Well the end of the first season has come. My team, the Ottawa 90s, boasted the ATHL's first-ever leading scorer (and rookie of the year), Mario Lemieux. Lemieux outscored the likes of Ovechkin, Crosby, and the Great One himself to capture the title with 35 goals and 47 assists for 82 points in 60 games. He led the league in both goals and assists.
The LA 80s dominated the regular season, with the 10s, the 60s, and our 90s rounding out the playoffs. We played out of our minds to upset the top-seeded 80s 3 games to 1, and met the mighty London 10s in the inaugural ATHL Cup. It was a hard-fought battle, but the 10s took it in five games for the initial championship.
The draft features fictional players, but I added in six more (when you add players in at 17, apparently they play two seasons before becoming draft eligible) historical players: John Vanbiesbrouck, Braden Holtby, Auston Matthews, Maurice Richard, Pierre Turgeon, and Aaron Ekblad.
The new crop of players to draft at the end of season 2 includes: Mike Richter, Theo Fleury, Ed Belfour, Nathan MacKinnon, Ron Hextall, and Keith Tkachuk. I signed my third overall pick, a fictional defenseman named Donnie Holland. He's currently competing with a 23-year-old Derian Hatcher for ice time. Holland is a full star better, but the game ratings suggest Hatcher still holds an edge.
