Tutorial, how to change torf name.
For example, you want to change this Detroit torf name -
Open local.viv ( it's located in your NHL09/fe folder ) in bigGUI and
export file frontEnglish.bin to desktop. Then open frontEnglish.bin in
EA Strings Editor 3.0. Now click on plus sign and in opened window
enter text - write what name of torf you want see in game and click OK
- You can get EA Strings Editor here.
Now in Hash String window you must write that default, game generated
torf name and for this torf it's a det_vintage_4 ( you don't need write
a $ sign in front of text ), after that click on Hash button, then save
and close EA Strings Editor 3.0.
Now you need this bat file - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2HAAT4ognPFZ01tcEFuc1JOUlU&resourcekey=0-Ix2RIplrIUlpCf1HNtPJAg&authuser=dsgamby%40gmail.com&usp=drive_fs Thanks Tomahawk for .bat file!
Copy Strings.bat and frontEnglish.bin to your NHL09 folder and run
Strings.bat ( you don't need run BHimport, because it's imported in
Strings.bat ).
Now run game and check your torf name!

Creating a Custom Team using a downloaded Roster.
1. Starting with a clean installation, I created the custom teams I
wanted to play with, and selected art and jerseys that I wanted to
replace with my own originals.
2. I prepared my modifications. I wanted to use my own jerseys, ice,
front-end graphics (logos and torfs). These I installed manually, since
I was doing a lot of it step-by-step and wanted to check each step.
3. I created players with NHL View and exported them to a folder on my hard drive.
4. Using NHL View, I noted all of the relevent information for the
custom teams I had created, such as art number, play-by-play number,
jersey number, and so on.
5. I backed up all the files I had altered, especially the files used
by NHL View. I made sure to copy my db.viv file into a new folder, so I
could still easily open it with NHL View.
6. I installed the BvH rosters and PNHL 07(as instructed in the packs' readme files).
7. I started a dynasty in the game, replacing one team with one of the custom teams in the BvH database.
8. Again using NHL View, I changed the information for the custom team
to the information from step 4. Then I imported my players to replace
the players on the custom team.
