Amateur Hour (FULL!!!!) Topic

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Everett Silvertips home opener and watch Goon all in the same night. It really captured a passion for the minors!

This league will pay tribute to some of the great players that came up through the ranks of the Ontario Hockey League, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, and Western Hockey League.

Choose an exclusive team from the list provided, and draft your team with players from your city and/or teams. All 23 players on your roster must have played at least 1 game from an amateur team in your city.

Franchise history is acceptable for combo teams/cities and will cause some duplication of franchises.

League Rules:
  • $125 million cap
  • NO: Clones, PI, Trades, WW
  • YES: Injuries (max 2 out), Average ML, Relaxed Rosters
  • Use arena from your exclusive city or one available in your Provence/State. If one isn't available use home arena from any player on your roster.
  • Standard 24 team league & playoff format.
  • Team name must include city so we know who you are!
Sign up is first come, first serve by posting your city in the forum.

Use the following link for eligible players. We'll only use the "Major Junior" teams/cities, no minor league teams, or college.

I'm in.  Mulling over a few different US college options yet.
I hadn't looked through colleges or WHA teams as I was trying to keep it simple.  If you look at the list of Major Junior teams on the link I provided you can see some of the eligible teams.

Just looked at Laval, Quebec, they have Bossy & Super Mario.  That might not be fair!
10/30/2015 3:53 PM
Ok, I'm still in.
10/30/2015 4:40 PM
I'll stay south of the border and take Portland, OR

Messier, Glen Wesley and Cam Neely with some nice supporting pieces.
10/30/2015 4:52 PM (edited)
I will take London
10/30/2015 5:10 PM
Good choice Poddy!

Will finish posting the rest of the teams tonight. Lots of good ones left including Sault Ste. Marie, Saskatoon, Sudbury, Saint Catharine's, Swift Current, Toronto, & Windsor!
10/30/2015 7:22 PM (edited)
Hull/Gatineau Olympiques if thats ok
10/30/2015 9:36 PM
I'm fine with that Skipper. Was looking into some combo teams-cities to make them more competitive like my Seattle team for example.

Not that Tacoma & Everett offer much help!

Hockey Reference only has lists of players from Major Junior leagues so we're going to base the available teams off that list.  If somebody can provide a link to a more comprehensive "minor league" hockey teams that would be great!
11/1/2015 2:17 AM
Okay. Kitchener Ont. and if defence gets the SIM nod, this oughtta be a lu lu
