Any new Alumni?
Just like the title says. Any new Alumni players added?
Going over the notes I took when making my Alumni roster for 21. Looking to move some players to different teams, but the addition of any new Alumni players might nullify those moves.
Kinda want to get a head start on paper, then when 22 comes out, I can go all out and get the roster ready by the time roster sharing becomes available.

Thanks for the list. Thus is going to shave off a big piece of my CAP creating time as I have almost half of these players on my CAP list.
Now I can only hope they added more names to the “play by play” list. Especially more Russian, Czech, Slovak, Swedish and Finnish names.
Again, thanks for the list. Appreciate it.
Did I miss jaromir jagr on your list?
That’s just me tho.
The list is too long to type, but I’ll just name a few;
Sergei Fedorov
Alexei Kovalev
Vladimir Konstantinov
Paul Kariya
Craig Janney
Jason Allison
Dale Hunter
Pavol Demitra
Lubos Bartecko
Sandis Ozolinsh
Arturs Irbe
German Titov
Robert Reichel…
I could go on and on, but I won’t. I’m sure there are legal reasons why some of the teams are missing key players.
No problem.
And well, there is some good news and some bad news. The bad news is Guy Lafleur was taken out, and while that's a big loss he is the only one that was removed as far as I know. Guess they lost his rights to use him.
The good news is they added A TON of names to the play by play list. Basically all names from NHL history. Fedorov, Konstantinov, Makarov, Kovalev, Kariya, Demitra, Naslund, Pronovost, Hamrlik, Konowalchuk, Cloutier, Bondra, Ozolinsh, Zhamnov to name a few from the top of my head. You name it and it's likely there. And they also added 'Wing' to the list which means there is now a decent generic name for every position in case the name you want isn't there. 'Goalie', 'Center', 'Wing', and 'Dea' which is alright for defenseman. So I'd say the annoying problem of having to choose an inaccurate play by play name for created players is now behind us.
I wasn't planning on getting NHL 22 as I have a complete and really satisfying alumni roster on NHL 20 I've worked on and off for 2 years, but all the added legends, all the added play by play names and the really nice, shiny new graphics has made me reconsider. Oh, and the roster sharing feature of course. Sadly they didn't add anymore vintage jerseys or customization options though but can't have everything I guess.
Jagr is on Kladno in the Czech league and on the Czech national team.
Yeah, saw that Jagr was in the game, but I still may CAP him. I need that mullet!!!!!
Too bad EA doesn’t let us change the hair style on existing players. Don’t see why the can’t do it. I mean we can change beard style and thickness on existing players. Why not hair.
And in a perfect world, it would be stellar if they’d let us change the head model on non scanned players. Some of the ones they use look absolutely nothing like the person they’re supposed to be.
I just couldn’t understand why so many names were left off the list. It has nothing to do with any legal issues. A name is a name. It’s when you add the players likeness and stats were you have to deal with legal issues.
I mean, my last name is in the game. And it’s a Hungarian name, so it’s not very generic like Smith or Johnson and so on. Nobody asked for my permission to use it, and nobody should have to. It’s just a name.
I think for players with real faces they have a scanned head model which consists of both the face and the hair together and not separate so I understand we can't change the hair for those. For players with generic face though I don't understand why we can't change everything about them.
And I'm glad play by play names won't be an issue going forward. I've been so annoyed by the missing names for years now. The perfectionist in me goes bananas when the announcer refers to Fedorov as 'Zadorov' or whatever else inaccurate name I had to chose for him lol
And I’m pretty amped for the new names. Can’t wait to go through the list. I’m like you. I cringe when I hear some of the names I was FORCED to assign to some of my CAPs. It got to the point where if there wasn’t a name available, I just wouldn’t make the CAP. And that sucks because there’s a lot of good players I couldn’t make exactly for that reason. I have the same thoughts on making CAPs of guys who didn’t wear helmets. I made zero of them.
Tons of guys I wanted to make for my NHL21 Alumni teams, but didn’t due to lack of their name, are now going to be on my alumni roster.
There are still a few missing, like Barrasso, Khristich, Juneau, Irbe…, but all in all, I gotta give props when props are due.
Good work EA.
Now if we could just make CAPs without helmets and if they added the “Friday the 13th” goalie masks back, we could have some stellar Alumni rosters.
Yes all the new names are a great addition. Also I don't know if you saw but in the latest roster update they fixed the goalie masks for several alumni goalies. John Garrett and Paul Harrison finally got the old vintage masks and they changed to the correct model for many as well, like Bernie Parent, Gilles Meloche and others, so this will improve the alumni rosters even more.
Btw, for anyone who is interested in creating alumni rosters, we have this discord group. Feel free to join.

No disrespect to the players of yesteryear, but I want to make a roster of the guys I grew up watching to the guys that just retired.
I know, I know. That means no Stan Mikita or Maurice Richard and the rest of the classic Canadiens greats, etc, etc. This is just what I’m feeling now that a ton of names have been added. Besides, since we can’t make players without helmets or goalies without masks or have access to the “Friday the 13th” masks, I won’t be making any players that fall into that category anyway.
I’ve already come up with a list of over 250 CAPs that I need to add to the over 300 CAP list I currently have.
Who knows, after I finish, I just might go back and put all the classic players back and release another roster. Or, at the very least, I’ll make some created teams with the classic players.
