Well Gentleman,
It's been fun while it lasted. I just wanted to personally (as personal as a internet message board can get) thank each and everyone of you for contributing towards a great fantasy hockey experience. I really enjoyed my time in the HFNHL but as of late, I have not been able to dedicate myself to the league as much I would have liked (and at numerous times as much as I should have). There are various qualities that make the HFNHL one of the best, if not, the best FHL league on the net. One of those is the activity and participation of the general managers. In a league of 30, it's not always easy to make sure that everyone approaches their responsibilities with the same level of dedication but somehow the HFNHL does well in this regard. Over the last year, I became one of those "bad/irresponsible" General Managers. I quit not because I didn't find the league compelling or as fun anymore but because I felt that I did not deserve to be a GM anymore. Quite frankly, only due to the kindness of the admin team, did I last so long. I already had my three strikes yet they gave me another chance.
So I guess my message to the rest is to cherish your team and your participation in the HFNHL and live up to the responsibilities of being a good GM.
Many thanks to the admin team that serve as the backbone of this league (Rob, Rich, Matt, Nick, Drew, Doug).
Maybe one day (down, down the road) - if I become a good little boy - I'll work (earn) my way back into this league. You have been forewarned.
Good Luck to all of you in the upcoming season.
