Actually I had talks in Czechia discord about this


(i will be against this on my end)

I will be pulling from Discord directly so the thoughts are all the way formed


3 leagues will have to be something where we rework how the SMJHL Exists
so like, by reworking the SMJHL that will be a ton of work. So then the question goes into how many teams in the SMJHL will be too much
is it 12? is it 16? who knows
but by a certain part I think there has to be a 2nd league inbetween the 2
but it cant be like SHL Teams assigning them, unless there are like only 6 teams in that 2nd league
OR, the 2nd league pulls from the same SMJHL teams... that could work
I think if we up the amount of GP in the SHL will allow that 2nd league to exist
to lets say the 3rd and 4th year of senddowns
so I would say something like

SHL: 24 teams
AHL: 6 Teams
SMJHL: 18 Teams
but with lets say a roster of 18 people per team that is 864 users/players in the league
we have about 400 active users, and I think we have like 500-550 players in the league?

right now with 18 SHL teams and 12 SMJHL teams we have 30 teams right now

So for another league it would have to be a small league, or we rework the SMJHL

I was going to say whats the point in the SHL and the SMJHL where you want to create a 2nd league instead of keep on expanding the SMJHL
it could be
SHL: 20
AHL: 4
SMJHL: 12


In the end, the main goal is to get to the SHL, and it should be 3-4 seasons. So if you make the SMJHL your first 2 seasons(a lot of rework of how the league is structured), and then your SHL team assigns you to an "AHL" level team, but then it goes into the #of teams problem.
