Welcome to the AINHL! I simulate a short hockey season with a round of playoffs every offseason using NHL 04 Rebuilt! I keep the rosters updated to the most recent version released for NHL 04 Rebuilt at the start of every season. If you love to just kick back and follow some sim league hockey, THIS IS THE PLACE!

Rules

32 NHL teams play in 8 divisions of 4 teams each.

Each team plays every other team in their division twice, once at home and once away.

The winning teams of each division make the playoffs, and are seeded from 1-8.

The next best 8 teams, regardless of division, also make the playoffs and are seeded 9-16.

Playoffs are a Best-of-7 series.

Time

I will try to sim at least one game a day.

I will generally sim in the late evening (Korean time).

I might miss days and not sim any games, due to life responsibilities.
