So, let's for giggles say there will be a North League to supplement the Pacific and International Leagues.
In my blogblab post (Much More MiLB in Canada) I started to throw out some cities and team names. Here they are:
London Ontario could house the Ontario Horsemen.
or Gold Shoes
Windsor Casinos
Quebec Nordes
BC Westerners
Edmonton Fielders
Calgary Coldies
Halifax Citadels
Hamilton Zambonis
Winnipeg Winnies or Manitoba Manshees sound funnier than BC Banshees
Brampton Boaters
Saskatchewan Big Feet
Sudbury Suds
And here are more teams below. And remember some of my minor league expansion theme - two teams at least can share a field (less away games for fans to think about without live baseball, popcorn and hot dogs). The Big Feet and Saskaroos can play home at the same place. Double decker locker rooms and clubhouses, whatever.
Saskatoon Saskaroos
Surrey Settlers
Regina NecksWinnipeg
Quebec City Queensmen
Mississauga Magicians
I would throw some Alaskan teams in there, but they're already in the West Coast division of the Ocean League.
Check out my post and tell me whether a Canadian located league should be Trip'-A or the lower rung in the form of this Rookie-Advanced League I present.And I know a lot of Triple-A parks are 10k seats. If you wanted this North/Maple League to be AAA....well, it's Canada, it's up north. Do 5k. Set up a ton of community outdoor classics in the diamond's off season. Double up your parks with squads representing heavily traveled Ocean League and Maple League clubs.
