Here's a quickstart starting at the beginning of the NHL in 1917. All historical uniforms are included (thanks to HockeyPlaya13 and Rayzor, among others), and I've made facegens for most of the players from the inaugural season. I hope it'll work for you guys...and that the download link works! If not, let me know. If so, enjoy!
