This update covers :
Historical - any new pre-WW2 players including the NHA era, plus a bunch of previously missing international players.
I've not looked at post-WW2 other than a 2022 historical start - not anticipating many additions.
Europe - all players on protected lists at 1st July 2023 for whom no facegen already exists, in the
KHL
SHL
SML
Tipsort Extraliga (EHL)
Win2day Hockey League (ICEHL)
NLA
DEL
EIHL.
AHL & ECHL (non-NHL contracts).
Denmark - Metal Ligaen
France - Ligue Magnus
Belarus Extraleague
Norway Elite Hockey Ligaen
Slovakia Tipos Extraliga
Finland - Mestis
Sweden - HockeyAllsvenskan
Russia - VHL
Japan - Asian Hockey League
Australian Ice Hockey League
Poland - Tauron Hokej Liga
Latvia - Optibet Hokeja Liga
Usual assortment of corrections for name variations, dob errors etc...including NHL players.
Special Characters - I decided to just include special characters (copied from player_pics filename) on the basis
that some will work ok. I've also included a large number of duplicates of players with special characters who already
exist without. Suffice to say a large number of these probably don't work, and you will need to edit them out from the player
profile in FHM and fg_files (if no character free duplicate exists).
