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.
