Final Five Owners!

I would like to announce droozer, JimmyN64, and MDC as the 8th, 9th, and 10th owners in the CHLA!

I've convinced bigmike to become the 11th owner after all! The Ironmen will return. And owner #12 is my good friend, and former hockey player Evan! Evan had a short stint on the CCSLC as the user "njdevils," creating Colorado Rockies and KC Scouts concepts.

CHLA 3.0?

Alright, so I've decided to completely reform some of the ideas behind the CHLA. The "new CHLA" will consist of 12 teams, using 67% players from the Free Agent pool in NHL 11 and 33% players from the Polish, British, Italian, French and Japanese national teams. Each team will consist of 23 players (13 forwards, 7 defensemen, 3 goalies) and will play a schedule around 55-60 games. The league will use the National League from Austria's template, the reason for the 12-team league. Sims will be conducted as close to daily as possible, running from early October (hopefully, or else we'll retroactively sim) up to the middle of February. Then an 8-team playoff will begin, each with a best-of-seven series. I'll post a list of markets I'll include in the possibilities in the next post. Hopefully you'll be in the CHLA this season!
