Congratulations to Nouveau Bretagne on an excellent EPHC 2 and on their victory. The EPHC organising committee is calling for bids to host EPHC 3. Potential hosts should submit a list of cities with their arenas and capacities, as well as any other information they feel would help their bid (posters, logos, promotional materials, pics of the arenas, etc). The actual tournament will be held in May or June.
I suppose I might as well be the first to announce my intention to form a scrappy but loveable hockey team.
Things to be added later, once I look up how hockey is played and what its about
OOC: I’m a New Yorker. We have the Rangers, and no one pays any attention to them.
edit: alright.
NDC- LibraDome (based on Madison Square Garden http://www.thegarden.com/SeatingCharts/v1.0/charts_pdfs/rangers.pdf
Location: Waterfront with retractable roof. Partially payed for by The Flying Figs, partially payed for by tax payers. Similar to another NYC stadium (in the works). Did I mention it’s shiny?
Thats the only team I’ll submit. I dont think a) Yeaagh has enough people to care about two hockey teams b) I know squat about hockey.
Goalie - 3
Aggressive - 3
Offence - 3
Defence - 2
PP - 2
PK - 1
No modifiers as Yeaagh is beneath 1IL, so it aint cold.
The following list of names involves people who have nothing to do with hockey. +50 to anyone who can correctly identify where each person really comes from

The chalenge to find the names is yours. Some are obvious, some require digging.
I do hope I’ve followed proticol, if there is any.
The Republic Of Milesandia puts forth neutral locations for hockey games, exhibition or otherwise. While Milesandia’s main sport is Beach Volleyball (Men’s - 4 time Olympic Champions, Women’s - 3 time Olympic Champions), we feel the tourism could benefit the country.
Cities for Stadiums:
Lisaeville
Parsonstown
Singapore
Arena Names:
Lisaeville - Harlan Rost Coliseum (Plans are similar as this page: http://hockey.ballparks.com/NHL/MinnesotaNorthStars/
Location of Coliseum: West of the Straw Hut, in the West Downtown/Townsend District.
Distinctive features: 4 Flags out front (The EP Flag, the Milesandian Flag, The Marine Corps flag, and the Standard.)
Parsonstown - Mammagamma Arena (Plans taken from the Xcel Energy Center: http://www.xcelcenter.com/seating/
Location: Waterfront District, right next to Parsons Bay.
Distinctive Features: A display of Milesandian Music on the wall opposite the main entrance of the arena. Big Big television displaying the music as well above it.
Singapore - General Logan Arena
(Plans are similar to Harlan Rost Coliseum)
Location of arena: North Side of Singapore’s downtown area.
Distinctive Features: Pineapples on the outside of the arena.
Alas, I’m not as savvy with making posters, but I think a logo might not be too bad. I’ll see what I can do.
Packilvania would be most happy to host the EPHC 3 in its slated to be built stadium in <insert Wachovian capitol city name here>
It will feature the most current technology in Hockey stadium construction, and it is estimated to hold 350,000 people.
If you want to host, you will need, at the very least, 3 indoor stadiums; more is better, and Pack while I’m sure you have the technology to build an arena for 350,000 the unaviodable physical limitation is that the views are going to suck and 300,000 of those fans would be better off at home watching on TV or holo-vision or whatever you got.
Dean: Ah, the Rangers. I understand completely.
I’ll be putting up a mock bid later on so you have an idea of what I’m looking for… but go ahead and “build” some infrastructure… there’s plenty of time.
Oh, God, I’m such a newbie, but…what is this? I mean, I know it’s hockey-related, but… 
It’s our regional competition for national senior mens’ ice hockey teams.
See the threads “East Pacific Hockey Championship”, “EPHC 2”, and “2nd East Pacific Hockey Championship”, as well as http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/East_Pacific_Hockey_Championship
For examples of sports RP, search the NS forums for “World Cup”, “Olympics”, “Rugby World Cup”, etc. The hockey one is the “Cherry Cup”, named for Don Cherry, a former coach and the most famous hockey pundit there is, and the only person I know who I can completely agree and disagree with simultaenously.

That’s the kind of bid I’d like to see. Right now I’m leaning towards Milesandia if he can put up one or two more arenas.
Milesandia, give us one more arena and you’ve got it. Do you want to design a logo/poster, or should I?
The competition will begin on 3 April. How long it will run will depend on how many teams we’ve got. So far I assume everyone in EPHC 2 will be back:
Packilvania
Infinite Loop
Kelssek
Nouveau Bretagne
Wachovia Coalition
Fish Island
Milesandia
Yeaagh
Please post rosters and stats in the RP thread, which I’m about to set up right now.
Actually, I think I should step out. My personal life is going to start getting a step busier and so you folks will probably start to see me scale back my NS involvement some. I’ll still have time for admin duties and some rp but after the war I’ll need to take it easy some.
Alright… I also realised that we haven’t heard from Nouveau Bretagne for a while, or at least I haven’t, so can I have Fish Island, Pack, NB, Loop and Milesandia acknowledge this? Especially Milesandia.
I can give you another stadium. It’s very simple actually.
City name:
Titan City
Arena name:
Larry Ramos Coliseum (Plans are similar as this page: Metropolitan Sports Center, but with about 4000 more seats and a larger bowl.
Location of Coliseum: Two miles east of Titan Tower, in the middle of the Courtyard district of Titan City.
Distinctive features: Education Memorial statue on the south side; building constructed of granite and has quite the wonderful acoustics inside; Superhero tribute wall on the north side of the inner stadium walkway.
I’m going to push back the EPHC to coincide with the real-life IIHF World Championships (http://web1.icehockey2005.com/). EPHC 3 will commence on 30 April 2005.
Kelssek
Milesandia
Packilvania
