Cutting The Pacific Division In Half

The Pacific has 10 teams, making it ideal to cut in half in a 34-team league, especially if one of the expansion teams is out west. It will allow the league to have four six-team divisions and two five-team divisions (or they can be bold and have eight, eight, nine, and nine). Say Portland is added to the mix, the Pacific will look like this.

Pacific South

Bakersfield Condors
Coachella Valley Firebirds
Henderson Silver Knights
Ontario Reign
San Diego Gulls
Tucson Roadrunners

Pacific North

Abbotsford Canucks
Calgary Wranglers
Colorado Eagles
Portland Rosebuds (this is the throwback name they deserve)
San Jose Barracuda

It’s something the league must consider with expansion on the horizon and relocation always in the back of everyone’s head. So, let’s look at some division realignment ideas that make sense.
