[casual_games] Hey Everyone... and looking for help!

[Brian Tegart]

Hi Rusty,

We have been in contact with the NHL several times, and a partnership with
them is a definite possibility. We are also in contact with other leagues,
such as the WHL and some European ones. Although we obviously can't start
selling an NHL version without a contract in place with them, we will be
going ahead with the project anyway (by just changing the text/graphics) -
the prototype is currently "skinnable" allowing us to change the graphics
and other UI very quickly - we may even release the skinning tool as part of
the final game to allow users to make their own versions (for local sports
leagues, etc.)

Brian

Always interesting to see new projects. Years ago I worked on a baseball 
game and the negotiations for licenses were expensive and time consuming 
(not that I did them but I saw what others had to go through). Did you 
get the rights from NHL to use their name?
