Fantasy Hockey

PrintWith the new season coming up fantasy hockey is also starting and I am wondering if people are interested in creating a Pensburgh league like last year. So this post is to see if anyone is interested, let me know in the comments if you are and if so what kind of league you want to form.
I am just starting this year with fantasy hocky (or fantasy sports of any kind for that matter), so I don't think I'd be a great commish but I'd try if others don't want that hassle.

I think I organized two leagues last year on Pensburgh. This year it’d be nice to take a roll call again. I have a feeling we’ll have more than 30 people interested.

I’ll organize/help organize. We should use ESPN, they have the best layout for fantasy hockey. They also allow multiple League Managers in a single league. We could let tehchico LM the rotisserie league (and anyone else who wants to help LM) and I’ll volunteer to be an LM for the H2H league. FrankD, would you like to LM for one or both of the leagues as well?

If you or Chico wants to take the reigns I won’t deny you. I’m crazy busy over the next two weeks or so so I might not be able to set anything up right now.
I would however suggest doing the draft after the preseason. For the sake of injuries, cuts, etc.

I agree, having the draft a week before the season starts should be good.
Auction or Snake draft? I’m willing to do either.

I can help as LM aswel if you want, and I agree on the draft time. I like the auction system personally, but snake is fine aswel if more people want that.

I’d be interested! I’ve only played head to head but I’d be up for playing rotisserie

I do love fantasy hockey, though I usually just do drafts, so I’m not 100% sure what the rotisserie or head-to-head formats are. Therefore, I think I’m interested.
In head to head match the teams will be matched against each other, the matched up teams get points in categories such as goals assists, PP goals, +- , W for goaltenders etc. The team with the most points in any given categorie gets a win for that categorie, the team with the most wins wins the match up, match up’s are usually for 1 week.
In a rotissary league the teams are ranked league wide for each categorie the team with the most points in a categorie gets as many points as there are teams in the league. the team with the lowest points in that categorie gets one. if two teams are tied they get half of what they would have earned together (ie they get 8 and 9 for the spots they occupie they both get 8.5 points) again the scores are usually tallied once a week.

Fantasy Hockey
Count me in. I really enjoyed the Pensburgh “B” league last year.
Been thinking of starting a FH team myself but not this year… Still too complicated for my tastes…
Plus I still have a lot on my plate this year… Will have to see how things turn out…
Anyone have a fantasy league for dummies book i could borrow?
Is it October yet?
Just so I never have to answer this again. I'm from Singapore so whenever you see me online, I'm either sleep deprived or just waking up.
Clarkson University League
My Clarkson University League needs a few recruits. We already have a handful of Pittsburgh natives(including myself). This is our league’s 3rd year- it’s a H2H friendly and competitive league. Details inside links below.

We have 8 returning owners. This year we are expanding from 10 to 12 teams (so we are looking for 4 respectable/friendly owners!). The rosters currently in the league are last years rosters and do not affect this year.

Great! What year are you? I graduated in 09. Do you play any sports up there?

I play club broomball and some D-leauge intramural hockey and basketball….I’m graduating this upcoming may. How about you?
Invite sent! Check your spam folder if you don’t see it.
Broomball looked fun, Pennsylvanians never played that sport growing up, haha. Have fun with your last year! And good luck finding employment/grad school. It’s never to early to start your search.
I played on the club hockey team for 1 year and played some junior B for 2 years just over the boarder. I tried out for Clarkson’s team a couple times but Dave Leggio was hogging the spotlight in goal haha. He’s signed by Buffalo now! Fun to see Clarkson hockey players go pro.

I sure hope we do fantasy hockey again next year.
I need redemption for my second-place in League A last year.

You do? I do. I was first all season long as then San Jose Shark’d the first round to finish third. What a sad tale.

I've never played fantasy hockey
but…I’d be willing to let y’all pwn me.
That’s code for “I’m in.”
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
I've never played either...
But I’d like to give it a shot.
