I've Just uploaded my file comtaining 180 cards of players from the English Elite league. I'm just waiting for it to be approved.

Depending on how well its taken I might think about TBL'in some other leagues.

Hope you enjoy it (when/if its released)

To make Calv happy I can tell that Tony "The Great One" Hand is there. :-D

I'm glad you like it. Its my first project, and the source material wasn't to great. So I wasn't sure wheather or not It would be added. Well I'm glad it is.

Um... I don't really know who the "Great One" you are reffering to. But in my eye Brad Voth or Matt Towe is the grat one.

I'm thinking of moving on to the lower British leagues next such as the English Premier leauge and the ENL.

Nah.. B72 means that Freak (somewhat of nature, somewhat just freak)Tony Hand, who is loved, adored and referred to by Calv as Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, Jacques Plante, Terry Sawchuk, Gordie Howe and Mario Lemieux all combined into one player..albeit one who was too scared to play in the NHL, because he was to far from his mommy.

I encountered the same problem - there isn't that much source material out there. I got around the problem for the Manchester Phoenix facepack I made using photos myself and my bro (Calv) had taken at various games. Also, a user on the Phoenix forums gave me permission to use her photos. The best way to get source images is to ask people who take pictures and post them on EIHL forums and the like. A few years back a Nottingham Panthers photographer kindly gave me a DVD full of photos of British hockey from which I made a number of graphics addons for EHM 2004. So I'd highly recommend scouring EIHL and EIHL team forums for kind photographers. :thup:

Tony Hand's decision to return to the UK was one of the best things that happened to British hockey. 40 years young and he's still 70+ pts seasons :cool:

great stuff. Sorry to correct you but it is the UK elite league. 3 teams come from countries out side of England. :-p Don't worry though is a common misconception.

Could you be able to do the Scottish teams in the Scottish Premier Hockey League

dundee stars
fife flyers
solway sharks - it says 06/07roster but it actaully is up to date I think
Braehead Paisley Pirates - cannot currently find up to date roster pictures
Certainly though I could offer some assistance on the Scottish teams. Though may be busy with uni until May.

There is also the Irish hockey League that perhaps could be done at some point. Though yes for both Scotland and Ireland it may be a case of needing more players on rosters for it to be worthwhile. I could probably help with details like date of birth and well maybe some stats. Though would be hard to get accurate ratings so just something pretty general would need to do.

Sounds like a plan. I'd sure be intrested in it. Just let me know when what you have in mind. Is it just TBL Cards... Or some kind of mody thingy??

Um... Currently I'm working on TBL Cards for the EPIHL. So hopefully they will be ready for release in a week or to.

As regarding me saying "English Elite League" it was just out of some strange habbit.Sorry If I offended anyone. I don't even know why I said it as I know there is one team from Wales (Cardiff Devils), Ireland (Belfast Giants) and Scottland (Edinbough Capitals).

Anyway... Big up the Devils.

That all depends on what Tony looks like in the card.
