Merica 69 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Who here has ever heard of Minot, North Dakota before joining this league? Chances are, none of you, except a select few, because the only thing Minot has going for it is the United States Air Force base located there. It's population is less than 50k and it offers little. How Minot was allowed to have a team blows my mind, it seens like a serious oversight on the part of league management. Minot is the only, I repeat that, only, American based VHLM team. That is embarassing. It's a horrible representation, there are so many better cities out there and yet here you are, stuck in Minot, North Dakota hating life. You have teams from major cities all over the world, like Moscow, Ottawa, Oslo, Bern and Bratislava. I am the most American person here, and I would rather play somewhere else because of how shitty Minot is. No beach. No bikini clad babes. Shitty winter weather. Floods. Oh wait, I guess if you are a bird watching enthusiast, you will love it there. There is also a National Distaster resiliency competition!! So, let's think about some other potential locations that could house a VHLM team. Colorado, Minnesota, California, Philadelphia, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Illinois (Chicago, anyone?)...Think of the possibilites. Colorado is a georgeous state, ever heard of the Rocky Mountains? Denver is pretty awesome too, and offers just about everything. Minnesota offers the gigantic Mall of America in Minneapolis. There are tons of places in Cali, like San Diego or San Jose. You could go with Golden State. And think of how much more appealing that is than Minot, just think about it. America deserves better.

Phil 5,129 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) 1. Relocating is for the weak. 2. Not many care about Minot.... this is also true for the VHLm so it seems rather fitting doesn't it? 3. What Bushito said: Owen Sound's a good location.

Not many care about Minot.... this is also true for the VHLm so it seems rather fitting doesn't it? 3. What Bushito said: Owen Sound's a good location. 1. That makes no sense. 2. I agree, not many care. It still looks pathetic though. 3. No. There are already plenty of Canadian teams. Not having an American team would be beyond asinine.
