Our KHL

[zorz]

My "dream" KHL would be the one where European countries would be represented according to their hockey relevance. Of course that cant happen as long as the Russians consider it their league and there would be probably many more difficulties than that, so I dont think it will ever happen.

My "dream" KHL would be the one where European countries would be represented according to their hockey relevance.

The thing that jumps to my mind is at what point in history. Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union for example were superior (in hockey) by a long shot in comparison to other European countries. The situation is clearly different now. But still, relevance changes...

...I personally would like to see the czechoslovaks and russians back to their once unquestioned dominance.

My dream of KHL would have these teams. (not realistic, especially the eastern, it's just a dream)

North European conference 11 teams
Stockholm x2 - new
Helsinki x2 - 1 new
Oslo - new
St. Peterburg - current
Moscow x2 - current
Minsk - current
Riga - current
Yaroslavl - current

South European conference 8 teams
Bern x2 - new
Berlin x2 - new
Sochi - new
Zagreb - current
Donetsk - current
Bratislava - current

Central Russian conference 8 teams
Nizhny Novgorod - current
Kazan - current
Magnitogorsk - current
Chelyabinsk - current
Khanty‑Mansiysk - current
Nizhnekamsk - current
Yekaterinburg - current
Ufa - current


East Asian conference 10 teams
Haerbin, Beijing or Shanghai - new
Tokyo - new
Seoul - new
Astana x2 - 1 new
Novokuznetsk - current
Novosibirsk - current
Omsk - current
Vladivostok - current
Khabarovsk - current


As you can see the teams are not equal, because I found it too difficult to arrange them properly. But I suppose you will get my point of 4 conferences instead of 2, and each with 10 teams. So a league of 40 teams.

One conference in the far east with 1 team in each of China, Japan and South Korea. Then 2 teams in Kazakhstan and then with 5 Russian teams. Total 10 teams.

One central conference with only Russian teams. Magnitogorsk, Ufa, Kazan etc. Total 10 teams.

One kind of southern Euro-Russian conference with teams from Switzerland, Germany, Croatia, Ukraine, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Russia. Total 10 teams.

And finally one northern Euro-Russian conference with teams from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Belorus, Latvia or similar. Total 10 teams.

You killed Praha in favor of 2 Bern and 2 Berlin teams

What is this guy writing about. In Berlin there is only one team left in the german leagues, the western BSchC/Preussen/Capitals doesn't exist anymore. Every try to reanimate this great organisation ended in bankruptcy and after almost ten years of darkness there is no infrastructure left for big hockey in this parts of Berlin as well. Besides the Eisbären there ist only their farm team FASS Berlin (Oberliga - 3rd tier) and the more junior (ECC Preussen Berlin) or hobby teams (Berliner Schlittschuhclub + FASS Berlin 1b) at Regionalliga - 4th tier.

I expect, tomorrow you will suggest to add Bangkok or Singapore.

Not bad. But i dont see Severstal go to VHL with such money support. They easily can build a new arena if needed. So Severstal instead of "8th team (Stockholm/Malmö/Göteborg/Oslo)". Or SKA to Bobrov division, and only 1 new team there. =)

We're done here. Clearly you guys would rather take shots at each other than stick to the topic of a [bumped] thread.
