6. Well, I think it would be an easy transition for Andrade La Sombra to get started in the world of professional wrestling. After coming from an intense pro wrestling family, especially as he learned the ways of his father in the early years, it would be a simple transition. He’s already kept his body in top form because of the intense training of hockey, especially in his dedication to becoming a speedster. The cardio and strength are easy to come by in the ways of the wrestling world. However, not being related to hockey is a bit of a stretch; both involve showmanship sometimes as well as strength of will and determination. Plus, one can help train for the other in quite a few ways, especially in the ways of stamina and endurance. La Sombra likes to take the professional wrestling excursions during the offseason quite often, letting his body and mind strengthen over the course of those precious few weeks.

11. I personally believe there’s so many untapped markets for hockey that the SHL can really look to branch into. To have a giant spectacle of a hockey game in a market like South America, or even in the Asian markets. The idea of bringing the SHL to a market that previously lost its teams, with the rebrands that have happened over the years, could really help to revitalize that market. Plus, we can keep in mind the recent expansion a few seasons ago, allowing those markets to truly experience the spectacle of a Challenge Cup or Four Star Cup series. Spectators from all around the world, from veteran, retired players to those who are seeing the SHL and SMJHL for the very first time, could feel their passion return to the ice, finding ways to contribute to the leagues. To have games outside of the current team's markets could also bring in the idea for expansions. There are many leagues throughout sports that have expanded to markets some might not expect. For instance, I hear in the football leagues, they have a team centered directly in Japan; a league fully based on what most consider an American sport! Why can't hockey be just as inclusive to many different lands here on our wonderful Earth? And maybe, even past it...
