Why I ask: in my playing for the Canadiens, which I also started with the 1909-10 season, and now entering the 1917-18 season (the first NHL season) there are still rovers playing in both leagues, and still no Stanley Cup draws between clubs in the two leagues. Although there were reports in the news before the seasons about the rovers being canceled and the Stanley Cup games being set up.
I can't figure out if this is some bug in my game or save, or if I need to change these things myself. That said, I haven't found an undo rovers button in the league editor.

Thanks for following along. I have not changed any settings in the league structure. The Stanley Cup did not appear to be played the first couple of seasons but did show up with the NHA/PCHL in 1913-14 and has continued since. It is tricky to find sometimes as I believe if you are in the PCHA and click the drop down where the Stanley Cup section is you see nothing, but if you are in the NHA league and do so it is visible there, at least until the NHA is folded.
I did notice that once the NHA disappeared it appears any of the Stanley Cup history from 1913-14 until 1916-17 also vanished as once you get to the NHL the Stanley Cup history only goes back as a far as 1917-18.
I assume it is tricky for the developers to integrate the Stanley Cup with *multiple leagues and maybe there is a way to view those early Cup results but I have not found one. What I can do is confirm that in my sim the Stanley Cup was contested for beginning with the 1913-14 season.
As for rover, I am not certain. I am simming very quickly right now to get to the late 1940s/early1950s when I plan to slow down a bit, so I did not check but I was going by the information listed in the July 1 emails as well as taking some of the real history and adding it in. Therefore I cannot say for certain whether the rover was actually eliminated as the email stated.
