Fantasy Hockey League

With all these other leagues, I figured one more can't hurt. Anyone up for a fanstasy hockey league (via yahoo)? It would be for free, with whatever settings you guys want. The last day for Live Drafts is the 27th of October, so we have lots of time.

Teams:
Cable - CG LEAFS
sdude - HC Weed and Honey
#12 - #12
Keo - Keo
keepnitgangsta1 -
cyanide - OilCountry
Pera - Ottawa Senators
Peachy - WizardsOfOz
wisdom_kid - wisdom_kid (the one with the funky letters)
ixcuincle - Ixcuincle's Team

by **Cable** on Sun Oct 01, 2006 3:28 am

Cool. Let's aim for at least 6 teams.

by **#12** on Sun Oct 01, 2006 7:20 am

by **Keo** on Sun Oct 01, 2006 9:39 am

I'm in too.

by **Cable** on Mon Oct 02, 2006 9:31 am

If we don't get more guys soon, I'll start sending out PM's.

by **Cable** on Tue Oct 03, 2006 9:35 am

I sent out 6 PMs. Anyone else in? If we don't get any more, do you guys still want to go ahead with 4 teams?

by **cyanide** on Tue Oct 03, 2006 10:49 am

I'm in. My hockey knowledge isn't that great, but what the hey

by **Cable** on Tue Oct 03, 2006 11:58 am

Good to see you on board, cy.

Okay, I'll create the league as soon as I get some input. Head-to-Head style or Points style? Are there any stats you guys want to be included? I don't know what our choices are, though. Is there any draft time that isn't good, or do we want to Autodraft?

by **#12** on Tue Oct 03, 2006 1:29 pm

head to head

by **Pera** on Tue Oct 03, 2006 11:32 pm

If their is still room for me than I'm in dude,if not no worries.
And yeh since I'm new to this kinda of stuff,someone will probably have to tell the basics of fantasy leagues

.

Cool. Basically there's a fantasy draft (same as a fantasy draft in Live) and everyone picks their players. Then you can either go Head-to-Head each week against one other team and try to win more categories than your opponent, or we do a Points league where everyone tries to get the most points by the end of the year in each category.

You'll need to register with Yahoo! Fantasy Sports first, then join the league (which I'll make soon). I've never done fantasy hockey with Yahoo! before, so I'm not sure what the categories are, but I would think it's like Goals, Assists, PIM, Wins, Saves, Shutouts (?), GAA, etc.

by **Cable** on Wed Oct 04, 2006 6:34 am

Here's the league settings. I increased the number of players per team because we don't have that many teams. I can also change which stats we play for. If there are any settings you'd like changed, just ask and we'll decide. I'll PM the league name and password to everyone.

HC Weed and Honey :dance:

by **Cable** on Thu Oct 05, 2006 5:37 am

Thanks guys. Btw everyone, Peachy's in too.

With Peachy we've got 8, so if anyone else wants to join who hasn't spoken up yet, do it quick otherwise we'll go ahead with 8 teams.

by **Abctest123** on Sun Oct 08, 2006 12:46 pm

I would join, but that lockout two years ago made me lose some interest in hockey, making me totally lost as to who is now considered good or who is crap.

by **Cable** on Sun Oct 08, 2006 1:08 pm

I don't think you're the only one like that here. Why don't you join anyway, just for fun?

by **Username123** on Mon Oct 09, 2006 4:26 am

I would like to join.

by **Cable** on Mon Oct 09, 2006 4:37 am

Ok.

Mofo, are you in? With wisdom_kid we have 9 teams, so someone will get a bye each week ...

by **Keo** on Mon Oct 09, 2006 10:35 am

I'll be in on time for the draft barring some unexpected disruption. My team name is Keo.

by **Cable** on Mon Oct 09, 2006 1:21 pm

Cool. Wisdom_kid's in now, too.

Is there anyone out there who wants to join? As of right now we have 9 teams, but it would be better if we had 10 so no-one has a bye.

EDIT: How many of you are planning to be at the draft? I'd like to have it 1 hour earlier if we can, how does that sound?

by **Keo** on Tue Oct 10, 2006 3:37 am

Saturday October 14 @ 10 AM Eastern? That sounds ok to me. I'm about 85-90 % sure I'll be at the draft.

by **sdude** on Tue Oct 10, 2006 4:22 am

draft time sounds good (Y)

by **Cable** on Tue Oct 10, 2006 1:06 pm

I'll give everyone a chance to decide on the draft time, but it looks like it's going to be 10:00 AM EDT. Oh, and ixcuincle has now joined the league, so we have 10.
