Re: Best league for a Challenge
UK leagues?
The 'National Ice-Hockey League' in the UK is split into 2 divisions of mostly amateur teams, then there is the Premier League and Elite League above that.
After that maybe a job in a European league and look at moving on from there?
Word is you'll struggle to reach the NHL depending on your nationality though.
And usually helps to take an international-coaching job as well early doors, or you could be trolling the lower-leagues for some time.

Re: Best league for a Challenge
Some guys have put American or Canadian as their 'second' nationality to help them, don't know if that works though!

Big QFT, make sure to make yourself part-Canadian/American if you want to get to the NHL, else it'll get REAAAAAAAAALLLY hard even if you have the right reputation.marksbros6 wrote:UK leagues?

The NIHL is a fun suggestion like Mark said, I also did a Swiss game in the NLB (feeds into the NLA) for a bunch of seasons and that was pretty challenging too.

Thanks for these will start and be part Canadian. What about Finland ?? Noticed they have 3 divisions with promotion and relegation ?? Start at bottom and work up.
