I spent the better half of this week trying to come up with an awesome new location for an expansion NSFL team and after serious consideration I have come up with... well nothing... damnit. What I did come up with is that I believe an expansion team should be awarded to a Canadian city to form a rivalry with the Yellowknife Wraiths. Lets consider a couple of options and then pick the best one! Vancouver is a beautiful city (one of Canada's largest) nestled along the Pacific Coast. Vancouver makes a very logical choice for a real team but for the fun of the sim league I want something a little less realistic. How about another Northern team in say Whitehorse or Iqualiut? Though both of these could be fun and would make a very realistic rival to Yellowknife I like the idea of Yellowknife being "THE Team of the North". Excluding the North and major cities I think we should consider somewhere in the middle of Canada...AhA! I have the perfect spot. Lloydminster. You've probably never heard of this small town, so why is it the perfect choice? Well get this...half of the town is in Saskatchewan and the other half is in Alberta! On one side the legal drinking age is 19 and the other 18. I say we build a stadium right down the middle and make it the official team of two different provinces! Now that's an original idea. As far as a name is concerned? Well I think we put it to a vote and let the people pick!
