The S20 Exhibition and Regular Season schedules (excluding All-Star Game) have been added to the league website.
For the exhibition schedule, I randomly selected one team for each other team to host. To (barely) help facilitate the Trilium Cup, all of the Ontario teams were grouped together. This gives everyone one home game and one road game and results in a five-day schedule.
The S20 Entry Draft is complete and eligible, rated players who were selected should now be on their respective teams. Players who are rated but ineligible are listed here.
The S20 Supplemental Draft is complete. All players have been added to their respective teams' rosters. If anything doesn't look right, let me know.
Up next is the Entry Draft on Tuesday night.
The Draft Lottery results for the S20 Entry Draft have been announced and the list of available players for the Supplemental Draft has been built. We should be all set for the various drafts at this point.
Re-rates are complete. All players who are rated but are NSHL-ineligible for the coming season have been noted. If anything doesn't look right, please let me know.
Alright, with the Season 19 award winners announced, the site has officially moved over to "Season 20 Mode."
I'll be running re-rates over the next day or two. As previously mentioned, there are no new ratings, so this will "just" re-determine player eligibility.
That's a wrap on Season Nineteen. Congrats to Andrew and the North Dakota Nighthawks on their run to the Finals and thanks to everyone for another successful season.
We're going to try to have a quick turnaround this offseason. Voting for end of season awards will be open via the GM Tools shortly and remain open until noon on February 24. After that, we'll officially switch the league calendar over to Season Twenty.
I forgot to mention this last night but voting for this season's All-Star rosters is now open. Barring any schedule changes between now and then, voting should be open until noon on Saturday with the All-Star Game played that night.
The Season 19 Entry Draft went off surprisingly well today. All NSHL-eligible players who were selected should now be on their respective team's roster. Additionally, any players who were deemed NSHL-ineligible when we did re-rates due to not having signed, who have since signed in the NHL, have been added to their team's roster.
Alright, with Draft Priority Groups having been released, we can move forward with the Season 19 Drafts.
The Entry Draft is scheduled for October 1 at 3:00 PM. I specifically want to give time for this one (hence the afternoon start) because of the new draft-related code. Just in case things get nuts, I want time to fix it.
