Wales is a Hockey Country

[jack 496]

Well, no it's not. But it is a country. And we definitely shouldn't put a new team there. Unless you want about 3,000 fans coming to games, because that's what their biggest arena holds.

 

Anyway.

 

What we really need is expansion into an area that has a lot of people, but isn't yet a hockey area. That's why I would like to propose Barcelona as the VHL's newest European team. Palau Sant Jordi is an indoor stadium with a capacity of over 17,000, built for the 1992 Olympics. The metro population of Barcelona is over 5,000,000, and the city loves sports. This expansion could certainly promote hockey in the warmer countries of Europe.

 

The Barcelona Bravo would be fierce Spanish squad represented by a conquistador. The logo would brandish the famous helmet and would spark a sense of pride in the team, and strike fear in the enemy.

 

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
