The Revenge and Honour Hockey League, RHHL, is currently looking for GMs to own and run vacated franchises.

Currently, the league is free and we will be adding a paid structure pending a vote by the current owners. Paid league entry fees will most likely be between $75 and $150. Prize details will be announced then.

We have eight teams and are open to expansion to 10,12,14, or 16 teams. 10 and 12 as soon as the 2020-2021 season. 14-16 as soon as 2021-2022 season.

Each team has their own identity (colour theme, custom designed logo). Changes to a current team name and logo are negotiable.

FORMAT

  • Fantrax logs the stats but Google Sheets is the official hub of information. Email and Slack for communication, transactions, entry draft, and free agency.
  • Dynasty/Keeper League
  • Head-to-head. 24 Regular Season Match-Ups. The team with the highest regular season point total wins the Gordie Howe Trophy.
  • Play-offs based on the Stanley Cup Play-offs. The winner of the RHHL play-offs wins the (Jean) Beliveau Cup.
  • Win both the Gordie Howe Trophy and the Beliveau Cup to be awarded the RHHL Championship. The RHHL Championship is awarded by merrit, not annually, and held by a team. Think of the WWE World Championship.
  • Stat categories: Goals (G), Assists (A), Hits (HIT), Shots on Goal (SOG), Wins (W), and Saves (SV).
  • Tie breaker is based on a relative stat called “ICE-Value” which gives points based on the scarcity of each stat category.
  • The team with the highest total in each stat category is awarded a “goal” and the team with the most “goals” in each match-up is awarded the win.
  • Wins=3 points, tie breaker wins = 2 points, tie breaker loses = 1 point.

SALARY

  • $75M salary cap.
  • $50M salary floor.
  • $0.25M league minimum.
  • Salaries are based on league demand and are NOT tied to NHL salaries.

ROSTERS

  • Roster moves are made weekly.
  • Roster positions are as follows: C, LW, RW (MIN of 4 contracted players, MAX of 7 contracted players), D (MIN of 6 contracted players, MAX of 10 contracted players), G (MIN of 2 contracted players, MAX of 3 contracted players).
  • Active/Scoring Roster is 4C, 4RW, 4LW, 6 D, 2G.
  • Scratched Roster is 1C, 1RW, 1LW, 1G. Players on the scratched roster can be swapped with players on the Active Roster each week without the use of waivers.
  • Minor League Roster is 2C, 2RW, 2LW, 3D, 1G.
  • Positions are determined by the what the player plays. From that, the GM must declare ONE position for each player for the entirety of the year. (i.e. Leon Draisaitl is listed as C,LW on Fantrax. As owner of Leon Draisaitl, you may choose to play his as Centre or Left Wing, not both, for the 2019-2020 season).

PROSPECTS AND DRAFT PICKS

  • Each team is given 7 draft picks per season. You may trade draft picks.
  • Eligible players are less than 20 years old and have played in less than 20 NHL games.
  • Drafted players become “Prospects” for each RHHL team. Prospects may be traded.
  • When a GM so chooses, a 3-Year Entry Level Contract (ELC) is given to players who have been drafted by an RHHL team. This counts towards the salary cap and roster spots.

CONTRACTS

  • Standard Players Contracts (SPC) may be signed for 1-5 years.
  • Players between 18 and 29 will see a salary increase of $0.25M per season.
  • Players between 30 and 34 will see their salary stay the same season to season.
  • Players over 35 will see a salary decrease of $0.50M per season.
  • Players who have their contracts expire will become free agents. Players who are 25 or under at this time will be RFAs. There is an offersheet process in place.
  • Remaining free agents may be signed during the regular season.

WAIVERS

  • Players over 23 must clear waivers to pass through to the minor league.
  • Players on the ELC are exempt from waivers.

BUYOUTS

  • Players may be bought out at any time.
  • The cost of the buy out depends on age. From 18-34, the cost is half of the remaining contract value divided over double the remaining term. Over 35, the cost is a quarter of the remaining contract value divided over double the remaining term.
  • Each off season, each team gets one Outright Contract Termination. This allows for a buyout without the cap penalty. However, the team must forfeit a draft pick (5th to 7th rounder), depending on the value of remaining contract.
