League business

As this will be the league’s first season, teams were needed to fill the six spots. Four teams were slated to join after the MHL’s March Round-Robin, which eventually ended in the Augustine Yetis, Excelsior Red Star, Salem Spartans, and Oranmore Scouts joining, as well as the two expansion clubs, the Riel Island Sounders and Salem Thunder, owned by Jim Frost and Saionji Kintsune respectively.

The champion team will be awarded the United Champion Cup and promoted to the MHL, and replaced by the bottom team of the MHL conference the champion team is entering.
