hockey season starts next week. sorry i waited so late to start this but here goes anyway. i'm inviting everyone from here and macfora to join so hopefully we'll get enough to have a nice league in time. you need to sign up ASAP. i'll be setting the draft as ready on monday night if we can get at least 6 people to join.

In order to join, just go to
http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey
click the Sign Up Now! button and choose to Join a Custom League. Then, when prompted, enter the following information...

League ID#: 67333
Password: sharks

it's free, all you need is a yahoo id (which is free if you don't already have one)
 
so far one team signed up for hockey. would like to see at least 4 more. welcome to the Boston Bruins!!

btw - it's a head to head league with an autodraft, daily roster changes and IT'S FREE!
 
the link appears to be working just fine now. you can also find it by going to the main yahoo games page and selecting fantasy hockey.
 
ah, i see he figured it out. welcome to mdnky and the Cyclones!

3 teams so far. need more.
 
still looking for more teams - 4 - 6 more would be ideal. 2 more would be enough. i'd like to set us draft ready late monday nite. this means owners should be ranking their draft order before then. if we don't have more players by then, i may wait til tuesday night and hope we get our draft processed in less than 24 hours as the hockey season starts weds. nite.
 
oh, well, it's definitly the yahoo version.

need more players!! where are the Canadiens around here when you need them? :p
 
well, we still only have 4 teams. i'm not going to make us draft ready until we have at least 6 teams. i'd really like to have 8. sure would be nice if some more people would join.

at any rate, we may miss the first week of the season. no biggie i guess. hockey lasts forever and then some.
 
ok, fantasy sports are based on the real game - in this case, the National Hockey League. fantasy sports are scored based upon the accomplishments of the real life player. but your fantasy team is made up of players from different teams. so even if a guy's real team loses, he still might score you enough points to help you win. and while some scoring categories are obvious, like goals and assists, others make up for other ways players perform. the secret is to assemble and manage a team that consistently performs well. some teams pretty much come like that out of the draft process. others will have players that don't live up to expectations. these players are best replaced thru free agency or trades. watching who the undrafted players are that are doing good is part of it.

the best way to learn how it works is to just play. my first year i didn't know anything about it but managed to win one of the three leagues i was in. of course, one of my other ones came in last and another was eliminated in the first round of playoffs.

as far as how we compete against each other - each week you get matched against another team in the league. you have to beat them to accumulate wins. at the end there is a playoff system that determines the final winner.

just ask specific questions if i still haven't explained enough. we're just playing for fun and 'bragging rights'. it's free. all it costs you is a little time.

something's wrong in your url arden. page not found is all i get. and if this is another of your 'i don't like sports' replies, you can take it elsewhere.
 
Well, the URL is supposed to be a straight image, but it puts out the URL instead, though it works when I click on it. I'll upload it if I need to.

And I'm not going to say anything about my opinions about sports, just that.

thanks - I just started playing Fantast Football on yahoo (which is worthless, cuz I barely follow football...), but since I had the account already setup, and I LOVE hockey, I'm totally in!

hopefully I fare better in Hockey!
