Backyard NHL / Re: Blues will not return
« on: April 06, 2022, 03:03:10 AM »
This was what we tried to do with this league. Make it the most realistic as possible.

It?s just too much work to keep it running the way it is setup.  I was involved in building and help run this league in the beginning 6+ years.  It?s a lot of work. Jmtrops will need at least 2 others helpers to make it work. I appreciate what he and others have done.

Too bad most of the people here didn?t get to experience how the league was in the beginning.
TONY! The glory days of BNHL were the :soapbox: but unfortunately not something many of us are able to keep up with anymore :(

Sorry guys that the league has become as it has. I started this league a long long time ago and it is my little baby but unfortunately I was unable to look after it anymore. I thank everyone who has tended to it over the years. I am in favour with whatever anyone in charge or wants to be charge has to do to keep it alive but definitely hurts when my unique rule set and realism is lost.

Here is my story if you want to hear it haha. I started this league back in 2011 (almost 11 years ago!). I was a university student so obviously I wanted to keep my mind off of school work as much as possible. During those first 5 years, the league grew and developed into one of the top leagues on the site with such in depth knowledge of the owners and commitment (we rarely had turn off, like 1 or 2 teams a season). We had things like record books, statistics, weekly power rankings, a betting system, and many other things. Since my university days, I have now been a high school teacher for about 7 years and thus my amount time to the league has dramatically decreased. Add into that a few moves and now 3 kids, my time on the league and the website as a whole is nearly non-existant. BNHL was an amazing experience in my life to see something I developed and turn into something where many people enjoyed coming and chatting and competing. Thanks for all the memories within BNHL and maybe catch you all in a bar somewhere for a drink one day.

This isn't a goodbye from me but rather an official goodbye to the baby I created as it evolves into something else haha. Do what you need to keep it running the best you can as I know the time and commitment that goes into running a league of this depth and capacity.

Just checking here. But if this was an IR contract then you can either release back to free agency or else you would have to sign him then send him down.

    Today at 12:18:36 AM
