Sacramento Jr. Bears: A Expansion Idea

[Will3 460]

I am back with another simple idea for a possible future VHLM expansion team. This idea combines elements from the Saskatoon Wild's past to create a new team within the Northern California market. The idea to place another team in California came from the Fresno Bulls, the first iteration of what became the Saskatoon Wild. I moved the team around the Sacramento/San Francisco area to distance itself from the more southernly Los Angeles/San Diego area. The nickname came from the Buffalo Jr Bears, the second and last of Saskatoon's pervious iterations. While that nickname was borrowed from Seattle, it would fit nicely in the capital of a state which prominently features a bear on its flag. It brings hockey to new exciting markets and promotes an interesting three way rivalry between the Los Vegas Aces and the San Diego Marlins. I feel Northern California should be considered when the time for expansion comes. This is my idea of what that team could look like.
