sports fans that would love a team to call their own in the big leagues. Give us the Saskatchewan Pirates or something!

thank you amid, swoosh and eni for sigs! <3

I guess you can say I would want an out of this world option. Why not pick another planet and role with it! Perhaps Mars or while it isnt a planet our moon. If we can build a hotel in space I dont see why we can't have a hockey ice rink!?!?

Hockey fan for life. I pack the heat and score the goals!  

Lets put a team in Antarctica, it's a landmass made up primarily of ice - surely that means they'll be able to get lots of practice time in during off-hours.

I absolutely feel like The Moon was robbed in it's attempt to house an IIHF team and we should highly consider making it legitimately happen. At the least consideration for a WJC Moon team should be made.

A league reaching out beyond north-america boundaries bringing up some of the more iconic countries, especially from norther Europe into the mix for them all to brawl over the glory.

Maybe its time Arizona had a stable hockey team there, so lets put a team somewhere in that state and name it something after the indigenous people that live there

         

I would add a new SHL team or two, simply for the fun of it. It's been a long time since the last expansion when Montreal and Philly joined, and with so many untapped markets in North America (Ohio?!?!?!) still out there it would be good to see some additions made to help spice up the league

I think it should stay in NA for the expansion as quite a few markets still available. I'd throw Ottawa into the mix as a hockey crazy market would fit in well with the SHL.

I think we should put another team in Canada; i Think either an SHL team in Newfoundland or Halifax, either that or the deep south, like Louisiana or Alabama. This will help grow the game in the simuulation verse.
