The 12 Teams that will be entering PPHL Season 1 Are(I have made these team names up,all from Canadian Cities :) ) Winnipeg Dynamite Victoria Whales Yellowknife Mustangs Airdrie Thunder(Actual Junior B team out of Alberta) Halifax Spartans St John Trojans Kelowna Cougars Hamilton Ice Hawks Regina RoadRunners Quebec Blazers Red Deer Bisons Niagra Cheifs _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ANOTHER EXPLANATION OF THE PPHL: 1. The 80 18 year old players in the PPHL(scattered from team to team) are your to-be-drafted players of the year how will you know their age? The player will have his age beside him in brackets... (18)Sidney Crosby L C 3 5 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 7 64 I will also post it in a notepad document that will remain on the site,it will list the age of the player,and if they have been drafted yet. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. if you have a player that you have drafted,but does not fit into your roster position,or you just want to boost its ratings you can leave him in the prospects league for 1 more season. Ex: Sidney Crosby L C 3 5 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 7 64 does not meet your expectations for the roster,and you send him back. Sidney has an amazing season in the league, Sidney Crosby L C 3 5 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 7 64 Sidney Crosby L C 4 5 7 7 7 7 7 8 8 8 8 75 you have got yourself a damn good player,seeing as he is only 20 years old. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND. Crosby gets a -1 or -2 streak and plays brutal most of the season Sidney Crosby L C 3 5 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 7 64 Sidney Crosby L C 3 5 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 7 6 61 He cannot go down more than -3 OV. We will make sure he doesnt go ATB down,SO it is a risk to put your prospect back into the league,but there is some protection he isnt crap after he gets out. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. When you send a player back to the juniors,this HAS to be decided BEFORE the preseason begins. If I(or steve) have no e-mails regarding your prospect to go back down,we will assume you want to keep him on the farm. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.The league will consist of 80 18 year olds,80 17 year olds,and 80 16 year olds. Draft Formula: 80 18 year olds enter the draft in PHL season 1, 72 of them will be drafted. that equals 8 left over,they are now 19 year olds,they go back to the prospects league for their extra season as if they were drafted and see if they are good enough to be drafted again the next season. Now I am telling you this because.....when you draft a 19 year old,he has NO CHOICE but to go on the farm (or pro depending on his OV),he cannot have his bonus year in the prospects,because he is already over the PPHL age limit(19 of course). If the 19 year old is not drafted,he will enter the free agent pool and will be able to be signed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. SCOUTING: look over the players throughout the season and make a draft list before the draft of people you are interested in,after every month a insider look at prospects will come out with the top 30 of the month,based on performance. even look at the 16 year olds and plan ahead to the future,look at their injury patterns,stuff like that. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SIMULATION FORMULA: I will be simulating once a week,seeing as their is twelve teams,obviously not as many games will be played(approx: 984) the phl and pmhl do 20 games a day,with 24 teams,82 games played(approx 1968 games) which will take 98 days to do a full season with the PPHL going at that rate,it will be done in 49 days,so I have to make it work. SO THE TIMES AND HOW MANY GAMES WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER.
