If I could read my Manager messages and then delete them all at once would be great!

Baden, building a team from complete scratch is honestly pretty fun and a really good experience. It also makes changing tactics and building your team how you want to build it a lot easier. I joined a team that got relegated and had almost nothing left my first season and I dominated and got first place. Best of luck in regards to that!
 
My pre-season has been quite fantastic after a crappy draft situation. I got a replacement for my first line center, signed three of my prospects, and have enough good backups to survive any injuries. I'm excited for the new season and really hoping this is the team to take me to the GHL.

So I start my 2nd season......I'm actually glad I got relegated here's why ....my first season was a learning season learning the site and how it all works. I inherited a team with a bunch of 1W contracts. I now have a basic understanding of how the site works and I have a team staring from scratch that I have put together....... GHL here I come lol

Post whatever...within reason

All is solved now. I emailed the gameplan hockey support email linking this thread and Anders unbanned me about a day and a half after I was banned. This was my first suspension so I'm not really sure why it was going to be 5 days long, but it's fixed now for the most part. Anders said that the same IP trade (to repair the bugged trade with the Coquitlam Timberwolves) could have been part of the reason for my ban, but I apparently had several cheater votes against me way back near when I started playing (possibly from the suspicion of me joining in as 16th in the SHL and turning the team around and coming in first in the IHL the next season). None of those managers that reported me are active anymore so Anders saw no reason for me to remain banned.
 
However, in the 2 or 3 game days that the computer took over, it re-signed a bunch of guys I wanted to get rid of (fortunately you can cancel pending contracts), messed up all of my lines, and ultimately lost me the first round of my playoffs series, although it was ridiculously close. So it was all rather unfortunate timing, but Anders is doing an amazing job with the game and I can't stress that enough.
 
Thanks all for your involvement and support! Cheers!

It's so nice to see some fresh, active members here!

1 game left Gravenhurst Wheelers vs Blackville Panthers  wish this game was televised lol Wheelers need a regulation win if they get it Panthers head to playoff if panthers get 1 point Wheelers head to playoffs. Cool Beans

@Baden
 
Looks like the Wheelers have to go through the Desert Birds first... who are themselves fighting for the #2 spot. The Wheelers may have nothing to play for once they meet up with the Panthers...

Gravenhurst Wheelers   have a battle going on with Blackville Panthers in IHL and they play each other in the last game of season 

Hey everyone! I'm Luke Ciccone and I've been the manager of the Reliance Renegades for over a year now. I guess that means I'm not exactly new, but I figured I might as well introduce myself. Some of you may already know me as I'm rather active with trading and messaging other managers in Clapper. I'm also Mike's brother, who is the manager of the Colome Knights. He got me into the game and I'd like to think I'm already a better manager than him. Haha, maybe not but it's nice to have someone to bounce trade ideas off of.
 
When I joined, I was randomly placed on a BHL team when the regular season had already ended. My team had finished last place and was going to be relegated. I lost essentially everyone due to 1-way contracts and I had quite a bit of cap space locked from the previous manager releasing players with years still left on their contracts. I started completely fresh from the IHL where I finished first place in my very first season. I've worked my way up into the upper half of the SHL now where I was close to promotion into the GHL last season through the playoffs, but lost in the third game of the series. This season has been all about building up a strong young team for the next season. I'll likely be in the playoffs again this season but I'm not expecting promotion in the slightest.
 
I didn't really mean to give my whole 11 season summary, but I really love the game and am always excited to get to talk about it. I wish everyone success in their future seasons. Thanks!

Season 19, day 40
Assistant impressed by Kirby Agostini
 
...atta boy! lol

@ Smashvilles4realz YW I wasn't really playing him and considering all of the one way contracts I inherited and the freefall we are in, the pick ain't gonna hurt lol

Thanks Vincent! yeah, i'm having a lot of fun trying to breathe some life into this franchise. I'm not 100% sure how relegation works, i just hope the hole hasn't been dug too deep for us. Lucky for me the team has a ton of cap space to play with.
 
And thanks for the trade Baden! i hope the pick and prospect turn up for you, and veteran goalie Kirby Agostini should fit in nicely here, having already recorded a win in his 1st start! Best of luck!!

Hey all!  I'm not exactly new, but I never did introduce myself.  I'm Mike Ciccone from Columbus, Ohio, and I'm managing the Colome Knights.  I did a lot of looking for a hockey management game before stumbling upon this one, and I can say I'm glad I found it.  I recommended it to a few people, including my brother (with the Reliance Renegades), and we've both been playing for about a year.  
 
So far, I took a franchise that was a perennial bottom-feeder in the LIHL to the GHL for the first time this season.  Hopefully I'll earn a shot at the championship in a couple seasons.  
 
Thanks, and best of luck to everyone!

@ Gregj Thanks thats what I figured.... slowly catching on 

Can you offer your players contract extensions?

Yes, but not everyone will be open to negotiations. Some will say that they are happy with their contract and leave it at that.

Always loved sports managment games since the first college hockey simulation I stumbled across right up until now.
