Never liked hockey myself, much too fast to make sense of what's going on.
That will have precious little influence on the enjoyment of a CC map though, so why the hell not? Go for it!

Funny, 40k, I was just thinking about that ealier, myself. You mean that each team's logo would be represented as a terr across North America? That might be neat.
I think, though, that it would be just as neat for the map to be a hockey rink complete with players, puck, boards, glass, crowd etc. Kind of like the way Cricket is outlined, except a lot simpler (and regarding a hockey surface).

How about instead of making it a real hockey map, go with the idea of the old table top hockey game. That way you have each player on each team in their repsective place on the "ice" and the slots on the table top that allow the players to move could be your impassable borders. There are enough lines on the surface to create plenty of regions. You have the face off dots (9), the face off circles (5), the back of the goal line divided in three with the trapazoids (6), the creases (2), nets (2), the players (12). Even the puck and the on ice advertisement could be regions.
However it's done, I'd be sure to play it.

see i wanted to do that and have the NA maps combined.
each team has a logo in its state and each region will be a bonus.
then off to the side there would be a hockey rink like you described it.

Not a bad idea, but using the NHL and it's logos I doubt you could do legaly. However, country flags you can use. Why not have the rink being the focal point, and on the side you have the pools like they do in international play, including all the hockey nations. This is a game played across the globe, so why not have flags of hockey nations around the globe? So, have your rink then:
Group A
■ Canada
■ Norway
■ Switzerland
■ United States of America
Group B
■ Czech Republic
■ Latvia
■ Russia
■ Slovakia
Group C
■ Belarus
■ Finland
■ Germany
■ Sweden
(These are the twelve nations that played in the 2010 Olympics, and their respective pools)
Each group can be a territory, and you could even add a scoreboard as well that has Home Score, Visitor Score, Home Penalty, Visitor Penalty, and Period and Time markers.
Also, if you don't want to go the table hockey way, and want to keep it to ice hockey, the benches, penalty box, scorer's box can be added as regions. Also, you could have two refs and two linesmen spread at different points on the ice to also get you a bonus if you have them. Having both refs and a full team could even give you extra bonus. Or perhaps linking the refs with the penalty boxes for bonus.

No, as the focus is on the ice and not the groups and brackets. You could assault the groups the net region, or if you wanted, you could make it that the groups are like UK on the WWII Europe map, and no one can attack them, but you could bombard them either through the nets or the scoreboard or something like that. Groups could attack each other though perhaps?
Either way, the groups aren't necessary... just think that an international feel would be better than an NHL feel if you wanted to incorporate something outside the ice surface

Those flags are way too big in my opinion. To me, the brackets need to be something on the side, and not the main focus. Here's the size I think the flags should be:

you are going to need to understand a graphics program (such as gimp, or photoshop) to make this map. I'm not contributing to graphics for the club at this time. But if you have certain questions, I can try to help answer.

Oh! Oh! I know! Pick me! Pick me!
Go: Image -> Scale image.
Should be pretty self-explanatory.
If not,
