North American Hockey League quickstart

discodude5 · 02-04-2018, 05:24 PM

My fictional NAHL has a 20 team league with a 20 team Federal Hockey League minor league 2 conferences with 2 divisions in each, as well as the CHL with all the junior teams.

All teams have jerseys and logos. Most jerseys for the pro teams I made (home only) but the real teams in the game have downloaded jerseys.
Credit to Pwal for all his fantastic jerseys I downloaded and eriqjaffe for the awesome sweater factory app.

It starts in 1990.
Both the NAHL and the FHL are 80 game seasons and have a slight twist on pts, 2 for a regulation win, 1 for ot/so win and if you lose you get 0.
No pts for participation in this league. 8 teams make the playoffs, top 4 from each conference.
Also modified the goals per game setting to 7.00, after doing tests this should result in a few 100 pt guys, which is more like the 90's
The quickstart helmet colours are not done, I forgot to fix. These player pics are with the updates I did after starting my game.

NAHL teams as pictured:
Eastern Conference
Cleveland Thunder, Hartford Whalers, Louisville Fire, Miami Mutants, Milwaukee Wolves.
Montreal Marauders, New York Enforcers, Pittsburgh Punishers, Quebec Nordiques, Toronto Maples.

Western Conference
Calgary Mustangs, Houston Hounds, Kansas City Havoc, Las Vegas Daredevils, Los Angeles Force.
Minnesota North Stars, New Orleans Nitros, Omaha Bandits, Seattle Storm, Vancouver Grizzlies.

FHL teams
Eastern Conference
Brampton Beast, Cincinnati Cyclones, Florida Everblades, Fort Wayne Komets, Jacksonville Icemen.
Orlando Solar Bears, South Carolina Stingrays, Thunder Bay Lynx, Toledo Walleye, Wheeling Nailers.

Western Conference
Casper Ghosts, El Paso Wasps, Fargo Trappers, Idaho Steelheads, Kamloops Polar Bears.
Memphis Mutiny, Salt Lake City Rage, San Francisco Spiders, Saskatoon Saberkatz, Tulsa Night Hawks.

I have all the jerseys and logos for the NAHL and FHL here:
Since there are some that have city names but most don't you can easily change around things in your league to have different cities.

Sounds pretty cool, I'll give it a look. Nice to see more FHM fictional quickstarts.

Cant seem to load it from the "load quickstart" option?

I just checked the dropbox file and setting everything up and it worked for me so I'll list everything I did in case you missed a step.

Download the file from the dropbox link

Use a program to extract the nahl.quick file into the franchise hockey manager/quick start games folder. (I use 7-zip)

Open FHM, load quickstart, NAHL should now be an option, name your game. I said no to challenge mode when it came up since I don't know if that will cause problems with a custom league.

Reply here or send me a message if any questions. I'll try to get you going.
