THL2 is an online league using the EHM Freeware game. THL2 has been around for 8 seasons which amounts to about 3 years in real time.

Go to THL2.com to see more about the league.

Playing in an online league really adds so much more depth to a game like EHM. You wont be able to pull off lopsided trades against a team controlled by the computer. You have 29 other GMs that will keep you on your toes when it comes to trading, drafting etc along with trying to win the Cup or rebuild your team to do so in the future. It is exciting and sometime stressful to be a GM in an online league, but it sure beats being Monday morning quarterback...come see if you can do a better job than most GMs in the NHL.

Unfortunately the EHM Freeware community has had a downfall mostly due to the release of the commercial EHM version, which proved not to be very Online League friendly and is now no longer in development. THL2 is now concentrating on getting active GMs back in the league to we can continue on.

Dont be discouraged if you have never played the EHM Freeware version or been in an online league, as there is plenty of friendly and helpful GMs to help you take your first step and answer questions about the game. We have had many rookie GMs start out in THL2 who now know the game inside out.

Timewise, being in a league like THL2 will require a minimum of an hour or two a week, but for a lot of people a lot more time is being put into it, depending on the time of the season.

THL2 sims 3 times a week which means we sim around 3 seasons in a calendar year. This makes rebuilding or development of prospects that much more attractive, since you can see the fruit of your labor.

I urge anyone who feels up for it to apply @ apply@thl2.com (teams available at the bottom of this post). Should you have any questions about EHM or the league or just want more info, feel free to contact me on MSN at bigjaybjus@hotmail.com.

so ehm software? is that just EHM because i am thinking of joining because i have EHM 2007 with the 3.04 patch

GregC

THL2 does not use NHL:EHM 2007 or any other version of NHL:EHM.

We use the freeware version, which can be downloaded here. Make sure you get version 1.16.

The freeware version is much easier to understand, and most of the GMs are vets who can help you.

kermit

Do you need EHM to join?

GregC

Yes, but again, it is the older, freeware version, so it won't cost you anything.

And if you are unfamiliar with how the freeware version works, there are plenty of us in the league that will be happy to help.

well everytime i try to download it it says it is courrpted or something

wildrule

So you guys are startign all over again?

Mad Croat

Nope, we just finished the entry draft and are starting the UFA part of the next season within the next week

We are about to start the 2010/2011 season

We have many young current NHL star players like Ovechkin, Crosby, Malkin, The Staal brothers and many more in our team rosters!

The unique thing about EHM is that it will create & generate future players for the entry draft. We have begun to edit in former NHL'ers last names for junior players giving the league a flavor of old time players names. Names like Kindrachuk, Tanti, Stephenson, Bossy, Lafleur and many others.

Do you have the game wildrule?

Are you interested in joining?

Post any questions you may have

Thanks
