While i have no real stake or opinion on expansion teams i have always loved the idea of the Rhode island Road Hogs. Something about boars on motorcycles makes the branding so good. Id buy that shirt.

I think that expansion is amazing but the drama of regression is more cool. I think we should first regress a team and then get all of that noise and then expand twice to make it way more chaotic. Regressing team is chosen by coin flip.

As a Canadian, I always feel there is always room for another Canadian team. I know we already have a solid representation throughout the two leagues, but there is definitely room for more. Perhaps another easy coast team, maybe the Prince Edward Islanders?

I think we should have an atlantis team to be more welcoming to our eventual sea people friends that will soon rise up from the sea and give us access to their watermancer technology transporting us into an age of peace and prosperity

I think that we should put a team in Tennessee in either SHL or SMJHL just for the fact I want to critique the branding to a high degree being a TN native.
If I could add any expansion team, I'd probably pick a random funny place. Like Bad Axe, Michigan and call them the Lumbermen, or the Anaconda, Montana Anacondas.

At least on my last player, I really would have liked to see a Danish IIHF federation. As far as team locations, I think for SMJHL they could do with a bit more of a small town focus, places like Prince George or Lethbridge could make returns, or new locations like Sudbury, Moncton, Rochester, Syracuse, etc.

SMJHL needs an expansion. What would I add? That is an easy one, everyone welcome your newest team, the Orlando Koala Bears. No correlation, just fun.

This is a simple question, the next SHL team should be the Binghamton Hellbenders. The team just has good ring to it and the merchandise sells itself.

I'm just going to say it, as a latino hockey fan and a proud Mexican, we NEED a Mexican team somewhere. It's the only one of 3 North American nations with no representation, give us a chance!

I'd create the Honolulu Hodors because obviously Hodor is the best mascot and Honolulu would make a neat alliteration while bringing in a part of North America not often given attention

I think going into Europe could be fun, or maybe a team from Antartica? It's a little far fetched, but they'd be used to the ice already at least.
Miami is the biggest market without a team right now. Bringing back a team to Halifax could be a great idea too.
Honolulu could be fun, maybe?
If I had to submit a bid, I would try Brooklyn. Brooklyn Empire?

Alright well since @
Figgy and I got the same IQA idea, I'll have to think of something else!
That whole Team Moon gag was pretty funny a couple of months ago. I liked it a lot!
Halifax could come back. That'd be cool.
Having the Melbourne Drop Bears would be amazing and @
ThisSeemsFishy would be thrilled!
That's about it for now. ^^

We need to add a team in rbe middle of no where south Dakota. Everyone knows north Dakota fans are great so let's give the south a shout.
