I was in a sim league like this once. It was 20 teams, all Canadian towns/cities. Only Canadian players. I am not Canadian, but I knew the commish from another league and let me in because he knew I would be active and my grandmother was born in Slave Lake. My great grandmother brought her to NYC when she got word that her sister immigated here. For those unfamiliar with sim leagues, market size did not come into play. So, I could put my team in Ft McMurray or Yellowknife and it was not a disadvantage to someone who used a bigger city. Only rule was nobody could use the names of the 8 Cities that had an NHL team in the early-mid 90s. BUT, you could use the name of a neighborhood/town/whatever within the city. I used Slave Lake as an ode to Grandma.
edit: I was also aware of, but not in, another sim league where the teams were at the time all the current and former NHL team names, and at the time Canadian AHL teams. So, they had the Quebec Nordiques and Quebec Bullogs, the Maroons, Vancouver Millionaires, Toronto St Pats, Hamilton Bulldogs, etc.
