Fantasy Hockey league looking for players

Last week, I opened a fantasy hockey league, and it filled immediately. Due to a couple of requests, I opened another. That second league still has a few openings.

Click here to join, or you can do it the old fashioned way by going to the Yahoo fantasy hockey page and using the following info to join:

league ID#: 25035
password: zamboni

This league will use an on-line draft which is scheduled for Tuesday September 23 at 7:30pm eastern time. Please join and invite anybody you want.

Also, there's going to be a major change around here within the next few days. I'll keep everyone posted.

Second fantasy hockey league opened!

Due to the first 2008 league filling up extremely quickly, I was thinking about opening a second league. I've had more than one request for a second league, so I've set it up. The other option was to re-open registration for the first one, but frankly, nobody wants a fantasy league with more than 12 teams.

You can link directly to the league sign-up page, which is again on yahoo and free of charge. If that link doesn't work, you can manually go to the yahoo fantasy hockey section and use the following info to enter this private league:

league ID#: 25035
password: zamboni

Also, feel free to enter the Pro Football pickem pool I've set up. Although the NFL season has begun, this league hasn't. It's set to start with week two's games. All you have to do is pick the winner for each game. Go to the sign-in page and enter the following:

league ID# 67093
password pickem


In each case, please feel free to enter and invite whomever you want to join us.

This fantasy hockey league is tentatively scheduled to have a live on-line draft on Tuesday September 23 at 7:30 pm eastern time. Please join in!

Fantasy hockey league open!

I've had a lot of questions about the fantasy hockey league, and I'm happy to say that I've got the league set up.

Go here to sign up. If, for some reason, that link doesn't work, go to the Yahoo Fantasy Hockey page, then sign up that way. Once again (and so it will keep an archive of stats), the league is called "The boys of winter". The information you will need is

league id#: 1335
password: stanley

This league is open to any and all comers. For now, it's limited to 12 spots, so move quickly. If the response is good enough, I'll set up a second league.

For those who played last season and remember how ridiculously big I set the roster sizes, that's been changed to a much more manageable size.

None of the settings are set in stone, but I've also changed some of the scoring categories from last season. Unless there's a great enough demand for a daily roster change, we'll use a weekly system with weeks starting on Monday.

Sign up, and invite whomever you want. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at redblackhockey@earthlink.net.

Fantasy hockey looking for a few more teams

I have a couple of fantasy hockey leagues set up over on Yahoo. The season is about to start and there are a couple of vacancies in one of the leagues.

To join, just go to the Yahoo fantasy hockey page, sign in (or start a free account) and use the following information to jump in:

league ID#: 12001
password: whalers

The on-line draft time is set for 8:00 pm (eastern) on Tuesday night. There are currently eight teams in and four spots open.
We're set up to have kind of a deep roster. The draft will be 25 rounds, and each team will start 20 players. EAch team will also have room for up to two players on injured reserve.

We will use head-to-head matchups and rosters are submitted once a week with the weeks starting on Mondays.

Your starting lineup will have
3 centers
1 left wing
1 right wing
4 wingers (right or left)
1 forward (any forward position)
6 defensemen
2 "utility" players of any position at all
2 goalies

5 players on the bench
up to 2 players on injured reserve.

Jump on in!

I make no promises, but there may be a prize of nominal value to the winner.

Fantasy Hockey needs players

I'd like to invite everyone to join a fantasy hockey league that I've set up on Yahoo.

The league is set to be a 12 team league with head-to-head week-long games. Each team will consist of three (3) centers, one (1) left wing, one (1) right wing, four (4) wings, one (1) forward, six (6) defensemen, two (2) "utility" players, two (2) goalkeepers and five (5) bench players. The scoring details aren't really important right now.

The league is set up with Yahoo, and here's what you need to know to join:
League name: The boys of winter
League ID #: 12001
password: whalers

If you'd prefer, I can e-mail you an invitation with an easy to use sign-up form. Just leave a comment here or email me: redblackhockey (at) earthlink dot net.

Don't pay attention to the draft time/date. That'll probably change.

This is free to sign up, and as of this moment, I don't have plans to give prizes, but I won't rule it out entirely.
