Howdy, all.

With the most recent change to the SMJHL switching to only 3 lines of forwards, this will necessitate a larger amount of minutes per player required on average. To help ease the detrimental effects of low stamina, SHL HO has graciously agreed to increase the base starting Stamina attribute for all skaters from 12 to 14. All skaters will still start with 155 TPE to spend, but for skaters Stamina will begin at 14 instead of 12.

What this means for all skaters is that every skater with 14 or more Stamina will be able to re-allocate 17 TPE to account for the cost of already paying for the upgrade. Anyone with 13 Stamina will get 5 TPE to re-allocate and will have their stamina increased to 14, and anyone with 12 will receive no TPE to re-allocate and will have theirs increased to 14 as well.

The Player Build Tool and the Create A Player section will be updated to reflect this change, and this change will only affect skaters, not goalies. In addition, GMs will not be able to redistribute the 17 TPE elsewhere for any IAs on their roster.
