To be continued...

Everything looks fantastic so far. I love the map a lot, very well done. Cool seeing a Canadian base for the makeup of the country, government wise at least. Its a great start, looking forward to seeing more.

Nice work so far, looks like it'll be a cool project. Glad I could be a small inspiration for it. Developing a fictional country is fun, there's so much of Torland that I've never even shared. Good work on the map. What type of environment does this island country sit in? What is the population and culture like?

I really like the light blue and devil ray inset into the D logo. I kinda wish Fort Theory's khaki color was darker to contrast more with the yellow but it's a good look overall. I like the logo and color scheme for the Sharks but I'm not a fan of the numbers. Cool striping. The Braves look like a love child between the Blackhawks and the Dallas Stars. Bentley looks super clean, I like the sticks in the logo.

Stop 6 - Brooklynn, South Puslinch
Owner - Killian Clark
The Brooklynn Blackhawks are the sixth team announced, playing their games from the Brooklynn Arena. They have a natural rivalry built in with Bentley  who are only an hour away. The team is named after the city’s main bird which can be seen flying high above the city regularly.



Stop 7 - Kelly City, Kelly
Owner - Bryson McCrae
The Kelly City Lakers are team seven, named because they sit in between Puslinch Bay and Kelly Bay and are the biggest shipping port in the country. Hundreds of laker ships can be seen in the city every week. They are playing out of the Quest Centre.



Stop 8 - Mount Faith, McNally
Owner - Benson Cowan
The 8th team is the Mount Faith Eruption. While the city of Mount Faith is an active volcano, it’s last eruption was in 1938. The Eruption are playing their games from the Phantom Grounds, which is in the shadows of Mount Faith volcano. It is one of the nicest sites in the country and an absolute destination.



Stop 9 - Lake Hope, Copetown
Owner - Sullivan Roth
The Lake Hope Lions are the 9th team, and will be playing their games out of the Vertex Centre. Lake Hope is home to the largest zoo in the country and is home to a major lion sanctuary. The Vertex Centre sits on the shores of Lake Hope and is considered to be a legendary venue in the country where a who’s who of musicians have performed.



Stop 10 - Cayuga, Kirkwall
\The final team is the Cayuga Saints. Playing out of the Cardinal Grounds, Cayuga is considered to be the centre of Catholicism. The Cardinal Grounds are owned by the Catholic Church of Yorkland and they built a 10,000 seat arena to host their massive church ceremonies. They are leasing the building to the Saints where the building will be transforming into a hockey rink which can be easily converted back to a church setting. The fans have nicknamed the building "The Chiesa."



Up next, the inaugural draft...

Looking good so far 3Point!  

While I do like Lake Hope and Brooklyn, I'd say my favorite is the Battlefield Braves, (green team bias).
