"Experience the feeling of the NHL"

Welcome graphic

Looking for something different?
Tired of the same old boring leagues with the same old boring rules?

Well, your search has ended....
The N.E.H.L. is entering it's 13th year and was created for the player who is looking for a challenge, something fun, and definitely different from the other leagues out there! We are now the longest running PC hockey league on the internet!
 
Let's face it.... there can only be ONE champion each season..... a league has to be more than just about winning.....
 
We provide that.
 
We will put your playing and G.M. abilities to the ultimate test and are home to some of the best (and also the most sportsmanlike) players/general managers on the internet!
 
It won't be easy.....
Your fellow General managers are seasoned veterans.
but I guarantee you it will be REWARDING and the most FUN you have ever had in an online hockey league!
Whether you are in the middle of a playoff race, charging for a playoff spot, fighting to capture a division title, or out of the playoff hunt altogether, you will always have tough decisions to make!
 
We provide all the tools.... It's up to you to take them, twist and bend them, explore all the in's and out's, with more wheeling and dealing than you have ever done (We love to trade!) in any other league before.... until you have assembled a Stanley Cup contender. 
A good general manager, who knows his stuff, can turn his team around faster in this league than any other.
 
How much time you can devote to the league is up to you! The N.E.H.L. computer handles your team for you when you can't.
Already in another league? No problem, the NEHL is perfect for running a second team!
 
Irresponsible (or lazy) owners ruining your gaming experience are a thing of the past. We have full rules covering picking up and playing league games in a timely manner!
 
We offer a full 82 game schedule (plus playoffs) with games against both computer and human owners.
 
Our gameplay settings are becoming famous for creating a competitive and fun environment to play in, year after year!
We don't tie your hands with too many "sim rules" nor do we allow cheese ball players to rain supreme. I guess you could call us a "Hybrid" league.....
You will truly feel like you are part of a professional league. 
 
For the General manager in you:
We have full trading between both human and/or computer teams as well as an easy to use (and follow) salary system and free agency!
Making trade offers to the CPU General managers is almost as much fun as making trade offers to a human G.M. 
The CPU G.M. isn't a pushover. He is looking for the best deals just like his human counterparts! 
 
Even though we are a PC "keeper league" you can still have ties to your favorite team....
You automatically inherit the draft picks made by your "real life" N.H.L. counterparts. For instance, if you took Chicago, you would have "inherited" players such as  Kane, Patrick and Toews, Jonathan!
 
There are a lot of good leagues on the internet, but you won't find
one that runs any smoother or is better organized than this one.
Our league boasts a server uptime of 98% and will debut our
brand new web site in October!
 
We finished our playoffs a month early....
Did your current league?
 
Give us a try....
You won't be disappointed.
 
Now accepting owners for the upcoming season.
See below under "NEHL News" and fill out an application if you are interested in joining! Due to the unique setup of this league we can always ensure good teams are available to potential new owners.
