This is great Calv, thanks! I'm a little worried about my guy's conditioning and he's also much smaller than everyone else, but it's still cool!

I just have to add another big thanks to Calv for doing this, great initiative!

It will be interesting to see how my two-way defenceman turns out, I imagine his jack of all trades nature could mean he becomes anything from a #1 D-man to a complete bust depending on potential and development. I hope he ends up in Leksand first and bring them back to the SEL before going over to North America, that would be awesome. :-D

Too bad you and I got split up this time. We tore up the Q last year.
You never know, maybe we'll end up in Junior or the NHL together at some point? I went a different route with my player this time though. I opted to go with a tough defenseman instead of a scoring winger. I think my dman will be a beast!

Anticipation is an under-appreciated attribute. I always look for that when I'm searching for players.

Owen Nolan has that honor. He was born in Belfast.

I don't think he's really caught up in all that. I think he spent most of his life in Canada.

Wow! a big thank you we love you to Calv!

I can't wait to see how things develop.

I haven't been this excited since last october (Go Habs Go!). I hope that Johnny Jazz doesn't disapoint me like I was in April (what a mess the Habs are in...). :-D

Players that don't meet their own expectations (such as being drafted into the NHL, or being shuffled around the lower minors (IHL, ECHL, CHL) sometimes will retire as early as age 20.

Are you worried your guy will retire at the ripe old age of 15? :)

Last time no one retired early, even though some players were only getting 1 or 2 games a season in the AHL.

Updates to start appearing from tomorrow :thup:

Done first half of the first update, this ones taking longer as I'm having to create a new webpage for each player as I go along, the others shouldn't take as long

The rest of the update will be done tomorrow

Update can be found here: http://ehmtheblueline.weebly.com/first- ... shots.html

Hey Calv, I don't mean to bug you too much, but whenever you get the chance could you see what line Jack Pynsent and Phillip Kornruff are on? I ask because they are both centers for the same team.

I'd assume that's what he meant when he said only the first half of the first update was done.
