Olympic Roster Announcement Thread

[Virtual Jarmo]

Zach Bogosian is on Team USA not Team Canada.......

He's listed as Canadian in the file. I guess I'll find someone to replace him this evening.

That's my bad, though I did post about it: http://ehechockey.com/forums/viewtopic. ... 540#p34540

I just forgot to fix it. Sorry for the mix-up, guys.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Remember there's no H&G in the Olympics. So there's that...

Correct. Posted here: http://ehechockey.com/forums/viewtopic. ... 510#p34510

My only line restriction will be that hit & grind will not be allowed. You're not going to see a lot of hitting on the big ice and there aren't a whole lot big hitters on most teams. Other than that, any tactic for any amount of time is fair game.

One other thing: Your backup goaltender must play at least one game. Coaches like to get the backup a game, generally against a weaker team, so I'd like to keep this idea in play for our sim.

Congrats to Taylor and Marc on making team Canada!

lol, heh, he wasn't even close to be honest. Had Telegin & Tarasenko ahead of him. Telegin would have made it over Burmistrov if H&G was allowed too, for the record.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Also added, physio Roald Dahl, of Norwegian descent and of course the author of such great children's books as James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Going to be a late night with the Olympic file. My procrastination caught up to me. Three teams entered so far. Going at a rate of about 10-15 minutes per team. 15 x 9 = 135 minutes. Hope to be done a little before 1.

[Virtual Jarmo]

A few tweaks left to make to the file, but it's pretty much complete.

Sweden v Czech Republic and Latvia v Switzerland tomorrow.

To those with teams, I appreciate your involvement so far and I hope it continues. I took a pretty good amount of time to make this file because I respect you guys, I respect the league, and I want to do what I can to uphold the standards that have been set for EHEC. As a result, I hope that you guys do your part by sending lines and instructions.

Here's how to access the file:

1. Download this: http://www.ehechockey.com/EHEC_Olympics.zip
2. Unzip the contents to your desktop.
3. Make sure you Run EHM as an Administrator.

Keep this EHM separate from your main EHM. By opening the EHM in this folder, you will be able to access the updated config_teams.ehm file that has changed the first 12 teams into the 12 countries participating in the Olympics. If you want to add an EHM shortcut to your desktop, rename the shortcut so that you don't get that EHM confused with your regular one, especially if you have other leagues.

Within that folder is the Olympics save file, which you can access in EHM. Following sims, you will update that Olympics savefile the same way you updated our nightly EHEC file.

I'm going to bed, but I'll be up early and I'll check for any questions you guys may have on how to get the file working. Pat should be around too and I think he'll be able to help.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Are we sending lines to you via PM, rather than using the GMCP?

Send them as email attachments. The old school way!

[SharksGM]

Good job, Adam. Bring it on, lesser nations of this world. It's time the Swiss said goodbye to neutrality and hello to, uh, probably relying on goaltending and a good 1st PP unit to have any hope of winning.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Go Austria! Time to supplant your previous greatest accomplishment: convincing the world that Beethoven was Austrian and Hitler a German.

Ok, so that probably won't change until Thomas Vanek gets cloned 20 times. But we're gonna try anyway.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Quick update: Had to fix the Swiss roster and decided to change the file name of the major upload to EHEC_Olympics.zip, because I'll run into issues with uploading just the savefile as Olympics.zip.

So the URL to get the Olympic file working is http://www.ehechockey.com/EHEC_Olympics.zip.

[Virtual Jarmo]

If you've already downloaded the huge file, here's the much smaller savefile with the updated Switzerland roster: http://www.ehechockey.com/Olympics.zip

For lines, send them either to commissioner[at]ehechockey.com or lines[at]ehechockey.com.

It is showing Callahan injured for 3 months still..........dont know if he will hit the line up but still

[Bruins_GM]

And my first game is against Canada?

[Virtual Jarmo]

As I posted, injured players will not be uninjured to play in the Olympics. You'll have to go with a roster of 22 since no changes can be made now that the games have started.

[Singin the BLUES]

I will just have to win it all with 22 guys that's all

[Parker]

Due to a roster size misunderstanding, Team Canada is forced to cut Ryan Murray and Milan Lucic from the roster. Sorry, guys.

Also, team captain and alternates have been announced:

Jarome Iginla (C)
Shane Doan (A)
Eric Staal (A)

Roberto Luongo will be an honorary/unofficial alternate captain.

[Montreal Canadiens]

Thanks for all the hardwork Adam! This thing is sweet, hopefully Russians on home ice do well.
