Affiliation is a great idea because teams are just becoming too filled with active players to get very good minutes for everyone. I also believe that affiliates should always be close to their big league team for obvious reasons of travel and the quick turn around if a player is injured. That’s why I would keep my affiliate team right here in Minnesota. But instead of the generic Minnesota name, like every other professional sports team here, we will actually give them a city in the great state. Welcome, The Saint Paul Lake Monsters. Obviously Minnesota is really known for all the Lakes surrounding it, so what a better way then naming the team Lake Monsters. I definitely think I would be a great candidate to manage the team because A, I have experience managing an SMJHL team, but B, and definitely the more important point, nobody is really going to care about this league, so when I run the team into the ground, no one will care that much.
