[edit] Updating Template:Professional Hockey
I am pondering some changes to this template. First, I would like to convert the current table format to a collapsible navbox format, as was done with everything else at Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Navboxes. I'm also going to suggest including defunct professional leagues, such as the World Hockey Association, and the International Hockey League (1945-2001). I think this would make it more complete, and consistently formatted. Flibirigit (talk) 18:03, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- If you start adding defunct leagues it will become messy, as there are tonnes of leagues that were at their time the equivalent of what we look at the IHL to be. I have no problem with making it colapsible, but I don't think you should add the defunct leagues in. -Djsasso (talk) 18:06, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- I was thinking of keeping defunct league in a separate group. The current leagues at the top, defunct leagues at the bottom, and the whole thing would be collapsible. I'm going to play around with a test page for it the box with and without defunct leagues. Flibirigit (talk) 18:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- By all means give it a go. :) -Djsasso (talk) 18:38, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- I put a test template below, without any levels. I'm working on the display if we wanna put levels in. Flibirigit (talk) 20:39, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- There are two more test templates located at User:Flibirigit/template. Any feedback? Flibirigit (talk) 06:23, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Test box 1 might look better if the High/Mid/Low Level headings were group items instead of list items. Test box 2 might have the same problem but it could become very tall. The Major/Minor League headings draw my attention before I see the Defunct Leagues group/sideheading. Current Leagues lack a group/subheading so those become a bit diffuse. --Bamsefar75 (talk) 13:28, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- New proposal
I've bascially scrapped some other ideas and replicated the previous template, and converted it to a collapsible navbox format. Have a look at {{Professional Hockey}}. I hope this is a good solution. Flibirigit (talk) 20:28, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

How is the new IHL listed as a low level league when it has a higher salary cap than the ECHL? Acronjsmith (talk) 13:52, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
