While baseball may be nearest and dearest to the hearts of the citizens of Manningham, hockey is a close second. Informally known as "Hockeyville", if not nationally, at least to those who call Manningham home, the Mammoths have won the coveted Bowman Cup twice, in 1941 and 1945, and were runners up in the inaugural Monumental Hockey League season of 1905, as well as 1924. By no means are the Mammoths the most successful hockey club around, but one would be hard pressed to find fans more die hard and supportive.

The Monumental Hockey League started in 1905, and the Manningham Mammoths were one of the original participants. The league grew quickly, both in terms of attendance and size. The league currently consists of 30 teams, broken into two conferences, the Eastern and Western. The Eastern Conference holds 16 teams, and the Western Conference is made up of 14 teams. Each conference has two divisions.
In the Eastern Conference, the team makeup is:
Northeastern Division
Capital City Federals
Metro City Blades
Metro City Metropolitans
St. Germain Olympiques
Summit City Icebergs
Tottington Arrows
Tremont Patriots
Ville de Marie Citadelles
Atlantic Division
Blackburn Rough Riders
Coconut Bay Tropics
Kensington Tigers
Mayfield Barons
Morley City Mavericks
Motor City Cougars
Nickel City Niagaras
Yorkville St. Patricks
In the Western Conference, the teams are:
Midwest Division
Gateway City Eagles
Manningham Mammoths
North Star City Voyageurs
Oaktown Rustlers
St. Charles Silver Kings
Sun Valley Scorpions
Three Forks Falcons
Coastal Division
Bay City Blades
Blackfoot Broncos
Brentford Oil Kings
Cascadia City Cascades
Granby Maroons
Pacifica City Rosebuds
Tinseltown Monarchs
The prize every team chases each and every season is the Bowman Cup. Named after Charles Bowman, a man instrumental in the development of hockey, the Cup has been awarded since 1888. Originally awarded to the winner of the Canadian Hockey Association, the original premier amateur hockey league in Canada, the Bowman Cup became the trophy awarded to the champion of the Monumental Hockey League since its inception. Hoisting the Cup is the dream of every young hockey player, and is what motivates players to play through pain that would cripple the average man.

Dynasty Setup
This dynasty is part of the same universe as my Manningham Mallards dynasty. The story takes up with the Monumental Hockey League, and the Manningham Mammoths specifically, in 1947. The 1946-1947 season has just ended. The Tinseltown Monarchs have just defeated the Motor City Cougars, 4 games to 1, to win the Bowman Cup. It is the second Cup for Tinseltown, who won their first in 1944.
Like the Mallards dynasty, this one will also be taking place in "real time", meaning one day in real time equals one day in the dynasty.
The dynasty will be played out in Eastside Hockey Manager: Early Access Edition.
1946-1947 Season Review
The Mammoths lost to Tinseltown in the Western Conference Finals, 4 games to 1. They won the Midwest Division during the Regular Season, with a record of 50-26-6, and finished 2nd to Tinseltown in the Overall Standings for the Western Conference. They finished third in the MHL in Goals Scored, with 238. Morley City was the highest scoring team in the league, with 265, followed by Tinseltown with 240.
Manningham was the fourth best defensive team, giving up a total of 177 goals. The Metro City Metropolitans were the stingiest team overall, allowing 150 goals, while Tinseltown was second at 162, and Motor City third with 168 goals allowed.
The Mammoths are coached by Egor Bernard, a 58 year old Canadian from Ontario, who is just finished his 11th season as head coach. The General Manager is Brendan Erickson, who happens to be the brother of Manningham Mallards GM Dean Erickson. The owner of the Mammoths is Gino Heidinger, a 60 year old Manningham businessman, who has owned the team since 1929. He is wealthy, willing to invest in the team, and has ambitions that match his pocketbook. At the same time, he is patient, and lets Erickson do his job with minimal intervention from above.
The team's top stars are center/left wing Spencer Montgomery and defenseman Bob Perry. Montgomery, a 27-year-old, is coming off of a down year statistically, one which saw him tally 24 goals and 29 assists for 53 total points. Perry, 32 years old, scored five goals, assisted on 38 more, and led the team in ice time with 26:11 per game. The leading goal scorer, and leader in total points, was LW Andrei Viltovsky. The team's #1 netminder is Logan Fennell, a 30 year old Canadian who has also spent his entire career with the Mammoths organization. Fennel was in net for 68 games this season, winning 44 of them, while compiling a
Around the league, Cameron Christie of Pacifica City, led the MHL in goals scored, with 44, and total points, with 77. Hans Kaebel of the Metro City Blades, led the league in assists with 52. Chuck Pasternak of Cascadia City, led the league in +/- at +41, while Pier-Olivier Brennan, also of Cascadia City, led the league with 259 penalty minutes.
For goalies, Fennell led the league in wins. Pontus Westerholm of the Metro City Metropolitans led the way in goals against average with 1.67, and he also had the best save percentage, stopping shots at a .937 rate.
