I've been successfully running two keeper leagues beginning in 2009 and I'm told they are the best run keeper leagues anyone has ever joined. Now, I'm starting a 3rd league in large part built on the successful formula of the other two. We just announced it and already have 14 GMs. We are looking for two more GMs. The Inaugural Auction starts on August 30.
Please review the summary below and send me an email if you're interested in taking a closer look at the full rule set. Our GMs are incredibly active so be prepared for some intense game play with lots of trading and fun year-round activities.
Thanks,

WORLD HOCKEY LEAGUE (“WHLâ€) is a long-term money league based on NHL player salary “cap hits†and with Head-to-Head competition. WHL General Managers (“GMâ€) not only decide on roster building but also on how to manage salary cap and contract expirations over time. WHL uses “FAAB†(virtual cash) as a form of payment for various activities, awards and trade currency.
Playing in the WHL requires year-round participation. There is an active offseason with many activities, including bidding for RFAs and UFAs and a general draft, and it’s essential managers play hard year-round.
