The current slate of IIHF teams has a great mix of traditional hockey loving nations and non-traditional nations. From the real world IIHF Men's rankings eleven of the top fourteen teams are already represented showing a strong interest in the teams that normally rank in the first two tiers of international hockey. Yet, there is still enough interest for lower ranked teams like Great Britain, Japan, and unranked Ireland to gain support and success in SHL's IIHF. The highest ranked teams that we don't have are Slovakia and Denmark, both intriguing options but I don't know if either has the pull to compete. I would choose to go in a different direction and go with a lower ranker nation with some extra appeal. Assuming a team is added through expansion and not replacement, the island nation of Iceland would be my first choice. Iceland is home to some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world, including mountains, volcanos, waterfalls, the northern lights, and so much more. It is sure to be a draw for any player interested in exploring nature. Once you include fake Icelandic music duo Fire Saga and the fake hockey team from D2: the Mighty Ducks Iceland's inclusion in a fake international tournament begins to make more sense. Besides, with the elves and Bjork on their side there's no way Iceland will lose.
