Expansion - locations?

[jRuutu 2,464]

Two new teams will be joining the VHL soon, we don´t know just yet where those teams are located, but that gives me an excellent opportunity to think about some cool locations for those teams! When we think about hockey around the world right now, I think Germany is one of the nations that will surprise many in the future. A real focus on German players and youth programs instead of the national team being half full of Canadians.

 

Germany has also great fan culture in football and in hockey. In my opinion Germany is an ideal place to have a team in. Hamburg, Berlin or Leipzig to throw couple city names out there.

 

The second one is England or Great-Britain, taking big steps forward in the hockey world as we saw in the IIHF 2019 world championship. Just like Germany, they have the sports culture and people to support hockey, just need to keep going forward and invest in the sport.

 

That is why I would add a team into England: London, Liverpool or Manchester could be good locations. Does not have to be England necessarily, anywhere in Great Britain would work, got great fans that make games a treat to be part of.
