I don't know if it's possible or if anyone wants this, but if the process drags on too long, is there any possibility of releasing this without the NHL players so those who use custom or historical options can use FHM9?

The only way we'd released an unlicensed version is if the license renewal broke down completely and we walked away, which is something neither they nor we want. It'd be very messy from our side, too, having to pull stuff from the game, re-do all of our FHM9 marketing materials, probably pull previous licensed versions of FHM from sale, etc.
But that's a very remote possibility. They've been quite accomodating and have agreed to some shortcuts in the usual process to speed things along. The point we're at right now is basically the most streamlined way of doing this that's possible, but there are still some checkoffs that are unavoidable.
And just to clarify, it's not the player names that're covered by the licensing, it's the NHL's properties - logos, uniforms and such.
