I'm pleased to announce the start of Challenge 24! This time around we're using the Swift Current Broncos of the WHL. The latest release of the Manimal rosters has seen a great deal of work done to the WHL, so now it's finally time that we run a challenge using a WHL team. Swift Current is a team that is in a horrible state! They don't have much talent and their prospect pool isn't that promising either. This is going to be a real challenge! I've set this challenge to run for 2 months but we can definitely extend it if interest continues.
Please make sure to use Manimal Rosters 4.2B for this!
Users can play the Challenge in one of two ways:
1) Use the CSD Patch with a start date of 2011.
2) Without the CSD Patch using the non-patched rosters which were uploaded on 18 June 2012. The non-patched rosters uploaded prior to 18 June should not be used.
Please check the links in the Challenge Center for our challenge rules. Even if you've participated in a challenge before, it's always good to give the rules another read through, especially in regards to the WHL, since we haven't done many Junior Hockey challenges.

Also, there are some difference between the WHL and the other CHL leagues. Batdad gave us a quick explanation...
batdad wrote:Draft out of Bantam *age 14*. Those players in EHM are then not eligible to come to camp, sign or play for the team until they are 16. In other words they MUST play a year after you draft them before you are allowed to sign them in the game and have them play for your team.
The rest of it is the same as other CHL leagues--50 man lists, 2 imports, 3 20 year olds.
No other different rules in EHM from OHL-Q-WHL than the draft age.
