Wow! Nice to see you're still doing this Section30. I wish I was half as good at graphic design as you are. I attempted two projects back on the Sportslogos forum and had to stop both of them because I'm just not good at this sort of thing. I might have to take college course on graphic design before I even think of starting another one.
By the way, will NOB (Names On Back) be a thing in the MAHL? Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you that means a lot. I would suggest just messing around in your free time on stuff that interests you. The more you do the better you'll get and the more tricks you'll learn. The biggest thing is just making things, it's amazing to me just going back to logos I made even a year ago and finding new things to change or adjust.
As for the NOB's I plan on introducing them in the late 70s or early 80s, around the same time they began in the NHL.6.4.1
Is there any "thing" you'd recommend to start out making or is that all up to me?

I would just focus on your interests. For example I began by designing goalie masks, then moved on to jerseys and logos and have continued working on things that interest me.

1964/65 Regular Season; South
Blue Earth Hockey League
The Packers took the first ever Blue Earth League title in their first season, boasting a very impressive inaugural season, only losing 3 games all year. New Ulm took second with Mankato in third, both the Bavarians and Moose had respectable seasons. St. Peter managed to beat out the Dragoons for the final playoff spot.
Granite Hockey League
The Jacks continue to own the central part of the state, winning their 7th league title in 8 years, and their 7th in a row. The Cyclones remained in second, boasting another very solid year, led by veteran defenseman Eric O'Neil. The Cats finished in third with their cross town rivals rounding out the playoffs. This is the Storms first playoff birth in their 8 year history. Alexandria got the boot from the top four and finished in the bottom half of the table along with Little Falls and Sauk Rapids.
Twin Cities Hockey League (West)
The Vulcans remained atop the west with another dominant year from their explosive offense. The Mighty Millers surpassed the Cake Eaters for the second spot with Edina falling to third, but remaining one of the best teams in the state. Anoka shocked the league in their opening season, doing much better than expected and actually clinching the final playoff spot ahead of the Muskies and Bucks. Osseo took a step back this year largely due to injuries, the same can be said about Bloomington who struggled to even put a full roster together for much of the season. The Bruins somehow remained in last place in the West, despite not suffering nearly as many injuries as the Bears. People are beginning to wonder what exactly is wrong with the Bruins as attendance continues to decline while the Millers and Vulcans continue to grow in popularity and success.
Twin Cities Hockey League (East)
The Halos finished atop the East for the third consecutive season, and managed to cap off another successful season with a rematch victory in the TCHL Championship against their arch rivals, the Vulcans, to win their second league title in as many years. This was the year the Vols proved that they are legit, finishing ahead of the perennial powerhouse Victorias and ending the season ranked. White Bear Lake had a surprising rise in the standings this year, managing to reach the playoffs only 5 years after coming in 11th place in the TCHL. South and West St. Paul came in at fifth and sixth respectably, though they had higher expectations at the beginning of the season. Roseville and Falcon Heights round out the league, both being on the receiving end of many blowouts.
Valley Hockey League
After a 2 year hiatus, the Mustangs reclaimed the Valley crown from their cross town nemesis'. The story of the season however was the surprising rise of the La Crosse Brewers. La Crosse came out of nowhere, missing the playoffs the last 13 years and finishing among the bottom nearly all of those years, but managed to put together one of the best team efforts the Valley has seen since the Mavericks Kellogg Cup run in 56. The Robins took a step back this year, but remained one of the top teams in the league. Red Wing claimed the final playoff slot, but inconsistency has been a major issue for the Chiefs all year as they would go from looking elite to getting blown out by lesser teams from one day to the next. They will need to figure it out if they are to have any chance come playoffs. Austin and Northfield both suffered losing seasons, but at least they weren't the Wildcats. Everyone's favorite losers were at it again, only winning 1 game and tying 4 all season long.

1964/65 Regular Season; North
Iron Range Hockey League
The Black Bears came out of nowhere to dethrone the Royals and win their first Iron Range title in 23 years. Virginia and Grand Rapids came in second and third and both look like serious contenders come playoffs. Eveleth had a bit of a lucky bounce, clinching the final playoff spot ahead of their rivals from Hibbing who were affected with the flu for a large portion of the year causing them to miss the playoffs for the first time since 1949. Chisholm dropped to the 6 spot with a disappointing showing this year.
Lake Superior Hockey League
Cloquet finally ended the back and forth with the Voyageurs, managing to repeat as league champs for the first time since 1925-1926. Thunder Bay quietly has formed one of the most potent defenses the MAHL has seen in years, holding opponents to only 33 goals in 24 games this year. Two Harbors continues to grind their way into the playoffs, this time finishing ahead of the Voyageurs who dropped to fourth, but remain in the playoffs. Superior and the Hornets round out the table.
Northland Hockey League
The Lakers are back on top of the Northland, claiming their third league title in franchise history. Winnipeg continued to bully their opponents all the way to another second place finish. The defending champs fell to third, but don't underestimate them, the Stars always seem to pull it together in the playoffs. International Falls took the final playoff slot in the last game of the year, defeating their arch rivals from Fort Frances, while Steinbach fell to the Monarchs. Baudette moved up to sixth with the aforementioned Traders on their heels in 7th. It was another tough season for the Beltrami County teams as the Blue Ox and Mallards finished at the bottom of the league.
Red River Hockey League
Thief River keeps their streak alive, remaining the only team to win the Red River League. EGF managed to surpass their rivals from across the border for the second spot, the Jets finished in third. Crookston finished in the final playoff slot, beating out the southern teams who finished in fifth and sixth.
Let me know waht you think, comments are appreciated!

I never thought of seeing New Ulm and St. Peter together. I'm rooting for both of them.
Also, I'm jumping on the Vols bandwagon as I like the branding on the jerseys.
Mind if you can make me a sig for the Vols and the Governors?

Well, with my Superior Lakers out, I've gotta support the other Wisconsin team. Go Brewers!

It's kinda weird not seeing the Voyageurs in the top of the rankings. Here's hoping we can pull off an upset or two!
