NHOL League Descriptions
The NHOL has 3 league modes for EA NHL 22.
NHOL Versus 1vs1 Leagues --
NHOL Rated Random League--
EASHL 6s or 3s.
NHOL Versus 1vs1 Leagues
Participation in the Versus League requires you to play an entire
season and the playoffs with one NHL team.
A small amount of game statistics are required to be entered by the
winning team each and every game.
At the end of the season a draft will take place where you can draft a
new NHL team for the following season.
Top players will be placed in League 1, above average players in
League 2, average players in League 3 and beginners or players of limited abilities in League
4.
At the end of each season players will move up or down to a higher or
lower League depending upon their records.
Unlike other Versus Leagues, our leagues operate with a fun twist.
Everyone makes the playoffs.
This way everyone gets the excitement of
being in a playoff tournament and stays in the Community for the entire
season whether they are 28-1 or 3-26.
Your record with individual teams, and record head to head with NHOL
members will be tracked lifetime.
You will have an individual profile page with all of your records listed
for each season and lifetimes stats tracked.
Participation in the
Rated
Random League (RRL) Season allows you to
play as much or as little as you wish, playing with random games from the
current NHL season schedule.
Listed on our sites schedule of random games.
The only statistics entered at the end of the game are who
represented which team and who won or lost.
Your record with individual teams, and record head to head with NHOL
members will be tracked lifetime.
Each RRL player has a rating that fluctuates with the outcome of each
game.
You will have an individual profile page with all of your records listed
for each season and lifetimes stats tracked.
The ranking will be based on your rating.
Prize Programs For Our Random League are available.
You can win great prizes including games and PSN cards by either being a
great player, a great mind in one of our strategy game, or just darn
lucky in one of the NHOL Community Giveaways.
EASHL 6s or 3s
The NHOL offers 2 Leagues in EASHL.
The EASHL 6vs6 League
The EASHL 3vs3 League
We encourage our members to play in as many of the leagues they
wish to.
The random league is especially good for players who want to
learn the nuances of the EA NHL video game, or members who love playing the
game, and are tired of quitters playing Versus games online against no
name people.
Communication
Communication between league members is the most important factor in
your continued participation in the NHOL.
The 3 methods of communication used are:
Discord: We have extremely active chat rooms that is
not only a great way to get games but to have lots of fun.
PSN Messages
Email
Game Broadcast
Perhaps the best innovation on the PS4 system is the ability to
broadcast your games via the share option.
Years ago when the broadcast feature was introduced there was some lag
effect, but currently there is little to none.
We strongly recommend you sign up for an account at
http://www.twitch.tv/ or
youtube.com.
It is exciting to watch fellow league members battle it out on the ice.
When setting up your game please put National Hockey Online League in
the description.
Read The Game Play Rules
We have a couple of basic no nonsense rules, that a league staff
member will explain to you.
The #1 rule is to use sportsmanship
in your game play no matter what league you are involved in, never ever
quit game, and a zero tolerance towards chat room misbehavior
or arguing.
If there is a problem speak to a League Admin.
These are the basics if you have any questions do not
hesitate to ask.
Thank You The NHOL Administrative Staff
