The Blizzard's 41-12-3 performance this season for 85 points ties the Detroit Spartans, who had 85 points in Season 6, and then in Season 7, the Thunder Bay Storm and Los Angeles Smog both earned 85 points with Thunder Bay winning the season title based on goals for.

A new GM has taken the reins of the Rocketeers.

Happy New Year from FrozenCherry Hockey!

Player Nationalities! You may have noticed that team rosters now list a player's nationality next to his name, represented by that nation's flag. FrozenCherry Hockey is a completely fictional fantasy hockey simulation utilizing fictitious player names and teams. Therefore, care is always taken to create a plausible game world. For player nationalities, nations are represented in a way that recognizes the popularity of the sport of ice hockey in that country as well as other factors such as the country's population and the location of the league in which he will play. More on this below.
There are two new hockey leagues in the FrozenCherry hockey management game! The CPHL is a new North American fantasy hockey league with nine teams to start but rumors are that the league is looking to compete with the RPIHL for marketshare and is expected to add more teams in the seasons ahead. The CPHL is named after, and inspired by the creative imagination of artist Joseph Caylor. Almost all of the CPHL team logos are based upon his sketches and all of the CPHL teams were named by him.
Fantasy International Ice Hockey Begins! The World Ice Hockey Association (WIHA) will bring international fantasy hockey to FrozenCherry! 40 countries from around the world are currently represented with rosters that include players from the RPIHL, BMHL, SWHL and CPHL. Player skill is biased toward the countries in which ice hockey is most popular. Sweden will be tough to beat while South Korea is a good choice for a manager who is up for a challenege. Management of WIHA teams is currently granted by request only. If you are interested in managing a WIHL team in addition to your current team, please click on the "Home" tab and select the Email icon to contact me.
New 2 month format! Based on feedback, FrozenCherry will be switching to a format which plays each season in 2 months as opposed to the current 3 month format. 6 game seasons will pass each calendar year, allowing teams to evolve more quickly from a bottom of the barrel team to a cup winner while balancing retirements, entry drafts and wise trade decisions. Thank you for the feedback! Your continued support helps make FrozenCherry better every day.

"Fans Mourn Spirits" - Fans knew the Spirits were competing against an exorcism for the last two seasons while the team struggled. For two consecutive seasons the team just barely preserved its tradition of never missing the playoffs. The future was made even more bleak when team star Ken Woolem announced his retirement. Italian GM Gregorio Bertoncini was quoted as saying "It's like Luigi [Lopze] and I always say, is like pizza. You have to keep the toppings together or it falls apart. Make it like so and you have a working team. We are making perfect recipe. It may take a time but I always have the faith in Spirits." With centerman Margarito Kriger and defenseman Rogelio Cardillo retiring too, it looks like the Spirits might have to rise from the grave with a vengeance.

It is only a matter of time before the Detroit Spartans win the cup. Our fans can count on that. With a season title win in Season 6 and then reaching the playoff finals in Season 7, there are high expectations for Season 8 and we will not disappoint.

The Thunder Bay Storm are excited to have seen so much success this season. Thank you to all our fans and to the league. We were actually down to the bare minimum roster this season after being hit by a lot of retirements in previous seasons. We can't give enough credit to our star rookie goaltender, Trent Mohd, and our veteran goaltender Genaro Borrolli. They are a goaltending pair that teams dream of having but seldom realize.

After being upset in the finals by the Banff Blizzard in Season 6, the Thunder Bay Storm were anxious to reach the finals again. They did just that and in a closely fought final series between the Thunder Bay Storm and the Detroit Spartans, there was no question that it could go either way. In the end, it was Thunder Bay to take the cup for the first time in franchise history. A very successful season for the Storm, for they were also the season title holders for season 7. It was Detroit that had the season title last season.

The Thunder Bay Storm have won the RPIHL season title for the first time in franchise history with a 41-12-3 record and 85 points this season. The Los Angeles Smog also had a 41-12-3 record this season so the tie breaking determination was made by Goals For. Thunder Bay had 171 Goals For and Los Angeles had 161. Both teams have tied Detroit's record for most points in a season, all with 85. The Detroit Spartans accomplished that record in Season 6 with the Thunder Bay Storm finishing second.
In the Season 6 playoffs, Thunder Bay battled to the finals where they were upset by the division rival Banff Blizzard. Fans believe the team has a better chance to win the Romeo Cup in this season's playoffs as the Thunder Bay Storm head into round one to face the Phoenix Outlaws.

I'm very excited to announce the latest new feature to the FrozenCherry Fantasy Hockey Simulation Game... Player Statistics History Profiles! But that's not all! Player photos are back!

Player Photos are back! They can be viewed in the Player Statistics History Profile upon clicking on a player's name as described above. I am currently adding more variety to the images for a wide range of facial expressions, skin tones, hair colors, eye colors and hair styles so think of this as a taste of what is to come. I would also like to thank all the members that have used the new Press Release Feature! Looks like a rivalry is brewing in the Southeast Division of the RPIHL!
