How Many Junior League Hockey Teams Needed

gRaider2001 · 11-02-2015, 11:04 PM

Hello All,

I created a fictional hockey league with 24 major league teams, 24 minor league teams. I would like to create a junior league, and was wondering how many teams I should have in that league?

Thanks for the help:-)

I would go with at least 24; the player generation routines will try to ensure that you get enough new prospects for the top league every year regardless of the junior league size, but with a much smaller league you may have issues with the quality and diversity of the talent pool. Having a bigger junior league than your main league won't hurt (or help) the overall number of prospects, it'll just mean more low-quality players that aren't good enough for top-level hockey.
