Put some teams in the countless smaller Ontario cities, get some teams in the Maritimes, and maybe even Quebec City or Saskatchewan.
I feel like smallish cities would embrace the team, especially after the Olympics when their names are known everywhere.

At the same time though a smaller league can piggy-back off an anchor tenant that pays the lease and maintenance and try and limit travel costs?
The point at the end of the day though is that Hockey is a gate-driven league. You have to sell tickets and its tough to sell tickets to something few people are interested in or care about at a cost level that can attract people and retain talent.
