MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMISSIONER
Season #27 is ready to go. Nice to have
everyone back this year and hopefully we are ready to go with our much
earlier start, which is great to see as we’ve missed this for a few
years. Look forward to seeing what everyone has this year and
hopefully we will have a good season with everyone staying on top of
things. Please make sure you watch your usage closely and feel free to
do coaches for more than just the current block if you want to. We are
starting the season with two regular two week blocks, then will have 3
weeks for Thanksgiving before 1 more regular leading up to the
holidays. Anyone needs help or knows they will be away, let me know
asap so we can keep us all on the same page. Good luck to all and
let’s have a great season!
The regular
season is ready to begin and the updated league file and Excel file
are 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 coaches 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 coach if none is
defined and you will have to deal with any penalties later on.
I am going to continue using
the coach file page and upload everyone’s 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 10/15/2026.
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.
