Ensinnäkin, peli on täysin ilmainen. Toiseksi, keskustelukielenä on englanti, vaikkakin komissaari onkin ruotsalainen tyyppi. Alla on hänen rekrytointikirjeesä:
Listen up, beloved NHL nerds! ❤ Do something productive with your NHL interest. Like winning the Stanley Cup for example!
Imagine all the Fantasy leagues that guys are doing nowadays. Add a simulation engine to simulate the entire season. Then add an annual Entry Draft to make it a sim league that can go on forever with real players only, where all 32 NHL teams are managed by real people from all over the world. Sounds fun, right? Well, it is!
Flamingo Hockey League is a super nerdy "NHL-rerate-manager-game-simulation-online-league" () that's based on the NHL and AHL. Completely free to play, and no annoying ads or garbage like that. Computer is recommended, phone is okay for necessary operations (web based). League is run non-profit with only 1 objective: That myself and 31 other people can have a super fun time with our NHL interest! And winning the Stanley Cup of course!
Right now we have 2 job openings, Columbus Blue Jackets and St. Louis Blues. We currently have 10 nationalities represented amongst our GMs (CAN, USA, FIN, SWE, NOR, RUS, CZE, SVK, GER, VNM), communication language is english. The FHL was started earlier this year, and we have simulated a shortened 2023-2024 season. Right now we are roughly 20 games into season 2. Rosters are still recognizable.
Great community, with a huge variety in GM experience. Some guys have done sim leagues for more than 20 years, others are rookie GMs.
How in the name of the hockey gods does this whole thing work?
Well, player development is completely based on real life statistics, where all players gets their simulation attributes updated after each NHL season. Players that have themselves a career in the NHL, will have themselves a career in the FHL. Your job is - just like a real life General Manager in the NHL - to get your hands on the players that will become great in the NHL.
Just like the NHL, we have an annual Entry Draft, where we draft players from the NHL Draft.
Just like the NHL, you trade players with other GMs.
Just like the NHL, we operate with a salary cap.
Just like the NHL, there are waiver rules.
Just like the NHL, you have to decide which of your players that deserves a new contract and not.
Just like the NHL, we have Free Agency.
Just like the NHL, season is between october and june, with Off Season activities during the summer.
Just like the NHL, regular season is 82 games with a best of 7 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Just like the NHL, you make Roster moves between Pro and Farm.
Unlike the NHL, you also decide your lines.
And unlike the NHL, we simulate a World Cup every summer!
Short version: We copied the NHL, and replaced the ice, arenas and players with a simulator (for financial reasons ). You will not find a more realistic General Manager experience than this, unless you actually are a General Manager in real life!
How much NHL nerd does one have to be in order to join?
Either you already have a huge interest for the NHL, or you will get one! You should know that a 1st round pick is typically worth more than a 5th round pick, and that there is a difference between a Restricted Free Agent and an Unrestricted Free Agent. In addition to this, you will learn a lot along the way!
What's required to join?
Computer is a huge benefit, even if a smart phone can do the job for you. You also need a discord account since we're doing all communication there (you can get discord as an app to your phone, program to your computer, and it can be run in your browser). You should also have 5-10 minutes available several times a week to keep up.
