If the SHL has zero people banging the "no non-North American teams" drum, I'm dead. I've never been in a position to officially oppose it, but I voice my displeasure each time.

I also constantly speak with disgust that we have no team in Ohio: 7th largest state by population, three top 40 metro areas, and Columbus itself is the 14th largest US city. It's a no brainer--go to Ohio!
