No doubt it must Montreal! City that had most dramatic story of SHL (actually SMJHL but anyway). First franchise had huge success and amazing name "Montreal Impact" no mythology or animal name on team is great perspective in my opinion. More enjoyable. Also logo was simple but enough to admire. Also next franchise - "Montreal Militia" was also good franchise in my opinion but Impact was more crushing, huh get it? Also if my data survey is correct, then Montreal 3rd biggest hockey city (after Toronto #1 and Boston #2 but who would want put Hall Of Fame in America?)
