I decided to start a fantasy league this year. (I am going with 10 teams) I want to open it to SimHQ members first. First and foremost, it is free, and meant for fun. The battle is for bragging rights. (Yahoo does give out cool virtual trophies lol, and your success is documented year to year) I would prefer we get enough participation here, to have a league made up of SimHQ members only. This is why I am announcing it early. If we need to open it up to the public the flesh out the league I will open it to the public close to draft day. (or perhaps you know a friend or family member who would be interested) All rules can be discussed before hand, there is lots of time. We can discuss roster size, point categories etc. I have been playing Yahoo Fantasy since 2018. I always participated in hockey pools at work before that. I needed my fix during retirement. If you have experience in fantasy sports, all the better. If you are a fan of hockey, and want to make watching the games a little more interesting, please join. Ideally, I would like this to be a keeper league. A league that carries over season to season. Keeper meaning you get to keep a select number of players per year (usually 4 or 5) before the draft. Or it can be a league that starts with a fresh draft every year. All this can be discussed. NHL start date is October 12th. Live draft is set for Sunday Oct. 2nd 7:30 PM EST. (can be discussed). Please feel free to join here Drop The Mitts Fantasy Hockey League

I like fantasy sports, so consider me a tentative maybe.
But the Flyers suck so bad I don't follow hockey like I used to, but that's surmountable. I'll kick it around.
I hope your fantasy league does better than my SimHQ Formula 1 fantasy league which has just three people playing.
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

I think there are about 5 of us who follow hockey though. That's the beauty of fantasy sports, even if your favorite team sucks, you can still cheer on you fantasy players. It keeps the season interesting.

CBS Sports on the iPhone app. I forgot about CBS. I played fantasy hockey there way back in 2003 or so.

I used to get talked into a fantasy football league with some of my friends from work. I've never been a big fan of the NFL, although I really liked college football, so I had no idea what I was doing. Is was only fun to me because we took turns hosting a draft party, always with good food and drink. The prize money for the championship win was usually $1,200. The rule was you then had to take the league out for dinner with the winnings. That ate into a good chunk of the money, but it was always a really good time.
I'm thinking about joining too WT. Sounds like fun, especially if it's laid back.

3 of 10 spots gone.
Decided to go with a 10 team league. That will make for more talented rosters. Tope 6 teams make the playoffs.
The point system is broken up into 13 categories.
Forwards/ Defense - Goals (G), Assists (A), Powerplay Goals (PPG), Powerplay Assists (PPA), Game-Winning Goals (GWG), Shots on Goal (SOG), Hits (HIT), Blocks (BLK)
Goalies - Wins (W), Goals Against Average (GAA), Saves (SV), Save Percentage (SV%), Shutouts (SHO)
Daily rosters - Center x3, LW x3, RW x3, D x4, Util x2, Goalie x2
Bench - 4players, plus 2 Injured Reserve spots
As for keepers, I would like to go with 5 players, with a max of 2 goalies.
