Attention new GM's! (and old ones too)

I was having a discussion with a fellow GM about a member of the long time EHM community, fhockey.com. The GM made the remark that most of the GMs in this league wouldn't know who he was, since the forums at FHockey have been very quiet the last few years. Which got me to thinking, the same GMs in this league might know how valuable a resource the FHockey forums are. I still scroll through and search for information on EHM and all it's quirks.

I've compiled the "best of" of threads from the "General Questions" forum at Fhockey. There is more knowledge about the game in different sub-forums at Fhockey, and should be considered a great resource for new and old GMs. Even myself found out a few things I didn't know during the process of compiling worthy threads. I hope this improves the knowledge and EHM IQ throughout EHEC, and we will continue to see strong growth and development in the quality of GMs we have. Part of the reason I did this is because I feel we recently hired some quality people and I hope they are in EHEC for the long haul.

LINE TACTICS
What makes good line chemistry

I will continue to update this thread. I'm enjoying searching through other forums and finding information. Happy EHM'ing!

Very important:
however, you're saying to train their weak points, and let their strengths develop on their own?
I even forget about that sometimes and get carried away.

Also, click is real. *cough* Marc Savard *Cough*

Also, if you have a guy who is retiring, over 72OA, CON over 80 and greed under 100 [preferably under 90], if you play him on the farm, he will become angry and his "retiring" status will change to "wants to play on the pro team," thus unretiring him in-game! Just a little food for thought.
This is the best thing I've read today. :lol:

Good to see people are finding it useful. I debated just quoting the relevant posts, but I thought GMs need to make some effort to dig out the good stuff. While the info is useful, nothing replaces testing it out for yourself!

Agreed. And there's enough disagreement (and some head-scratching) to still keep everyone guessing.

Anybody else want to own up to being an fhockey old-timer? :)

I wonder whatever happened to some of those guys. Hrudey, Rage, Greg, 12# Peter Bondra, Grind Your Soul. They were around forever and then just disappeared.

I know Mr. Peter Bondra was in ITC forever, then he just got burned out and quit EHM, moved on in life. Me & him basically ran the thing, we were the 2 simmers and handled everything. Grind Your Soul is Jer, Jeremy, who I still talk to occasionally on facebook. Lost the drive for it when ITC shutdown, now has a kid, so don't see him ever coming back, but amazing GM, did a lot for ITC too.

Only on quoted posts pre-change. And it's killing me there, too, but I'm too lazy to fix it.

Fixed.

Koltsy, although I was never a big poster. Had joined when I was 16, 2004. I still talk to JayzinSmith, although he's sworn off EHM leagues for awhile now. :cry:
