For the SHL's first SMJJHL team (Simulation Major Junior Junior Hockey League) team, I am proposing to bring a team to the Carolinas. The NHL's Hurricanes' are starting to build a formidable core with their youth, and their AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers, recently won the AHL's Calder Cup, so it's evidence that hockey can thrive in a market dominated by football. The team will be the St. Louis Scarecrows' SMJHL affiliate and will also be affiliated with the New Orleans Specters of the SHL. As for the team name, I'm thinking of calling them the Carolina Reapers to tie in with the ghostly theme of the Specters' branding (and to tie in to the infamous pepper.) In terms of a management team, I will be looking for a previous SMJHL GM to take over the head GM spot of the team. However, if I am unable to find a former GM, maybe I'll step into the GM's office to give it a shot for myself.
