Wanna see how would your career to the NHL look like?

Fill out these infos to get your player created:

Name: (Needs to be a possible name, not a forum nickname)

Birth City, Nationality: Will determine what league you play for as well as your age.

Bithday: I only need the birthday, not the birth year.

Favourite Number: Like in the real hockey world, needs to be between 1 and 98.

Size: Chose between "Very Small", "Small", "Average", "Big" and "Huge".

Position and Shoot/Glove side: You can chose one position to start the game and another one that you might learn during your career. For realism, a goaltender can only have one position, a defenseman won't be able to play forward (even if some do) and forwards won't be able to play defence. Please chose your shoot/glove side too.

Player Strenghts and Weaknesses: Tell me your player's strenghts and weaknesses. Don't be too good. ;)

And well, I might as well keep my self interested; you can also you this as an exemple:

[duff88]

Nicolas Fillion, Goaltender, Canadian
Jonquière Élites - Quebec Midget AAA Hockey League
14 years old, 5'6/150

The Elites are going to be among the top teams inthe Midget AAA League this year, mainly due to Dallaire who is expected to provide excellent goaltending. A small goalie with excellent reflexes and good technical abilities, Fillion is the top goaltender in the league and should be a candidate for MVP. He starts the year as the top ranked goaltender in for the 2007 QMJHL Draft but, although he's still considered as a potential first round pick, there are quite a few players in front of him due to the question marks on wether he can bring his game to the Q game.


B.B. Gunn, Right Defense, Canadian
Saskatoon Flyers - Saskatoon MHA Bantam League
14 years old, 5'9/175

You just have to read a scouting report on B.B. to know how much he's going to be followed closely by NHL scouts through his junior career in the WHL; he's 14 years old and the word on him is that he's an incredibly intelligent kid with tons of maturity who will surely captain a WHL team one day. Scouts are saying he and CAC's Jace Hunter will fight to be picked first overall in the WHL Bantam Draft in 2007.


Mario Hart, Right Wing, American
USA U-17 - U.S. National Development Program
14 years old, 6'0/171

As one of the two '91 born players on the team, and only 9 days younger than the second youngest player on the team Cyril Tircuit, Hart is the youngest player in the U.S. National Development Program. His amazing offensive instincts and well developped body provided him this spot on the select team. Expected to pursue his career in US Colleges, Hart is going to be a kid to watch as scouts are already calling him one of the top prospects for the 2010 NHL Draft.


Dayne Ho, Center, Singaporean
Shattuck-St. Mary's - U.S. High School West
15 years old, 5'8/168

Not often do you see a Singaporean play hockey; heck most hockey players couldn't even locate Singapore on a World Map, let alone tell you on what continent it is. Ho, who decided he'd pursue his career in the USA in the famous Shattuck-St. Mary's high school in Faribault, Minnesota, still has tons of talents and could very well become a star in the NHL one day. Hoping to continue on to the US Colleges, Ho is eligible for the 2009 NHL Draft and has already drawn comparisons to Pavel Datsyuk.


Jace Hunter, Center, Canadian
CAC Leligh Inland - Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League
14 years old, 5'11/168

Arguably the best player in the AMBHL this year, Jace is going to challenge to be picked first overall in the WHL Draft. Often compared to Joe Thornton, scouts all around the NHL are raving about the possibilites of Hunter being the 1st overall pick in 2010!


Colton Mayes, Right Wing, American
St. Louis Amateur Blues - U.S. Under-16 East
15 years old, 5'1/140

Colton Mayes has made it clear; he's going to play in the OHL. Raving about the possibilites of playing in one of the best junior leagues in the world, Mayes said he wanted to be drafted 1st overall in the OHL Draft this summer. His amazing talents should help him as he has very good instincts and amazing skating skills; the only problem hurting his draft stock is that he is only 5'1 and barely 140 pounds. Compared to Marian Gaborik, Mayes will work hard to get stronger and impress scouts in order to furfill his dream of one day suiting up in the NHL.


Riley Navraj, Right Defense, American
Chicago Mission - U.S. Under-16 East
14 years old, 5'11/176

The young Navraj, who hopes to continue his career in the Colleges before, hopefully, making it to the NHL, has drawn NHL scouts' attention with his potential as a future shut-down defenseman. Projected as a meaner Sean Hill, reports rave about his agressive style, his work ethic, his good two-way instincs, his hitting ability, his passing skills and most of all, his willingness to get dirty and to fight for his teammates. Riley may not be the most talented of all players, but he could one day be an important part of a Stanley Cup winner.


Bret Provo, Center, American
Boston Junior Bruins - Eastern Junior Hockey League
15 yeas old, 6'0/176

Bret Provo is the youngest player of his team, but he's certainly going to learn from playing with older players. Hoping to play in US Colleges, Provo will have to impress and developpe as scouts are currently questionning wether he has the ability to be a big time player in the NCAA. An NHL career? You never know, but right now, it seems unlikely. Provo is a determined young kid though and he certainly won't let the septics dictate his play.


Cyril Tircuit, Left Defense, American
USA U-17 - U.S. National Development Program
14 years old, 5'6/140

Joining Mario Hart as one of the youngest players to ever play in the USNDP, Tircuit will likely have a harder time adjusting his style to this high caliber game. A solid two-way player with excellent skills and a style reminiscent of Andrei Markov, Tircuit still is a small kid who is going to play against some of the country's biggest young stars. It will be a big adjustment for Cyril, hopefully he's up to the challenge.


Spencer Townsend, Left Wing, American
Little Caesars Midgets, U.S. Under-16 East
14 years old, 5'10/170

He may still be a kid, but if Spencer's development goes well, he's going to be a player wanted by a lot of NHL teams come the day of the 2010 NHL Draft. A strong, comptetitive, agressive, powerful player with excellent scoring skills who could one day be the power forward every team dreams of, Townsend hopes to play his junior career in College.


Sean Treacy, Center, American
Shattuck-St. Mary's - U.S. High School West
13 years old, 5'5/138

With a British, a Singaporean and a kid from New Mexico, Shattuck-St. Mary's can say they really went all around the most non-hockey places to fill their team this year. Yet, they're likely still going to be the best high school team in the country. Treacy is probably the best skater his age in the entire country, at 13 years old, the kid can't be worried about his size but you have to wonder if he's going to be physically strong enough to play High School hockey at such a high level.


Daniel Turner, Left Wing, American
Cleveland Barons - U.S. Under-16 East
15 years old, 5'11/175

Turner moved away from home to go play in Cleveland as scouts were telling him about the possibilities of being the #1 pick in this year's OHL Draft and his willingness to play in a copetitive league. Said to be a mix of Ryan Smyth and Martin Rucinsky, Turner said he wants to play in the OHL to play in one of the best junior leagues in the world, get a maximum of exposure and play many games every season.


Todd Volmert, Left Defense, American
St. Louis Amateur Blues - U.S. Under-16 East
15 years old, 5'9/156

Playing with Colton Mayes in arguably the best team in the league, Volmert hopes to help his team and impress scouts with his defensive minded game. Compared to Mike Van Ryn, the young american defenseman hopes to pursue his career in US Colleges before becoming eligible for the draft in 2009. One thing is certain, scouts are going to keep a close eye on this stay-at-home defenseman!


John Williams, Center, Canadian
Toronto Marlboros - Greater Toronto Hockey League
15 years old, 5'9/158

A creative center à la Tom Connolly, Williams will try to impress coming scouts in order to be among the first name called in the OHL Draft. Currently ranked among the top players eligible, all signs point towards Williams, who is a hard working kid with tons of talent, solidifying his draft status in order to raise in the rankings through the year.


Danny Wilson, Left Wing, American
Belle Tire - U.S. Under-16 East
14 years old, 5'10/160

Wilson is impressive both on and off the ice. A real mature kid who promises to become a gentleman, Wilson impresses with his great skating and his very good scoring touch on the ice. Hoping to play in College hockey, Wilson will be a player to keep an eye on for the 2010 NHL Draft.

This little guy is going to be an inspirational story for young hockey players to come. :)

A strong, comptetitive, agressive, powerful player with excellent scoring skills who could one day be the power forward every team dreams of, Townsend hopes to play his junior career in College.

College? If there is a way ... would prefer Michigan State to Michigan ... hell, any team except Michigan.

Duff, looking forward to this!

Looks like Provo is going to have to work his ass off to make an NCAA team...doesn't look good.

I really like the sound of this kid, and he's number 1 in the Bantam Draft as well. What's funny is that I had Smyth in mind when I was listing the type of player that I wanted to be. Maybe I'll follow his career path (but not to Edmonton)

[Johnny93g]

Great start, looking forward to the updates

[duff88]

Sorry if it's taking a long time. I'm just passing to tell you that I have computer problems (It's probably the first time I reach the internet for more than 1 minute in the last week) and therefore I'm not going to update this dynasty until it's fixed. It shouldn't take too long though and it's certainly not dead, but I just thought it would be stupid to not let you know what's going on.
