So I've been playing around with this idea for quite a while now, seeing as I struggle with getting burned out while working on one thing for
too long and bounce around from project to project a lot... I based a lot of this off of The Hockey Guy, Shannon Skanes' league that he created in 1983. I'll link to the videos at the bottom of this post. I also drew inspiration from Bacon's Fictional Roster on MLB the Show. I'll link his pages as well. And obviously, a majority of the jerseys were created by Hockey13Playa who, if you're a regular here, really needs no introduction at all
Credit to Cole98 as well for some of his alternate history jerseys, which I've also used. Thank you to Adam B for his fantastic National Anthem Mod. And thank you to all of the wonderful creators at the Goal Horn Database for all of their work recreating the history of hockey Goal Horns. As for the league logo, credit has to go to Txranger. I used the maple leaf logo he posted and the color scheme from one of his other logos. Just wanted to give credit where credit is due. So after watching all of this I decided to follow Shannon's process from back then and create my own backstories etc. I've gone through
just about every player and adjusted personalities, development speed etc. to create an ever evolving league...Or at least I hope so.
I've based a lot of the players off of some of my favorite real life players, legends, and some are just characters my friends and I created as kids to add some diversity. I hope that anyone who downloads this quickstart gets as much enjoyment from playing it as I did creating it.
So after losing all of my files, I was able to salvage some of the pieces and start over. I have some jerseys left to create and I still have to make most of players and iron out some bugs and I'll be including a "read me" of sorts with player and team background etc, but I'll be posting the file as soon as I can. I'll be periodically updating this post with expansion teams that I'm planning on using and I'll gladly try and create jerseys for anyone who would like to add something specific. Also, feel free to post your own work as that's always welcome and appreciated. I'll also be updating, adding rinks and other levels of customization as I go along. I can add an updated quickstart with everything, and separate files with rinks, horns, etc. I've kept the junior league pretty basic. I've made the CHL one league with several teams from each of the leagues. I'll be updating periodically adding more leagues and players and I'll try and fix any bugs etc. that I come across. If you find any spelling errors, facegen issues, or anything like that, please do not hesitate to let me know. And don't worry, I have saved backups of EVERYTHING this time xD
