Current Season
We've just begun 2007-2008 (season 3).

Original Roster Pack
A Tafts roster file circa June 2005 that had thorough ceiling fixes done.

Magazine
League buzz article done monthly. A special league magazine is done for the trade deadline and draft.

Salary Cap
The NHA operates with a salary cap of $60 million. Teams may exceed the cap by 5% ($3 million), during the month of March and till the beginning of the next season.

Franchise Player
The "franchise player" is a tag that can be designated to any one player by the team GM. The salary of the franchise player will not count against the league cap; however, the player must be signed to at least a three-year contract and will be the franchise player for the duration of said contract. As well, an automatic no-trade clause will be applied to the contract upon designation.

Retirement System:
We have our own system, which takes into account the player's age and is conducted via a random dice roll.

UFA System:
The UFA signing period system being used by the league is closed bidding, via the forums. Bids are sent to the league e-mail (nhaoffice@gmail.com), a topic is then posted saying bidding has opened on a player. Team with the highest sent in bid after 48 hrs. wins the player.

EHM Knowledge
We definitely welcome beginners to online play. Knowledge is a plus, but not an absolute neccesity.

NHL-EHM Switch
Nah.
