NationStates College and Youth Hockey Season I
Its finally that time of year, as we settle into December, the snow falls over the lands, the college football season wraps up and the hockey arenas light up. The Zamboni machines blast their engines, laying down new ice onto the arnea floor. The cracked Plexiglass, there since day one once again is tasked with absorbing the fans. The smell of beer and drinks fill the air, a championship banner rises into the rafters. The announcer clears his throat, the lights shone down on you... You grab your gloves, your stick, you skate out to center ice, its that time of year.
Woop, woop! Welcome to the first ever edition of NationStates College and Youth Hockey, here, you will be able to post your team's rosters and do all of their in-character role-plays. OOC comments, questions and concerns should be kept to the OOC thread.

After all twenty conference games, a Conference champion shall be crowned. Games will be scorinated give times a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Score cutoffs will be decided by each conference host.
Following all twenty conference games, there will be ten non-conference or inter-conference games. These games will have no affect on the conference championships, however, they shall affect the postseason qualifiers, [ i.e., Team A wins Star Conference, however, loses all non-conference games, drops to fifth place and out of playoffs, still retains Conference Championship ].
The postseason format is as followed: Each conference shall have their separate postseason playoff to see who will qualify for the NSCYH Championship Series. The individual conference postseason games shall be best-of-3 series. The winners of each conference's playoffs shall sqaure off in a best-of-7 held on neutral territory.
