canuck73_3 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Nashville or Columbus for me Columbus is just a nice city and Nashville obviously the more fun city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver is a better place to live for a multitude of reasons but there are too many non-hockey distractions. Edmonton is cold enough, and for long enough, that it is ideal for playing hockey. And there is not much else going on so you can focus on playing. Oh, and it's flat. It's easier playing hockey when it's flat. And it's Canada. It doesn't make sense to me playing hockey in the southern US. Go Canucks Go! lmao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glug Datt Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 hmmm... I love the heat, hate the cold.. love golf, not into watersports. not into fishing or hunting etc.. love food & music.. I think my first choice would be either Nashville or Vegas.. then maybe Arizona, although I haven't been there. only team in Canada would be Vancouver.

King Heffy Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Personally, I'd go with Vancouver, NYC, Denver, Vegas, San Jose, Montreal. Just picking cities I'd have difficulty being bored in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkstar Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 New York, Montreal, Tampa/Florida, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Anywhere in California or Florida. NYC or Boston . Montreal is a fun city but hockey fans / media there are super demanding so could be alot of pressure on the players. Vancouver is a beautiful city but unfortunately not much to do in Vancity for the young guys....Its rep of No fun city is well earned.

I guess I can take my tongue out of my cheek now (maybe my style of humour is a little too subtle). But even with humour there is an element of truth. People can and should play hockey anywhere they feel like it (except maybe the southern US that's just weird - OK, OK, I'm still joking). I've lived in both Vancouver and Edmonton and while I do prefer Vancouver, Edmonton isn't nearly as bad as Vancouverites think it is. In fact I find it kind of amusing that so many so-called hockey fans actually hate winter and make fun of places that actually have one. We should embrace winter (through playing hockey and other winter sports) not try to escape it. Go Canucks Go! Edited September 20, 2019 by nux_win I wanted to add "other winter sports" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrockBoester Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Obviously Edmonton or Toronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 If I had a choice. It would be Van, LA, NY, Montreal or Toronto in that order. Van for obvious reasons LA and NY would be a blast being a young rich athlete Montreal and Toronto just based on their history and fan commitment.

6string Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Any old six add Philly and Nashville. Absolute worst Florida and Arizona having your childhood dream distorted with a half filled arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenspear Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I'd assume most would choose to go to their childhood favorite. Omitting Vancouver, because that's my answer, I could see playing in NY (hub of the world, not much divisional travel milage) SJ/LA/Ana, nice and warm, Seattle, (you never said current NHL team), Dallas, used to idolize Modano and Nieuwendyk, Colorado, because of Sakic, Forsberg, and Bourque won his cup there.
