What IIHF Federation and Position Should I Create? - Velevra - 09-22-2019 Believe it or not, your birthplace choice is important when you create your player! In the SHL we have an international tournament every off-season (IIHF) for the senior players and a junior tournament (WJC) for the younger players. When you create your player you can actively choose to play for a Federation or if you are unsure about where you want to play, you can start off your career as an Unassigned player that can then transfer to a Federation later on. Even if you decide on a Federation when creating, you can use a transfer once in your career to move to another one. The IIHF has currently 14 different Federations and the WJC combines some of the smaller ones to 10 teams playing in their tournament. An updated list of the current number of players and the respective position in each Federation can be found via this link. The IIHF Federations and their current (as of 2024-02-07) number of active players are:
Messages from the Federation Heads: Canada Fed Head: @KaleSalad Co-Fed Head: @Figgy Need: Not Specified Czechia Fed Head: @Troy_McClure03 Co-Fed Head: @39alaska39 Need: Not Specified Finland Fed Head: @Carpy48 Co-Fed Head: @Sburbine Need: Wingers Finland has been one of the top teams in IIHF in recent history and of course we plan to stay up there. If you wish to join team "Winland" and help us win more medals in the future, why don't you create a Finn? We're especially looking for wingers at the moment, but any skater position is welcome. France Fed Head: @FuzzSHL Co-Fed Head: @Count Chocula Need: Not Specified Germany Fed Head: @Tomen Co-Fed Head: @jaypc8237 Need: Skaters Want to be the next Mo Seider, Leon Draisaitl or Tim Stützle? then Germany is your spot as it is currently a team that has loads of younger as well as some very old players on the roster meaning there should be quite a few roster spots opening up soon. In recent times we had some bad tourneys but are currently looking to come out on top again with a 4th place finish last tourney and return to the glory days of the S30s when we were the top ranked nation. Great Britain Fed Head: @McGriddy10 Co-Fed Head: @frithjofr Need: forwards and defensemen Looking to make a big difference in the IIHF? Look no further. Great Britain is in need of Forwards and defensemen! We are a mid-sized nation who prides itself on the success we create by inviting players from other nations to join us. We win because players want to be here, and you can too! Independent Russia Fed Head: @Kimar Co-Fed Head: @fubaguy Need: Forwards, defensemen, goaltenders, come one come all. Ireland Fed Head: @Hordle Co-Fed Head: Vacant Need: Not Specified Japan Fed Head: @aleks Co-Fed Head: @ValorX77 Need: Forwards and Defensemen Latvia Fed Head: @Seany148 Co-Fed Head: @LordBallGag Need: Defense and Forwards Many would certainly ask - Who is Latvia? The answer is quite simple. We are a small nation in East Europe. We're big fighters and that's what I want to see in my new players as well. We are now in a position that the team needs to rebuild. The only element that has been perfectly completed for the moment is the goalies. Defense and forwards are still in the process of formation. Soon, our veterans will certainly start a career downturn that opens up ample opportunities to fill these places with the young players. So if hockey is your favorite sport and you want to be debuted to the big team as soon as possible, then join us! Such a career milestone is just one click away! Norway Fed Head: @mer Co-Fed Head: @golden_apricot Need: Not Specified Sweden Fed Head: @sköldpaddor Co-Fed Head: @gurbs Need: Not Specified Switzerland Fed Head: @Valpix Co-Fed Head: @By-Tor Need: Not Specified USA Fed Head: @RAmenAmen Co-Fed Head: @CampinKiller Need: Forwards Don't be fooled by the large player count, this team is in need of some strong active players, and is looking to build around the next generation. With a good defensive core in the works, we need some flashy young talent to score goals and bring medal glory back to the Red, White and Blue! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you have any questions you are welcome to message a member of IIHF HO: COMMISSIONER: @artermis CO-COMMISSIONER: @TheDangaZone IIHF HEAD OFFICE MEMBERS @Canadice @Esso2264 @Jexter @PapaSorin @TheSparkyDee |
