Anywhere but Montreal. They can't even hold on to a SMJHL franchise, they'd lose their memorabilia to South Carolina before you could say barbecue.

I think the Hall of Fame should be in the most wonderful city on earth, the pinnacle of a hockey town, Cleveland. Some of the Advantages of Cleveland include but are not limited to the price of property isn't crazy expensive compared to most major cities. The cost of living isn't that high either.
It may be unknown but Cleveland is a cultural metropolis. Cleveland is home to the mecca of music, the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. In addition to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland is home to the Cleveland Museum of art. If you ever get the chance to go to Cleveland I recommend it. Ideal times of the year to go to Cleveland are in the summer.
Another culture advantage of Cleveland is that the house from The Christmas story is in Cleveland. Cleveland is also home to a variety of restaurants that are reasonably priced Melt is a great example of one of the many restaurants in the city that is baller. Cleveland is also home to the Drew Carey Show. Their sports teams aren't even entirely the worst. Even the Cleveland Indians are on the up and up.

Cons: The Cleveland Browns are there, the main export is crippling Depression, and lots of potholes and crime.

The SHL hall of fame belongs in an iconic hockey town that loves it's team. But since the SHL is also a big meme, I say we put the hall of fame in Wood Buffalo where it belongs.

The Hall of Fame should be in a location that has meaning to the history of the SHL league. This means the locations in my mind are limited to Calgary, Winnipeg, Wisconsin, Hamilton, Toronto, and West Kendall. Out of these 6 teams, Wisconsin became defunct 2 seasons after the inaugural season, and the West Kendall Platoon moved to Baltimore a couple seasons ago. This I feel pulls both Wisconsin and West Kendall out of the equation for the location of the SHL Hall of Fame, despite West Kendall winning a large number of Challenge Cups in their history.

With 4 spots remaining in Calgary, Winnipeg, Hamilton, and Toronto, I think it would make most sense to put the Hall of Fame with the team that has the most accolades. So first, it seems reasonable to compare the number of Challenge Cup wins between the 4 teams. Calgary has won the cup 8 times in S8, S9, S27, S29, S32, S40, S42, and most recently in S50. Winnipeg has 6 cups of their own winning the inaugural season of the SHL, S1, as well as S7, S19, S25, S37, and S44. Hamilton has been just as good, and even more so recently with their cup wins, winning in S11, S24, S26, S51, S53, and this past season in S56 to round them off with 6 Challenge Cups in franchise history. Lastly, Toronto has only ever won 1 cup in their long tenure in the league in S35.

Just based on cups alone, I think that Toronto is out of the running for the location for the SHL Hall of Fame despite the large population and city. Now, I think the last comparison would probably have to be the local population and the general location. Calgary currently has the largest population at around 1.3 million compared to around 750 thousand in Winnipeg and around 600 thousand in Hamilton. However, Hamilton does have a large population base nearby in Toronto, as well as Hamilton being in a prime location with respect to other SHL teams such as the Toronto North Stars, Buffalo Sabes, and Chicago Syndicate. The Calgary Dragons only really have the Edmonton Blizzard and for Winnipeg it's the Minnesota Monarchs. With that, I think the best spot for the SHL Hall of Fame is... Hamilton!

The Hall of Fame is in Boston, Massachussets. Why might you ask, is it in Boston? because Boston doesn't have a hall of fame yet. Put it in Boston, please.

who writes a ph for a 25 word task

anyways

In my humblest of humble opinions the SHL Hall of Fame should be located inside the gazebo that a drunken JSS ran through, where he managed to end up in the hospital and needed a bunch of stitches. As this is memorialized in the Hamilton hall of fame, it is only fitting that the SHL HoF is here as well given that Hamilton is the best SHL team.

Thanks to JSS for the signature

It Should be in England. Simply for the fact that Hockey was created in England. Even though Professional Hockey was made in Canada, the First recorded history of hockey was in England.

It should be wherever the fuck that Simon t bastard is in France and have it built right on top of his motherfuckin house because he is French bastard

I believe that the Simulation Hockey League Hall of Fame should be located in the city Winnipeg. This is because Winnipeg is central to many Simulation Hockey League teams and is home to one of the oldest Simulation Hockey League franchises.

Well, instead of just turning the Simulation Hockey League Hall of Fame into some lame museum for eternity, why not convert it into a travelling show? It would be a fantastic way to gain attraction towards the Simulation Hockey League through touring and having the Hall of Fame move to temporary exhibits across not just North America, but the entire world!

Think about it. Children who live in countries where sports like soccer or baseball or even volleyball dominate their country’s culture may not see much influence from ice hockey. The idea of playing hockey is rare, or even frowned upon or stigmatized, with parents espousing children to go and and play something as barbaric as volleyball. Enter scene: Little Timmy wants to be a pro hockey player, but his parents think he is delusional. Suddenly, the SHL Hall of Fame stops by Timmy’s hometown, and he begs his parents to take him there. After all, it is free of charge! If it were just a stale old museum in somewhere like Toronto, little Timmy and his family would have to afford tickets to and from Toronto, as well as the general admission tickets for the SHL Hall of Fame. It would require a lot of savings to be able to afford such a trip! Nevertheless, with a free tour like this, Little Timmy’s parents reluctantly agree, and there they take a look at the different artifacts that were brought with them on the tour, including the stick used by Esa Anrikkanen to score their 500th career SHL goal and 1000th career SHL point. Little Timmy stares at the large poster of Anrikkanen that towers over him, and he tells his mother: “Mama, je voudrais être joueur d’hockey”. Even if his mother still believes little Timmy is being a little bit delusional, it may inspire her to buy Little Timmy his first pair of skates. Maybe then she’ll allow him to go play for a youth hockey team an hour away from Little Timmy’s hometown, and eventually she will allow little Timmy to fly out to North American to play for a Simulation Major Junior Hockey League team with the hopes of one day stepping on the ice and the spotlights of a Simulation Hockey League rink.

So in conclusion, don’t just pick one city! Take the Simulation Hockey League Hall of Fame, and all of its artifacts, and move it around the world! Sure, it may be a bit more costly than just setting up a museum in a generic big North American City, but the influence and spread of ice hockey that would come from turning the hall of fame into a touring exhibit would absolutely help to create the next generation of Simulation Hockey League players.

The SHL hall of fame should be in Tannersville, New York. This is simply done to put baseball's hall of fame in Cooperstown, New York not the most random location of the hall of fames. Also there is skiing nearby.

The SHL Hall of Fame should be held in the city of Edmonton, home of the Blizzard

Edmonton has played host to the NHL bubble and it would be an honour if the hall of fame could call Edmonton its new home. Edmonton has been one of the most consistent teams in the SHL and exemplifies what it takes to be a pro dominant player and eventually land yourself in the hall of fame.

There is only one correct awnser and that is Zürich. Why Zürich? Well it's the biggest city in Switzerland and as we all know, Switzerland is neutral so the Hall of Fame would be on neutral ground and so no one would attack anyone who got in the hall of fame so we wont have any debates in the future

***iStegosauruz*** · 12-07-2020, 01:59 AM

This is an easy one. The Hall of Fame should be located in Jurassic Park. Why? Because dinosaurs are cool and that way I can have excuse to be in it.
