I've managed a Place of Birth baseball theme league for years so this is my inaugural attempt at hockey.

Choose a country/province & compile your entire roster of players born there.

I have identified 12 teams listed below  that will be used & I'm going to allow only 2 versions of each team.

League Rules:

• $100 million cap
• Any season in the WIS database eligible.
• NO: Trades, ML, clones, ww, PI
• YES:  Relaxed Rosters, Ties
• Max players out: 2
• Arena must come from your Country/Province or if none available use a home arena from any player on your roster.
• Random division alignment with standard playoff format.

Use the following link for a list of players born in your country/province:

Long story and many Americans play on the leafs.

I'm working on my Sweden team & should have a league # by the end of the week.  Debating on whether to make it public or private.  I understand public leagues fill quicker but typically you have people enter invalid teams.
