5. The SHL needs to stop playing around and just host the playoffs on the moon. Just one time will turn the moon into an SHL frenzy, with the expansion bringing an intergalatic appeal that would be impossible to ignore. Just image that untapped potential. I know the cost of getting gravity and ice, and an arena... I mean it will cost a lot. But Luke has a billion dollars, that is "send shit to space" terrority. If not the moon, the the next best thing would be Ohio. They deserve a team, they should have a team, and the fact that they don't is a gripe I will not drop! Ohio is full of hockey loving fans and they should have better to watch than the NHL and those sad Columbus Blue Jackets. They deserve some great SHL or at least Jr league hockey! Bring the PUCK back to Ohio for the love of god! (150+)

12: the IIHF is a very interesting place, as a lot of teams have been growing stronger and stronger. With that being said, I think this year the top 4 could be just about anybody! I think Latvia has a very solid squad who is getting just at the prime for the right group of players, whereas Canada always has a great core and compliments them nicely with some new blood. Switzerland might be a little past their prime, but still not to be overlooked by any means, and Czechia is getting to a peak. Last year Czechia ended the round robin in first place, which we have NEVER done before in the history that I could find. With that being said, my only hope is that Czechia can win when it matters at the end. Hopefully we have grown enough TPE and can get the right lines out to really be successful and hopefully have a great tournament. If I had to answer who would be out, I think Switzerland, but honestly every team looks really good, so it is really hard to tell. (150+)
