Checking in on teams' backup goalie pace...

Reminder of the rule: Your backup goalie(s) must play a minimum of 900 minutes (or 15 full games) over the course of a 58-game VHA season.

Teams *Still* Shy of Minimum:

• WPG pace = 841 (+584)
• CAR pace = 840 (-11)
• NJ pace = 613 (+66)

So good work PHI, COL and BUF for putting your team back on pace. Any team that remains on this list as of the next randomizer run will have its starting goalie automatically injured for the remainder of the regular season.

In order to counter EA's botched goalie fatigue factor, VHA enforced a backup goalie minimum of 900 minutes played across the league many seasons ago and is still true today.

As we are at roughly the halfway point of the season, this notice serves as an early warning to teams that are currently NOT on pace to meet this mandatory minimum. If you are a GM of one of these teams, it is advised you take immediate action to put your team back on pace to meet the mandatory minimum, otherwise your starting goalie will be at risk of taking an enforced leave from your team for personal reasons. Some of these teams may be CPU teams, so subbers are encouraged to use the backup goalies for those teams in an effort to help them reach the mandatory minimum without the need for enforcement.

Without further ado, the teams currently not on pace to meet the mandatory minimum of 900 backup goalie minutes in Season 10 are:

Teams *Just* Shy of Minimum:

• PHI pace = 896
• CAR pace = 851
• COL pace = 812

Teams *Well* Shy of Minimum:

• BUF pace = 677
• NJ pace = 547
• WPG pace = 257
