I have decided to try out and play in the OHL as my hometown Hamilton Bulldogs of the FHM 4.
The following is our database setup:
Manager Setup:
Hamilton's newly signed GM, Rick Stevens took time out of his busy schedule to visit a local children's hospital. Stevens offered a rare glimpse into his personal side when the media caught up with him. "These kids put things into perspective. Sometimes you get caught up in the details, take things for granted. You really need to take a step back and give back to the fans, especially those who are less fortunate. I have alot of work ahead of me with Hamilton, but it's nothing compared to what these kids go through every day. My job is easy"
