2 teams available
Tuesday, September 9, 2008 2:19 PM - After the defection of Captain_Stealth and Trizzak to Nashville and Toronto, the HWL now finds itself with two available teams. St.Louis is a very young up-and-comer. After years of toiling in the basement of the League, the Blues have gathered a solid group of young guns. Can you guide this team to the playoffs without destroying the core of young players? Calgary is an HWL heavyweight and Stanley Cup champions in 2009. It has a great mix of young and experienced players and are perhaps just 1 or 2 star players away from being the League's top dog again. Can you make this team repeat without mortgaging the future? If you are up to the challenge, want to prove your mettle as an NHL GM and can spend enough hours weekly to stay up-to-date, then apply to be a GM. Join in on the fun with a whole bunch of other crazy, dysfunctional, competitive and friendly GMs!

10.07.2008 - 7th HWL Season
So, has it been awhile since this was updated?  Trizzak's Flames took home the cup in season five, while Stealth's Canucks went all the way in season 6.  Many GMs have come and gone in the last couple seasons, while others have simply changed teams.  Tony took over as Commish last season after Alex stepped down.  Controversy has continued to flourish in the league, it wouldn't be the same without it.  With so many competitive GMs, tempers will always flare up now and then.  A weak 2010 draft has some wondering whether the 2011 draft class will be markedly better or will continue a downward trend.  Can GMs adapt to their new teams?  Will GMs kiss and make up?  Can David bring the Canucks their third HWL Cup with as many GMs?  There are answers to all the questions.  I, however, do not know what they are.  Yet.

27.06.2007 - 5th HWL SEASON
As the league begins its 5th season, let's first look back on our 4th year.  Rookie GM CaliHabsFan took his Tampa Bay club on a great ride to the finals.  In the end, however, Commish Alexstream's Ducks proved too powerful, winning the Cup in seven games.  As we look to this new season, the league welcomes three new GMs:  Icodato in Atlanta, reggievenne in Montreal, and TorontoGM in, well, Toronto.  The league has lost David B, Fanpuck33, and revvvrob from the Commish Team,  but things are looking up in Alex's administration, as a new draft program promises to reduce the work involved in creating the draft class, thus allowing the players to be input much earlier.  Will the Ducks repeat?  Will the mighty southeast rise to the top once again?  Only season five will tell us...

29.11.2006 - 4th HWL SEASON
The league's third season is now a thing of the past, with the Carolina Hurricanes staging a remarkable comeback in the Stanely Cup Finals, stunning the Columbus Blue Jackets, who led the series three games to one.  As we move on to our 4th season, we have some new faces and some old faces in new cities.  CaliHabsFan takes over in Tampa Bay, while Macaskill moves on to the New York Rangers.  Trizzak has taken over in Calgary.  Mils makes the move from Toronto to Chicago while Captain_Stealth heads from Minnesota to Vancouver.  Minnesota and Toronto hope to find new GMs soon.  The HWL Commish team has welcomed Tex into their ranks, to provide another voice of wisdom.  Good luck to everyone in season four and may the best GM drink from the Cup!

08.08.2006 - ALL-STAR BREAK OUTLOOK
As HWL reaches the All-Star break in its third season, the Florida Panthers own the league's best record, followed closely by Anaheim and Montreal. Also in the hunt for the President's Trophy are division rivals Chicago and Columbus, the former overcoming the loss of their GM in the offseason. Out East, Carolina and Washington are in position to make their debut appearances in the HWL playoffs. In the West, San Jose fans have recovered from last seasons Shark tanking are attempting to get the 4 seed in the conference. The league is also proud to announce that all teams in the league currently have a GM, though some appear to be on the hot seat.

Unknown.2006 - Habsworld League’s 2nd season has come and gone.
With it, many great memories. Dave’s Senators would capture the 2nd ever HWL Cup, after defeating Dlbalr’s Coyotes in an exciting seven game series. The 2006 entry draft also took place, from Vancouver. Hard-hitting defensemen Erik Johnson was chosen first overall by the St Louis Blues, followed by Staal and Towes who went in order to Carolina. To cap off the 2006 season, was a somewhat quiet but nevertheless exciting off season. Several big trades occurred in this period of time, including Forsberg moving to Bean-Town. The pre-season has now begun, and all thirty franchises are gearing up for HWL’s 3rd season. Who will be victorious? Only time will tell.

10.12.2005 - 2nd HWL Season
The 2005/06 season is under way and the first games already showed us that anything can happen. There aren't any clear favourites this year, which should provide us with an exciting season and lots of great games.

One team is currently open as Vancouver Canucks GM puck 7x (1st HWL Champion) recently resigned from his job due to time problems.

16.10.2005 - Vancouver Canucks 1st HWL Champion
Congratulations to GM puck7x, who guided his Vancouver Canucks to the 1st ever HWL Stanley Cup!

Furthermore, I want to thank all the GM's for a great first season and hopefully the 2nd will be even better.

Special thanks to ap79, Macaskill, alexstream, Guy!, sakiqc, kerplunk, David B and all the other guys who provided us with quality help and free time.
