This is not really my area of interest so maybe I get that wrong but if I understand this correctly it would result in (historical) fictional setups anyway so it would not matter if e.g. Russians would play in NA earlier then in reality, right?

And the Soviets didn't start playing hockey until post-WW2, so does it make sense to have Russians appearing in 1933?)
