I sincerely apologize for the lack of communication, but I'm in the middle of university exams. Usually Derek is able keep the league going during my absence, but it appears that he has a tight schedule.
Obviously we've had some missed sims during the last two weeks, probably the worst stretch of those since we started. But everything looks to be straightened out when Derek gets back in the thick of things next week, and Brent hopefully sims this weekend (thanks for stepping up with simming Brent).
Looks like the longest pre-season in NHA history should wrap up on Tuesday
