NA Fantasy Hockey?

Empire ran a Fantasy Hockey league for NAers for a few years in a row, but last year we didn't have enough people to make it happen.



Seeing if there's enough interest to run one this year?    (Matt, you can still run it if you want)



ETA- Signups are live now!   See Empire's post below.

  • I still have a couple cash league football openings and a super nintendo prize football league opening. Pm me. Drafts are tuesday and wednesday night in those leagues





    Not trying to thread hijack. Just trying to get that out there for people who are interested in fantasy sports.
  • Big hockey guy here, so I may be interested.
  • Yeah I was gonna start up a league this week. Hated that we missed out last year, we should get the ball rolling asap.
  • I'm interested
  • I haven't played in....man.....forever. I'd be down I guess. I know bimmy lee is a huge hockey fan and he'd definitely play.



    But echoing quest's comment....MORE PLAYERS IN THE NA FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUES ARE NEEDED! PLEASE HELP FILL THOSE LEAGUES!!!!
  • I'm Canadian so of course I wold join a hockey pool!
  • As much as I love hockey, I pass on fantasy sports - prefer watching games without overly focusing on individual player performances. Have fun!
  • Any word on getting this up and running?
  • i am in. hockey is life.
  • I would be willing. I usually get side-tracked by life, but I'm willing if you need people (for hockey, not football)
  • Yeah sorry, been busy as hell. I'll have a league up and running in the next few days. The season starts mid October, so we're still pretty good on time.
  • Ok a league has been made. PM me with your Fantasy Hockey email and i'll add you to the league. We'll shoot for 8 teams, and if we get more, cool. It will be a typical head to head league, Yahoo league, with a live draft on Sunday Oct 9 at 10am PST, 1pm EST. Time can change if people want to change it.



    Make sure to check the scoring categories. As usual I took out PIM and GAA, and added faceoff wins. I'm toying with the idea of adding goalie losses, so someone can't throw a goalie in on the last day to try and steal a point.



    I'll get captn to update the thread title and what not so we can draw more interest. With the WHC going on for a few weeks, we should have a good idea of which players will be ready to go and which might not be so good this year. I can't wait for the NHL season, after tonight's Russia VS North America game, it's gonna be a great year.



    Teams;



    1- empire

    2- xcing1030

    3- captmorgandrinker

    4- dquiros

    5- Jonny_Blades

    6- SONIKtheHEDGEHOG

    7- rockyyaknow

    8- OhnoGold

    For those who haven't played in a couple years - roto is where each category is ranked (goals, assists, etc) and head to head, does that mean we go against only one other player that round or something? Sorry, I've only played fantasy hockey maybe 4 times and its been different rules each time.

    It's a yahoo fantasy league. We have a live draft to make our teams. Every week you go against another team, and whoever wins the most categories, wins the week.

     
  • Ok I sent out a few invites. Again if you're interested, send me an email thats linked to your Yahoo fantasy account, and i'll get you invited.



    Going by a quick count, we're already at about 7. The max we'll go for is 10, so if you want in, get on it fast.



    Oh, and we will be doing an optional money pool. $20 USD buy in, winner and runner up will get the cash. Probably a 70/30 split. So there's that too.
  • I'm caught up with invites as of now. I've sent out 5 and no one has joined yet. So check your spam box or whatever, might have the invite in there.



    We're at 6 basically right now, so far so good.
  • I would, but I hate both the head to head format and the playoff crap at the end, so I'll hang onto my funds this year. Have fun!
  • We're at 7 once all the invites are accepted. I'll send bimmy a PM tonight since he was active in the last 2 leagues we did.



    8 is just the minimum, so if you want in, there's a couple spots still open!
  • Still at 7/8. PM me if you want to play, or maybe you're on the fence because you don't know how it works, I can explain everything for ya.
  • Need 1 more!! Be our hero!
  • If you absolutely need someone, I'll play just so you can. I just really hate this type of format.
  • I've always wanted to try fantasy hockey. I think it'd help grow my knowledge of current players. Been out of the game for a few years. I'm in if you still need someone. I'm not a flake either. If I say I'm in, I'm in. You have my word.
  • Ok folks, we have 8. The league is a go! See you Sunday at the draft, hopefully most of you, if not all, can show up for the fun.
  • Draft tomorrow, 10AM PST. Don't forget! More people at the draft = more fun.
  • I have set my alarm!
  • Good draft guys, nice to see almost everyone turn out. NHL starts on Wednesday, so make sure to set your rosters ahead of time.
