This is a new thread as the last one grew beyond my preperations.
Please do not post here unless you write biosThanks.
If you think the bio thread is coming together slowly let me tell you that I have spent thousands of hours here on this thread and it's two predecessors.(Which have been Deleted by me.)
These are the players selected in the all time hockey drafts 1,2,3,4 4b AND 5
I plan on linking each player to their player bio on the legend of hockey website.
If you know of a better online bio source please let me know. When a bio is scarce with player info I will try and find a better source to bring the memory of the former great back to life. If you have info on a player and would like for me to use it please send me a pm. I'll give you credit for your work if you wish.
If you write and want to do some bios (Some bios on the HHOF website are vague)
I would love to have some help!
Thanks to BM67 Murphy2 HockeyOutsider #66 Vanislander Raleh for helping with the bios
This is the Forward into the draft. I'll rewrite it. I have touched on many of the concepts that I want to introduce. I just needs to blend it in a lil more smoothly.
These are the players who have been selected in at leats one draft. Most players are selections are based on 5 prime seasons. There have been a few rare exceptions as generational talents are getting picked in this draft rather early in there careers.We as a league won't stop that as each GM has freedom to select any player who has played in organized hockey over the last 130 yrs.
If you pick a player who is a rookie in Draft #1 because this player has a phenomal Inaugerial season you are making a risky pick that could jeapordize your over all record as a GM by the time we get to 10 or 20 drafts. If the rookie player gets a career ending injury then that will lessen his career status.Though I think most will agree some recent rookie players are too tempting not to select.
Todays players are well conditioned high performace athletes who make millions of dollars during there careers. These players have there lifestyle and trade because of the efforts of every generation who played the game before them. They owe a debt of graditude to the for fathers who started the game. Players from a long past era played for the love of the game. Many were amateurs others made amateur wages had had to have a offseason jobs
If the game we love had a lifetime simular to man. We would firstly characterize the game and the baby steps it took to grow the game as the infancy of our beloved sport. The memories of many of those players from the pre-nhl era are lost in time. The game and the athletes who played the game have evolved far beyond from there origins. It is unfair to compare atheltes from different eras.No one wants to undermind the greatness of players from various eras. No doubt todays players are better conditioned then players from just a generation ago. Great modern players can play 20 years if they don't suffer a career ending injury. The game and the players have evolved from the beginings. Some may argue that players from another time may not be able to compete with the monster players of the modern era. Exceptiontional athlete who played at a high level for nearly twenty or more years would include Howe Horton H Richard and Im sure a few other stud players.
If we can magically select great players from different eras and place them onto teams that would compete today then we could also sumerize that they would use todays modern conditioning and training techniques. The drive and desire to be the best would take over and they would compete like all great players do.
After the lockout the nhl has experinced a re-birth of sorts. They have a new american TV deal with a broadcasting partner that presents the game within a culture that will grow the game and broaden awareness.The game has a multitude of new rules that has allowed the skilled speedy players to break away from the clutching and grabing of the pre lockout nhl.
Truely todays nhl and todays players represent the age of a young adult with a future that will be unparraled. Everything about our game is more advanced in the era of the new millenium. The game has evolved from rovers and 6 men teams to 23 man teams comprised of well conditioned high performance athletes. The games and the rules haveall evolved many for the better and I'm sure next year there will be more rule changes to come.
Equipment is scientificly tested before a profesional player ever see's his skates, stick or hockey gear. The way we share memories of our favorite players have evolved from a oral tradtion to digitally enhanced computer programs which allow online file sharing of clips and games.
We don't tell stories of moments in games like they use to one hundred years ago.We don't listen to the radio broadcasts of Foster Hewitt. We will watch Hockey Night in Canada Live if we livei n Canada or have a dish. Games on TV became a saturday ritual as we watch hockey and listened to the game being described with much character excitement and passion .
We are lucky to have had great play by play men like Danny Gallivan Dan Kelly Bob Cole Jim Hughson Mike Emerick and Gord Murphy. The memories and keepsakes of the players we worshiped has evolved too. We have gone from drawings photos and hockey cards to online shirnes made by the fans for their hockey heroes.
This grandesque brutal ballet with elements of speed skill and excitment is a joyful wonder to watch. We live through these players on the seats of our living room arm chairs and we emulate there moves during a friday night bear league pickup game in our local cold forum. The mutual love of the game ties us all togther into one big extended family.
None of us would have this in our life if it wasnt for those who struggled during the infancy of the game. They lived to play hockey and when the ycouldnt some didn't want to live anymore.We all bow and thank those who played the game before we ever laced up a pair of skates. This draft is in part a time machine to re-visit and thank the great players from the past. I hope you enjoy the bios and the drafts.
Note:
Any bio other sources would be appreciated.
Be it player info, write ups, bios, scouting reports or playing clips.
If you can write brief player bio intros I would appreciate your efforts and offcourse you will be thanked. If you help please know that your not just helping me and the other draft managers but your helping intoduce some of the best hockey players ever to all hockey fans that visit this forum thankyou

Finding sweater #'s for ome of the older players was a task. If a hockey great played for the New York Rangers and the Maple Leafs odds are the number listed is a Leafs# or Let say the player played for Ottawa Senators for 9 yrs and leafs for 3 yrs and there is no record of the senator #'s but there is a list of leaf sweater #'s.
Use the Leaf player sweater #.
If two players are selected for the same fantasy draft team and they have the same hockey number we list them with there know sweater #'s.Even if you have two # 9's put them both down as #9 each.We want to be accurate as possible.
If you cannot find a player sweater # make one up e.g #25!
