[Gooningitup 1,290]

Russia is home of the KHL, a league that desperately tries to compete with the NHL. The VHL is a league all over the world, but what if the KHL decided to buy the VHL European division and bring it all into the mother land Introducing First thing first

 

Moscow Menace In no shock they are not going to fold the VHL Russian team and just replace them with a new name that would be silly. The Menace have been a huge success in Russia and is a big reason why the Russians decided to buy half of the VHL.

 

HC Davos becomes the Saint Petersburg, Horsemen

 

Based on the iconic Bronze Horseman statue in Saint Petersburg. The Horsemen comes in with a terrifying message to all the league. Well the Horseman stands, they will never lose. Lots of people will compare them to the Wranglers of the North American division but dont be fooled if you know the story of the Bronze Horseman.

 

Riga Reign become the Vladivostok Railmen

 

The Railmen are a hard working bunch, and a big part of Vladivostok entire history. Well Riga is fairly close to Russia they decided it is better to bring the team fully in their borders. The Reign are a highly successful franchise, never breaking down long much like the rail ways in mother russia. Helsinki Titans become the Omsk Freeze The Omsk Freeze come from Siberia where the days can be long and cold. Yet the people of this fine city never bend or break. Pushing through the cold and freezing temperatures every year. They are a tough people, an they want their team to be just as tough as they are.

 

The London United become the Veliky Novgorod Huntsmen

 

Probably the least known city on this list for anyone not familiar with Russia. This used to be the main port of our homeland, and a major city still to this day. This city takes pride in is trades, and like much of Russia its work ethic. The Huntsmen hope to honor that hard working tradition.

 

The Warsaw Predators become the Kazan Kremlin

 

The Kremlin in Moscow is a place of mystery. However before the Kremlin in Moscow stood this fortified fortress, that housed many secrets and was thought to be impenetrable. Now its more a tourist site showing off old Russia. However it is still a menacing solid building, and represents just how string the Kazan team will be.

 

The Malmo Nighthawks become the Yekaterinburg Executioners.

 

Long ago Russia had Kings an queens, well in this town that ended at the hand of the rising communist party. Killing the royal family with swift planning. The hockey team themselves, and looking to bring solid plans and team work to help bring the league to its knees.

 

Prague Phantoms become the Samara Savoirs

 

The city that is home to Stalins WW2 bunker. A city who views itself as saviors of Russia during that time. Samaras hockey team is aiming to be the team that saves Russian hockey. Much like they did in world war 2. I know the team names are not overly original. Most are just tied to the cities history, however im not an overly creative person. Figured be a fun look at some Russian history.
