S59 mPT #1 Expansion City

I love it here in Hamilton, but if an expansion team shows up in Montreal, I'd be very tempted to try it out. Great city that had an SMJHL team, but it's only right that they are finally given the SHL team they deserve.

I really think a Montreal team would be a good idea for a new expansion GM, and it would definitely be a team I'd love to play for.

I think a team in New York would be great for the league because there's a lot of people who loves hockey and they are rich.

Being the captain of Toronto, it goes without saying nothing can tear me away from this franchise. But if there was a team called the Brown Bears, I'd at least be intrigued. Maybe Toronto could just switch their branding to the Brown Bears.

Redneck hockey is severely underated. In my D2 beer league (some of the lowest level hockey out there) you have players fighting over goals and all sorts of petty shit. Even in Alabama there's a cult following of hockey and alcohol. That's why the Alabama Wife Beaters should be the next team.

The only way that Patrick Shepherd would willingly leave Baltimore for an expansion team would be if a team was added close to his home town in Ohio. A team in Dayton, Columbus, or Cincinnati would be able to draw his attention and make having a chance to live closer to family a real draw.

Thank you @Ragnar  for the Sig!

I'll start by saying that Rhys Pritchard is very happy in Toronto. However, it is an unfortunate reality that Toronto is beginning to bump up against cap problems and the reality of expansion coming up offers a possible solution. Rhys is attached to the team and fans in Toronto but the city itself exists in Canada and Canada is a bit cold for Pritchard. A city in a place like Texas, Florida, Tennessee or Kentucky would be of interest to Rhys. Given his growing love for the world of the American Spirit, it seems that Bourbon country might be just the place for the Toronto winger. If an expansion team were to show up in Louisville or Lexington Kentucky, Rhys might just have to have a hard conversation with Toronto management about leaving him unprotected in the expansion draft.

Honolulu Wave Riders - If this team ever happens, I would request a trade from my team, and hope the new coach of the team puts me as captain of the team until I retire. I would literally embody the team name and live it out each day by riding waves before and/or after each practice and game.

The only expansion team that could make me put down my GM badge and hop teams is if we get a team in Sweden. More specifically, Stockholm. The main reason is, of course, because that's where I'm from originally. I don't have any overwhelmingly strong bonds to any location in the US or Canada yet. At least nothing strong enough that'd make me leave New England.

When it comes to branding it's tough. I'm not a very creative soul. The branding would have to be pretty neutral to Stockholm and Sweden in general to work well and properly represent the country/city. As this would definitely be the only Swedish team to be allowed in our league. So of course, being as uncreative as I am. The main colors would be blue and yellow.

When it comes to the name. Well, being based in Stockholm makes it easy enough to decide on the location part of the name. But then we need something that represents Swedes no matter where they're from. I looked at my own player and suddenly it clicked. There's one team name that would bring all Swedes together. Even if the team itself was located in Stockholm. I present to you the...

I think it is surprising that the capital of both Canada and USA, Ottawa and Washington, do not have SHL teams. I think it would be cool to have teams in both of those cities, but it would still not really pull me to leave my current team if im being honest.

expand to Mexico City baby! and see all these pale players get tans for the first time in their life! Plus the glorious food and wonderful people and I want to see the Matadors in the SHL. ViVa La Matadors!

Brilliant red with gold accents would just be the chef's kiss of uniforms. Oh, how beautiful and glorious I would feel skating around in that uni. I would jump on that ship in a second for sure!

I think this answers the question...I should have read other answers first....

I’m not sure I have any such pet peeve branding that would pry me away from my current Texas team, even if I do think their jerseys could use just a liiiiittle bit more color... at least somewhere... so they at least wouldn’t always make me question if my screen had suddenly gone monochrome? But speaking about expansion team brandings, I have to say that I really like the branding of the Atlanta Inferno from the last expansion. The color schemes, logos and jersey designs are all hot as hell, in my opinion!

After 69 shots on net with still no SHL goals to show for it, even the opposition started to feel so sorry for Lemo, that they decided to help him out :D
- Bad pass by Jack Klompus, he gave it right to Lemo Pihl.
- Lemo Pihl rips it to the net...
- Lemo Pihl will find the empty net, that should do it!

At this point, I don't know that a pack of wolves could tear me away from my fellow old timers in Calgary. That being said, if the Seattle Riot came back around (or a team based in Tokyo *cough*) I think I'd be packing my shit, as Mike Commodore would say.

Well tops of my list would have been a PROPER Miami Vice!

Sadly thats not about to happen as that failiure of an organization in Tampa(Dating back to their time as the Seattle Riot in the S40s) Didn't half cook the idea and make a bad go of it too, we wont get that now as they basically gatekeep it with the colour scheme. If Miami Vice sounded so damn cool that you needed to have it why the fuck didnt you just relocate.
