Since, from what I have seen online, there seems to be not that much enthusiasm with playing games against other nations in Europe. And there seems to be some disagreement from hockey fans that their teams should join the KHL or even a potential big wester European league.
But, has there ever been any concideration or talks of a Scandinavian league, with teams from Sweden and Finland or with also Norway and Denmark competing together?
I think this could be an indea to look further into.
I expect that there might still be some people that would disagree with this, stating that they would rather keep their own league and only play against well known teams from their own country.
But to keep in mind is that, especially on the pre-season a lot of teams from all four Scandinavian countries play against each other. And some games are very fun to watch.
So now I will just make an example of a leage, in short, that would include all four nations in a so called Scandianvian league.
Let's say that the top 12 teams from Sweden and the top 12 teams from Finland would play in this league. This gives up 24 teams in total. And if we would look for a similar model as the NHL has, this would give us another 3 teams from Norway and 3 from Denmark, with now a total of 30 teams in this league.
And then divide this into three divisions with 10 teams each or five divisions with 6 teams each.
A western division with 3 teams from Norway and 3 from Denmark. Two divisions in Sweden with 6 teams each and the same in Finland.
How the conferences should be divided up I have no clue though.
Or as I mentioned 3 divisions, west, central and eastern with 10 teams each. Somehow.
But the absolutely easiest would be to have 5 teams from Norway and 5 from Denmark to make up one division. 10 teams from Sweden to make one and 10 from Finland to make the last.
So, has there been any talks of this before?
Do you see this as realistic?
What do you think of my idea of the Scandi league?
Which are the biggest problems to be expected?
Any upside to this?
