Perhaps have the option to assign a spring training stadium each team will play in...
Try spring training in Anchorage and Whitehorse. The Yukon Prospectors have sunny spring games where the temperature is lucky to clear zero.

Here's a related question - does temperature and weather have an influence over injuries? This question becomes more than cosmetic if more players get injured in the cold. On top of that, I think temperature does influence offensive levels - is that right?
