While the NHLX database is a one-man operation and experiment - it would certainly not exist as it does today without an immense amount of EHM community involvement.  With so few hockey sim options out there, the EHM community has been vital in keeping this awesome but somewhat dated game both relevant and fresh and infinitely playable.

​

First off, hats off to everybody at the TBL website and all those who created the original TBL rosters from which this database originally diverted from back in 2013.  While I have been an active part of the EHM community for many years now - I am but a babe compared to the amount of work and research the original TBL team members poured into the database, into researching the sim engine, researching player development, etc.

​

And with that - the entire community would basically not be possible without the work of one archibalduk at TBL - the creator of the EHM Editor and the oracle of the EHM community knowledge database as far as I am concerned.  

​

Also huge props to xECK29x who developed his original outstanding real-based Pivot rosters for EHM several years ago and now stewards the combined efforts of the Pivot roster and TBL rosters along with a team of EHM users and researchers who keep things tight.  While our databases are different, we share research and ideas and if the slightly altered world of NHLX is not your cup of tea and you are looking for simply the most detailed and accurate rosters around, Pivot/TBL is the way to go.

​

Thanks to penguinrevolt for providing me extra names for some of the minor countries. And to ChaiTiefling for letting me use her expanded EIHL concept!

​

Finally, let's get to some Graphics Credits.  While I have created some of the new logowork in NHLX on my own and continue to manage and update logo types on my own, a vast amount of it is also co-oped from talented artists online.  Please do not attempt to distribute any of their artwork as your own or attempt to re-package it online - it is meant solely for your use on your computer in EHM.  Also where I have linked website, please visit and support these graphics designers.  A text file is also included in the Graphics Pack for the NHLX database with credits.

- dani9 @ TBL: The originator of the best logo megapacks around.  While I have re-done probably 90% of the graphics for this database - his logopack set the bar and style which I have stuck to and there are certainly some of his original logos still contained in the NHLX logo pack.

Many other logos are re-colored or touched up logos from sports clubs around the world, some professional, some amateur.  If I am missing any credits please let me know.  Also, I have tried my best to reach all of the graphics designers above to ensure they are ok with my use of their logos but if you are one of these people and stumble here seeing your name and don't remember corresponding with me, please contact me.

Thanks to all in the EHM community!
