League Rules

So, there's a lot of stuff we can customize with the league, and I wanna hear what you guys have to say about them.

Icing

-No Touch Icing (Juniors, Europe, Olympics, etc)

-Regular (NHL, fight to the line)

Penalties

-Sliders range from 1-4 (3 is default)

Fighting

-Sliders range from 0-2 (1 would be normal)

Playoff Series Length (8 teams make it)

-Best of 5 per Series

-Best of 7 per Series

Playoff Tiebreak

-Continuous OT (default)

-5 min 4-on-4 then shootout

Overtime Loss

-1 Point

-0 Points

Playoff Seeding

-By Top Records

-By Division Champs, then the Wildcards

Home Jersey Color

-Dark (Recent NHL)

-White (Traditional)

NOTE: Doing either of the American scoring systems would force us into doing our own playoffs independent of the game's, where you could conceptually have divisions. The season structure of 50 games gives you 6 games against 3 teams while you play the other 8 only 4 times, creating 3 natural divisions. I think we'll do that.

ALSO: Unless we get some (more) votes, I'll go with what's italicized.
