Romford are technically in London, and are playable in EHM as part of the English Premier League.
Streatham, Lee Valley and Haringey are all London teams playing in the English National League, not playable in game but very watchable if you are in London

Here's some update of my Sheffield game:

Just smashed the Panthers during Elite Cup préliminaries
Finished 2nd during Euro Challenge Tour preliminaries. At least I'm proud that we're the only team to beat the 1st one, Red Bulls.

Battling good in the EIHL. This season the teams seems to be well balanced. For now only 1-2 pts difference between 1st and 7th places or so.

My lines looks like that:

J.LaVallee- D.Tessier- A.Butkus
P.Hill- M. Weiss- S.Thornton
J.Ryan - L.Greig - C.Wiggins
A.Hemmings - L.Mitchell - Y.Charette

M.Love - P.Hendry
I.Manzano - R.Darby
J.Bell - S.Oakfield

A.Carpano
J.Watkins

My backups are: Y.Abu Saada and G. Wishart. I also got a deal with Scimitar's Gary Clarke.

I've spread my scoring talent on all lines. The 1st and 2nd are my workhorses but the others ones can score too.

Good to see you are still carrying on your game with the Steelers, holydogg. :thup: I'm about to start a game with them I think, but I am not sure - the unfaking database is still horribly inaccurate with British hockey. :thdn:

I like to play smaller leagues sometimes and when I like a game, I can play several seasons before being bored! ^^

I'm now in my third season, I'm already planning my fourth. I've scouted a decent half-brit d-man playing in N-A. His name is Willard I think (not sure). If I can squeeze some cash, he'll be a nice 2nd or 3rd pairing.

Some updates:

I'm now 1st, and I smashed several times Calv and Archi's favorites ;)
At the start of the season Carpano was struggling and Watson was doing great, so I splitting goaltending time between my 2 cerberas. During Euro challenge Carpano finally woke up and has fully retaken his #1 spot. I got tons of offer for Watson, I finally sold him to Coventry Blaze and he seems doing a nice job, they were last when they got him and they're now 6th or so.

My almighty d-man newcomer Mitch Love isn't performing as I was expecting. Frankly, I think he got the Malakhovitis or maybe he's doesn't like crumpets and he got intestinal cramps :p
I doubt resign him.. :dunno:

My forwards are doing good. My first line LaVallee-Tessier-Butkus is beginning to slump a bit. But Tess and Lavallee still manage to get more than 1 ppg average.
My 2nd centre, Martin Weiss wasn't doing well, so I swapped him with my secret lil' boy Liam Greig. Greig is now doing a nice job on the 2nd line while Weiss is still playing on PP.


Here's some british flegmatic performance, national pride is highly encouraged ;)

Shawn Thornton, the man who quitted after some harsh discussion last season and agreed to came back. He's my captain and he's currently my hottest player. He,s performing better than Tessier.

Paul Hendry is currently the British Sheldon Souray, he's leading the d-man for Goals and battling for leading scorer.
