Creating an NHL style league in the UK?

Would it be possible or could someone create or be able to create an NHL style league in the UK? Happy to speak privately if someone is willing to help.
Just looing for the EIHL to expand and have around as many games as the NHL, but no drafts but also have a relegation spot which would drop in to another created league and possibly another below that? Tbh unsure if there would be enough teams?? Also how easy is it to add a new team in to the base game? Thanks!
Will also post this in the db section!

Please don't spam our forums with the same query over and over.

Yes it is possible to do so. You'd need to use the EHM Editor to edit the Rules & Structure and Schedule Template for the EIHL to follow the setting in the NHL. If you go with a league split into divisions like the NHL then it's difficult to enable promotion/relegation with another league (it might be possible to do this with an annual re-alignment of the league but I wouldn't try looking into this until you've got the rest of your structure up and running). I wrote a guide here on how to create a 24 team / 4 division league: https://www.reddit.com/r/EHM/comments/b ... _playable/

It is easy to add new teams in a database using the EHM Editor. The Editor can be found here: https://ehmtheblueline.com/editor
