OOTP Version: 9
Game Needed: Required
Players: Fictional

Currently Available Teams: none

This league has been around a long long time, since April 2002 in real time, and the founder is still the commish so it's obviously no fly by night league. Members come and go like any league, but what's interesting is a lot of our members eventually come back to it, like I did a few seasons ago. The rules are fairly basic and Chris is pretty accommodating when it comes to sim change requests. My favourite aspect of the league has probably been the discussions as we usually have a pretty lively group when we get going. We have lost some of our more talkative people in the last few seasons though so it'd be nice to replace them with other talkers, but even if you're more of a keep to yourself person, as long as you have a good time and take care of your team, you'll be more than a welcome addition to our little group.

Check the reports link above to get an idea of the strengths and weaknesses of the teams. Two are decent .500 teams and 2 need to rebuild. With a little tender loving care and maybe a bit of luck here and there, I'd bet any of them could turn into contenders within a few seasons.

Bummer the PEI franchaise is gone.

Folks should have a look at this one. Quite solid and has it's own groups of characters.

changed mind.

Yellowknife has been taken and it looks like another of the 3 will be gone soon. Message us soon to get one of the remaining 2.

The post-season is a great time to join a league because you get a chance to re-sign some players, cut some players before the contracts get automatically extended, and you get time to assess your needs and wants for the draft and free agency.

I can't say enough good things about this league. Chris is an amazing commish and highly dedicated. Great owners, fun league and lots of history.

When owners have to leave due to real life issues you almost always find them coming back (in fact one posted in this thread already). That in itself shows how great this league is.

The Kitchener vacancy has been filled. Hamilton and Medicine Hat are still open.

I just joined this league (Yellowknife) and I like the concept and how it runs. Come on over and join!
