Mark Messier Leadership Awards before 2006-07 season

I think NHL awards should follow history. It didn't really bother me though, until I played through a historical game starting in 1994-95 and Mark Messier won the Mark Messier Leadership Award in 1995. This just seems wrong. This award debuted in 2006-07, so it probably shouldn't be awarded in historical games until this time, or at least a couple years after Messier retires. Vancouver fans probably want to disable this award altogether

, but I won't get into that right now.

Yeah, right now historical games have all awards active in all seasons. It's an issue with the way the awards data is stored for leagues; it's not in a place where I can just turn them off in specific years in the same way I can change things like roster or game rules. Hoping to change that for FHM8, but I'm not sure yet if it'll make the cut.

It's definitely not a deal-breaker. That one instance was kind of funny, but I would rather you work on cool new stuff than this.

You can turn it off yourself on Juliy 1st in the league edit screen

Thanks for pointing that out. I never looked there before. I also noticed that you can rename the award which, for me is even better than disabling it.
