CCHL Update: Three seasons revenue, Draft Lottery and playoff reminder

 Hi Everyone,  

Just a few things about our upcoming season game revenue payouts and the Draft Lottery: 

I'll be concise and provide the amounts here for the upcoming seasons but will post the breakdown of how the numbers came about on the blog.  It's detailed and as some in the executive committee lamented, "too detailed for them to understand" - an unfortunate pitfall of myself being a business analyst at work.  

Future Seasons Payouts:

The NHL's ability to project where the salary cap is going has allowed us to project where our payouts for games will go over the next three years.  

As always the goal was to get to 90% of the NHL spend, which we have done below, and wanted to give you a sneak peek at what it would be over the next three years.  

The bonus and playoff revenues will remain unchanged in the next three years at this point as they are standard and does not take into account what people are spending on payroll at all.  

In 25-26 teams will get:

WIN:  $1,650,000

LOSS: $1,225,000

SOL/OTL:  $1,450,000

In 26-27 teams will get:

WIN: $1,800,000

LOSS:$1,335,000

SOL/OTL: $1,580,000

In 27-28 teams will get:

WIN: $1,980,000

LOSS: $1,450,000

SOL/OTL: $1,775,000

Of course, if the NHL changes their numbers downward as a result of something (better not be another bloody pandemic), we will adjust accordingly too.  In other words, still be very cognizant of your finances as this is merely meant to keep up with the NHL, assuming teams continue to spend like most do to the cap.  I'll be honest I'm super curious how many teams will spend $105+ million but hey, we'll find out soon enough, right?  

DRAFT LOTTERY:

We will do the draft lottery on Thursday night (February 27th) after days 1 and 2 of the playoffs at 7:00PM Eastern time.  

We will once again do this on zoom.  If you are interested in attending, please le let me know so I can send you the zoom link.  

PLAYOFF REMINDER: 

We always play two days at a time during playoffs.  This is because Day 1 is Corfield, Day 2 is Cansoa Conference.  Every team will play every day and you get the rest day on your roster when the other conference plays.  

Also just a reminder on goalie usage in the playoffs.  

45+ Regular season games played (CCHL) equals 7 games per playoff series...
40-44 Regular season games played (CCHL) equals 6 games per playoff series...
35-39 Regular season games played (CCHL) equals 5 games per playoff series...
30-34 Regular season games played (CCHL) equals 4 games per playoff series...
21-29 Regular season games played (CCHL) equals 3 games per playoff series...
16-20 Regular season games played (CCHL) equals 2 games per playoff series...
<16 Regular season games played (CCHL) equals 0 games per playoff series...

If you are in a spot where you don't have any goalie games available on your eligible guys, we move to the lowest-rated goalie on your roster for the remainder of the series.  

Best of luck to all those teams competing for 8th place in their respective conferences.
