Premier Pivot Rosters v5.3 (2020/21) Released

Version 5.3 of the Premier Pivot Rosters for 2020/21 is now available on Steam (click here for details and the download link)! The rosters are available in two “editions” this year with one option being a 31 team NHL/AHL like last season and the second option being a 32 team NHL/AHL with Seattle and Palm Springs added to the NHL and AHL respectively. If you would like to use the 32 team edition then you will need to go to the relevant Steam Workshop folder (usually [YOUR STEAM INSTALLATION FOLDER]\SteamApps\workshop\content\301120\1428241604) and rename the relevant database to ‘database.db’.

Changelist:

Note: I purposely have NOT included any league structure changes specifically to deal with COVID-19. Most league structures and club counts are the same as they were in 2019-20. Some future changes have been made early (ex: NCAA). This includes affiliation changes for NHL/AHL/ECHL, they are the same as 2019-20.
