With the EHL expanding to 8 teams, some structure is in order. You know what that means! DIVISIONS!

Celestia Division (based on the old Eastern Conference like old Adams/Patrick Divisions shiz)
Fillydelphia Flyers
Canterlot Equestriens
Manehattan Rangers
Crystal Empire Capitals

Luna Division (based on the old Western Conference like Smythe/Norris Divisions)
Ponyville Golden Leafs
Appleloosa Black Apples
Cloudsdale Red Wings
Los Pegasus Kings


Games against division opponents: 6 (home and away)
Games against other division opponents: 4 (home or away, alternating each season)

Por ejemplo, Ponyville's hypothetical schedule *means divisional games
Gm 1 - vs. Los Pegasus*
Gm 2 - vs. Fillydelphia
Gm 3 - @ Cloudsdale*
Gm 4 - @ Crystal Empire
Gm 5 - vs. Appleloosa*
Gm 6 - @ Los Pegasus*
Gm 7 - vs. Cloudsdale*
Gm 8 - @ Manehattan
Gm 9 - vs. Canterlot
Gm 10 - @ Appleloosa*

Then playoffs would be Division champ vs. #4 division, #2 division vs. #3 division, then winners of those two series face off in the Divisional Finals, then each divisional finals winner play for the Celestia Cup.
