Okay my two cents Sudbury could work pretty well. But if I had too choose I would pick Quebec City and Halifax. Quebec City could have a rivalry with Montreal and Halifax gets this league into the Maritime provinces

 
I agree with most of this. My only thing would be to go to St. John over Halifax. The travel to New Brunswick is a bit more negotiable compared to Nova Scotia and can be a bit more navigable given the time period. With Halifax it’s either take a long train ride around through New Brunswick onto the mainland or take a ferry to the mainland.

My choices are Quebec City for instant rivalry with Montreal, and St. John, New Brunswick to get the leagues feet wet in the Maritimes and possible expansion to Halifax before the decade is up.

Edit: due to recent research, I’ll be swapping my second choice to the bigger St. John, New Brunswick.

Marc Moreau enters the league with a bang. His bid came out of nowhere, with only a few select sources correctly conjecturing that Quebec City would garner a team. Moreau unveiled the Quebec Defensuers, which roughly translates to Quebec City Defenders after the famous fortifications of the city in its early days as a stalwart point of defence against the British and the Indigenous people. Although gaudy and bright, the Quebec Defensuers wear a "simple" (HA!) uniform with a classic and elegant scripted D logo. Quebec hosts their visitors in the Jacques Cartier Forum in the elegant Old Quebec, the historic district which feels like you are stepping back in time. 

Moreau hopes that he will be able to ice a team that lives up to the defensive name. Quebec seems fit to be a force to be reckoned with, bringing a defensive force that can lock down a lead if needed, although their offensive skills do tend to leave a lot to be desired. If their offense can figure some things, they should be a top contender within the league.

C+C is welcome! If there is anything you want to see, like official logos for each team, let me know and I can post them. The next team will be up within the next few days.

Big fan of Quebec's look, the jersey is especially unique but in a good way

HALIFAX BULLDOGS ANNOUNCED

HALIFAX. July 30, 1936. Outside the city hall just after the noon hour, Rodger Bennett announced the entrance of a new Canadian Premiere Hockey League team centered within the “great city we call home!” Bringing an obviously uncomfortable young man onto the dais with him, Bennett displayed the first uniform in the CPHL which uses white as a base. Large, dark navy-blue stripes cuffed the sleeves and were topped by an orange trim. The shoulders were orange, surrounding a blue neckline that was just barley decent. Thin, embroidered blue letters went diagonally across the torso, decrying that they were from Halifax. From Halifax, this is Jeremy Blight reporting, The Toronto Journal.

Now that that is out of the way, the Bulldogs are…not the best, shall we say. Their goaltending is on par with the league, but their offense and defence could use some work. Perhaps in the coming years the Bulldogs could come to fruition and become a contender. For now, the Bulldogs will have to weather the coming years.

The idea for Halifax is great, but the lettering on the front needs to be made a bit bigger, bolder, and shrunk vertically because right now it is very hard to read and it also goes from the very top the to very bottom of the jersey
