My name is Jeff Hixon. I was a league member a couple of years ago as Philadelphia. I had to drop out because of some serious health issues with my wife. She is much better now and I can't wait to get back into the swing of things. I am also in the HFCHL, and before that a stint in the old enhl where I was the BlackHawks. I am a life long Chicago BlackHawks fan growing up just outside of Chicago. I now live in SpringHill, FL, just north of Tampa. I look forward to leading the Hawks in the new version of the league. My email address is [e-mail]

Hi all.  I'm Dave, GM of the Rangers.  I was one of the original GMs in the original GHL but took a year or 2 off here and there as life changes occurred (jobs, kids).  I created the GM-voted GHL Awards (taken over by Flavio) as well as the GHL Hall of Fame.  I intend to work with Flavio and/or anyone else on those in the new GHL, too.  

I am a lifelong Rangers fan.  I grew up in Staten Island, NY and I currently live in Montville, NJ with my wife and 3 kids.

I am also a fan of the following (in no particular order):

Asimov's Foundation and Robot series (books)
Silicon Valley (TV show)
Homicide (TV show)
Seinfeld (TV show)
Brooklyn 99 (TV show)
Airplane and Airplane 2 (movies)
2001 A Space Odyssey (movie and book)
Rudy (movie)
Big Bang Theory (TV show)
NY Rangers (NHL)
Chelsea FC (EPL)
Queens Park Rangers (EPL - we have family in England who are big QPR supporters)
NY Red Bulls (MLS)
NY Giants (NFL)
NY Knicks (NBA)
NY Mets (MLB)
FC Barcelona (La Liga)

My name is Paul Sousa. I have been in this league for a few seasons. I'm also in INHL5 and RLHL Leagues. Lots of fun there. I migrated to the USA when I was 6. I'm originally from Sao Miguel Island, Azores (belongs to Portugal). I am 40 years old. Married with 3 kids. I work as a Machine Technician. I also play Xbox 360 to unwind after a long day at work. I live near Boston, Massachusetts. I'm a huge fan of any Boston Team. I've been a Bruins, Celtics and Patriots since 1987. I was a Braves fan at first for baseball until the 1990/91 season when I went to Fenway Park. Ever since then I became a Sox fan. Don't care much for the winters here as they can be brutal. Any trade talks. Just send a PM. Thanks and lets have some fun here.

No kidding.  You guys got slammed this past winter.

[Stephen (League Admin)]

I'm Stephen.
I started playing EHM in the original EHM league run by Shakes all them many years ago. 14 in fact. Being run from the US and having a requirement to be online for live sims, and me being from the UK, I couldn't really stay in that league so I decided to start my own and GHL was born.

I'm 41 and normally I work as an Ice Rink manager, though I think I managed to piss off the entire Ice Rink community here and don't think I'll be working in anything but a temporary Christmas rink again any time soon.

I'm a Calgary Flames fan, simply because I went to Calgary in 1990 when they were the current champions and that was force fed to me. Someone once said they could get me a signed players shirt and asked what player I would like. I said, Harvey the Hound. Players come and go. Harvey lasts forever.

Hey guys, talked to Stephen and I will be taking over LA. My name is Josh Lewis and I live in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Born and raised here. Spent the last six years in Saskatchewan and just moved back a few months ago. Now 28. I've been in many EHM leagues and this looks like a great group of GMs. I appreciate a league that can stay alive as long as this one has. I like the sense of history as well. I spend a lot of time on an offline file where I moved all the teams to Europe. Started the file in 2008 (real life). The first season was 2001-02 and I'm currently in 2085. So I've spent a lot of time learning all of EHM's little secrets. Looking forward to getting involved!

[NY Rangers (Dave)]

Good to have you, Josh. Welcome.

Welcome aboard, Josh!

Hi guys, i'm damien and i'll be taking over the Blues. I'm from Montreal, but I currently live in Switzerland with my girlfriend. She's doing her doctorate in statistics and i'm here for my masters in statistics.

I was in a couple of leagues back in 2005-2007, so i might be a bit rusty .

Nice to know all of you!

And Dave, the Foundation series is my favorite.

[NY Rangers (Dave)]

Swtizerland! Well that's a country the old GHL never got into. Good to have you.

The watchmaking capitol of the world.

And chocolate.

And neutrality.

[Deleted]

Yeah, well for me, it's mostly chocolate.

And cheese.

And chocolate.

Hello all.

My name is Kent and I'm the new GM for the Nashville Predators. I've been involved in EHM sim leagues for about 10 years, but I've been on and off in that time frame. I'm 23 years old and just recently graduated university in Ottawa, Ontario. I'm living in Ottawa but originally from Guelph, Ontario. I'm looking forward to working in a fresh new league for the first time in a while.

All the best.

Weirdly enough, I will follow Kent up by being a fellow Ottawa-based GM (although I was born here, 29 years ago). My name is Kevin, I've been playing EHM, online and offline, for about 15 years. I know I've been in at least two leagues with LA's GM, and I think I was even Phoenix the last time too.

Otherwise, I'm a grad student (which I will freely admit means that at certain peak times I may have delayed responses, though simply sending in lines won't be an issue) and a massive fan of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Sports wise, go Habs, go Expos (/cry), and go Liverpool.

I really like that the league does not have overly inflated player attributes - I often find it frustrating to see so many sim leagues where half the teams have six Dmen at 80+ def, and things of that nature, though different player values will take some getting used to.
