  1. I was able to figure out the RetroArch save state layout for Genesis Plus GX core. I was able to upload a game on my local testing server, all the stats look good!!! Prob sometime tonight I will upload the updated page so that either Gens or RetroArch saves can be used for the Summer League. Once we get a decent amount of games played with RetroArch we can make a final "official" decision.

  2. The 1910 NHA season kicked off in January following the collapse of the CHA and the absorption of the Ottawa and Montreal Shamrocks franchises. Ottawa was the reigning Stanley Cup holder and had just defended the Cup against a challenge from the Galt Pros of the Ontario Professional Hockey League. Just days after their first NHA game Ottawa again defended the Cup against the Edmonton Pros, an independent team formerly of the Alberta Amateur Hockey Association. The Montreal Wanderers would take the first league championship with an 11-1 record and with it possession of the Stanley Cup. Following the season the Wanderers would accept their first challenge, defeating the OPHL’s Berlin Dutchmen. Newsy Lalonde, who would split his time between the Les Canadiens and the Renfrew Creamery Kings, led the circuit in scoring with 38 goals in just 11 games. Riley Hern of the Wanderers was the league’s top goaltender with 11 wins and a 3.40 GAA. Teams included in ROM: NHA – Cobalt Silver Kings, Haileybury Comets, Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Shamrocks, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators, Renfrew Creamery Kings OPHL – Berlin Dutchmen, Brantford Indians, Galt Pros, Waterloo Colts CHA – Montreal All-Montreal, Montreal Nationals, Quebec Bulldogs Independent – Edmonton Pros 1910 NHA.bin

  3. Organized hockey in the early 20th century was a far cry from what we know (and love) today. The game was played in halves, there were 6 skaters per side and minor penalties were 3 minutes long. Players played positions such as Rover, Center Point and Point and overtime may or may not have ended with sudden death. Leagues came and went frequently and the players followed suit. Vezina, Ross and Patrick weren't just trophies - they were the stars of the day. Hockey pants were generally white and the "sweater" was a carryover from the not-so-distant past where it was a necessity as games were played outdoors. Other equipment was fairly sparse. The Stanley Cup was a challenge trophy contested by professional, semi-pro, independent and amateur squads alike. In December of 1909, as a result of a dispute over gate fees which caused the Eastern Canada Hockey Association to dissolve and for its members to go their separate ways, two new leagues - the "National Hockey Association" and the "Canadian Hockey Association" were formed. The CHA would fold only two weeks into its inaugural season and its survivors would join the NHA. While the NHA would eventually go on to become the NHL it's humble beginnings included franchises in Cobalt, Haileybury and Renfrew, Ontario, games played in curling rinks and a team called "Les Canadiens" conceived to attract the interest of the Francophone population of Montreal. I've had to use a fair amount of creative license on these teams as stats and other information is incomplete at best and practically non-existent at worst. Hope you enjoy.
