MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

The RHL Cup Finals ended up being a bit anti-climactic as Arizona outscores Boston 18-10 and the Coyotes win their third franchise Cup and the first under coach/GM Alex Lane. Boston had a hell of a season, but didn’t get the defense/goaltending a cup winner needs while Arizona gives up just 2.5 goals per game and only 1 in the deciding game of the series to win this one going away. Steven Stamkos who led the Coyotes and all players in socing for the playoffs is voted as this years Bob Nystrom Award winner for outstanding playoff performer. Congratulations to both teams for great seasons and really everyone else as we had a ton of close races and interesting playoff series to make it a good one. Season is just about complete, just finishing up voting on awards and props by next Sunday and then look for a final newsletter for the season and some time off in the summer though I will get working on a new RHL Excel soon as well so you can all start planning while we wait for the new files. Coaching records page updated as well. Thanks guys, let’s finish up the voting and end our 25th season strong!

Props ballot is alive and need all votes by next Sunday - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BPKYNLQ

Just a reminder the Awards ballot will stay live until the end of the next weekend and can be found here - https://shout.com/s/jyoaLkvM

The final playoff updated league file and Excel file is on the website.  Remember that all injuries this year are coaches decisions BUT all players are limited to the exact number of NHL games from last year, so plan accordingly.  If you are sending the same lineup for all 8 games then just a regular coach should work. If you want to set specific lineups for each game, then you need to use the Daily Lineups as it gives you a lot more flexibility. As soon as you have your coach set for your first 4 road games, please send that out to the list (and list who the coach is for so it is easier for teams to keep the ones they need).  Also, I would ask you PLEASE include your 4 home strats as well both for your sake and mine as if I have to sim your home games for any reason I will just let the game set up your strat if none is defined and you will have to deal with any penalties later on.  I am going to continue using the strat file page and upload everyones coaches to the website like I did in the past so they are easy to find when needed.

**** IMPORTANT  - Action PC Game File Update dated 10/16/2024.

You need to send out game exports as well as boxscores for all 4 home games by the second Sunday of the block at 9 pm This is MANDATORY, both the exports AND boxscores please.   Game summaries are nice, even if it’s just one quick comment for all 4 games, just adds to the league and makes it easier for everyone to see what is going on.  If I do not receive game exports after sending updates on Saturday and Sunday, I will send one more request directly about an hour before the deadline on Sunday.  Unless I get a request for an
extension of time, I will wait til the deadline and about 30 minutes later I will sim games so I can get new files out before I go to bed Sunday night.
