Quebec City Nobles (eNHL)
After spending nearly all my sports sim time in Out of the Park Baseball, I decided it was time to give Franchise Hockey Manager 12 a real test drive - especially since I’m diving back into the NHL for the first time since around 1992. Of course, being a sim game, I couldn’t resist making a few tweaks to make it my own. I expanded the league by four teams, reorganized the conferences into three divisions each, and did some realignment that will probably make the traditionalists squirm a bit.
The new franchises are the Indianapolis Mustangs, Baltimore Blue Crabs, Quebec City Nobles, and Portland Beavers. For this project, I’ll be taking the helm in Quebec City - most likely steering the Nobles straight into the (frozen) ground - and chronicling the season game by game.
We’ll start with today’s matchup, November 3, 2025. But before we hit the ice, here’s a quick look at how things stand so far. I’ll introduce players as we go - no long preambles, just getting right to it.
Yeah, we’re pretty good (so far)…
