Fantasy Hockey Begins!

Hey Hockey Fans!

The time has come to begin the new Fantasy Hockey Season! Time to take up your team from last year and defend your honor (or if you didn't do so well - regain your honor). For all the newcomers, this is a chance to prove that you should have been here all along. If you think you know hockey... this is the way to prove it! Join our fantasy league!

Since we decided to make this a keeper league, every team that existed last year gets to keep two players from their roster w/o drafting (deadline to choose those players: 9/5/07). Of course, if you are new - don't despair! There will be an expansion draft allowing each new team to get two franchise players prior to the main draft.

For details, check out the fantasy hockey section of our blog: Hockey Section of our Blog
And specifically:
Drafting Rules

Proposed Timeline:
9/5 = Deadline to reserve franchise players.
9/6 - 9/10 = Expansion Draft
9/10 - 9/23 = Main Draft

Fantasy Football Madness

It's that time of year again. People prepping for that lazy football weekend by stocking nachos, pretzels, cheese balls, chips and cold beverages. People buying that new uniform, breaking out the giant foam finger, checking their TV feeds, scoping out the newest sports bars, and readying their voices to scream at the refs. The draft has come and gone. Training camps have started and everyone has opinions as to which teams will do what this year. Of course everyone wants Vick as their #1 draft choice ... wait scratch that. Regardless, Fantasy Football is here ! Invites to the league went out this morning and about 18 people were invited for a 12 slot league. This provides a chance for everyone to play once and a top 8 playoff. If there's enough interest we will divide things up to 2 leagues for each division. If there are more people that wish to join please contact me via e-mail and I'll send out more invites.
