THE ORIGINAL FRANCHISE LEAGUE EXPERIENCE
The LMSHL (Last Man Standing Hockey League) is a competitive NHL esports franchise league built to feel like running a real hockey organization. Owners, GMs, and players work together across multiple tiers to build dynasties season after season.
Every season, our community drafts, bids, trades, signs, and manages rosters under a salary cap system that rewards smart team-building as much as pure skill on the ice. Our NHL and AHL tiers are connected, so call-ups, send-downs, and depth pieces all matter. You're not just playing games – you're building a franchise identity.
The league is run like a professional environment: weekly schedules, stat-tracking, standings, waivers, trades, and live site updates all feed into a central hub that players can check at any time. If you've ever wanted the feeling of being in an NHL front office while still lacing up your virtual skates, this is where you get it.
LMSHL is built for long-term competition. Teams keep their cores season over season, rivalries naturally develop, and history actually matters. Championships, records, and storylines are tracked so your performances don't disappear when a new game drops or a season resets.
On top of that, we emphasize fair play, structure, and communication. Clear rules, active admins, and a dedicated stats and scheduling system keep things organized so players can focus on what they're here to do – compete, improve, and win.
What Makes LMSHL Different?
- • True franchise format – Owners, GMs, and AGMs manage rosters, lines, and cap space like a real club.
- • Multi-tier ecosystem – NHL and AHL levels ensure competitive balance and room for development.
