What is the IIHL?

The International Ice Hockey League (IIHL) is an commercial ice hockey league simulation game, moving operations over from elsewhere to it's own dedicated forum.

The simulation plays out every pre-season game, regular season game, finals series game, arranges teams by divisional and league-wide ladders, and provides human players with the capacity to manage their team down to the individual player level, all the way from draft, through career progression and to their inevitable retirement, or until they are traded elsewhere. Human players compete against each other as team managers, all trying to push their team to be the very best in the league, and win it all.

The league operates on an excel based scorinator, custom designed from the ground up for the purpose of the operation of this league. It was designed from square one to provide a simulation similar to the experience one might get from playing a browser based game functioning in the same manner. Roleplay is welcome, but not required from any participants, and the simulator does not make any concessions or result changes of any kind to facilitate the roleplay desires of any individual.

The IIHL has been play-tested for 3+ seasons; the simulation has come a very long way, but the league is probably not quite functionally flawless- amendments for the purpose of balance, convenience or fun are made when necessary and are announced well in advance. Players are advised that while the league manager does his best to build a simulation with as much similarity to real world ice hockey as possible, there are limitations to what can be done with spreadsheets and numbers. Some familiar elements of ice hockey, such as injuries, fights, and penalties, are not represented in the simulation. Furthermore, occasionally changes are made away from realism to improve the function of the game itself.

Feel free to read around the site to find out more, or to ask questions either in IRC or on this forum.
League Manager.
