Fantasy: 2016-17 Fantasy Hockey Sign Up (registration closed)

[Harbessix]

Been doing fantasy hockey for just under 10 years, probably should be in D1 or D2, have not participated in an HF Sharks pool to date. Out of curiosity, approximately when will the drafts be taking place? Otherwise, looking forward to playing alongside fellow Sharks fans.

Depending on who is in what division, the commissioner of your respective league will pick a date/time to try to fit the needs of as many league members as possible. Obviously, one time isn't going to work for everyone.

Gotcha, thanks. Can't wait to get started

23 teams does not make 4 divisions - come on people!

If we have trouble we might have to move people up into 2 divisions

Yea, the forum doesn't really seem as populated as it has been in years past. Hopefully there ends up being enough for 4 leagues.

I've played fantasy for one year.
D4
No.
In my league I placed 1st but half the league wasn't playing.

I promise I'm better at fantasy than I am at grammar.

It's also the offseason. I haven't posted in the Sharks forum that much during the summer. I expect a bit of an uptick in September, maybe even during the World Cup.

Well, there are two mistakes that some people make that you didn't, so I'll say that your grammar is fine.

 

[VanIslander]

• I've played fantasy hockey at HfBoards since 2004. I helped create the fantasy board a decade ago by arguing for a place to put our all-time drafts (ATD) and other fantasy draft games.
• Division 1 or 2.
• I wasn't in the HFSharks league last year because I missed the sign ups by a couple of hours.

It's all an elaborate ruse so that when i'm placed in D3 people won't be ready.

 

[glasgow26]

I'm interested. Been playing fantasy hockey for seven years, played in D3 I believe last season. Pretty sure I finished somewhere in the bottom half of the standings. I'd love to play in D3 or D2 this season if there's room.

Yahoo page is up, c'mon people let's do this!

I noticed that the other day, but of course, there's nothing on the front page that it is open.

Only at 25 (hockeyball is not confirmed)... come on, guys.

Are we able to just do 2 divisions this year?

 

[rangerssharks414]

There are usually four. It'll depend on how many people sign up in the next couple of weeks, but it doesn't look like there will be four divisions this year.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Unless there's an influx in the near future, we should probably cap it at 30 teams and 3 divisions.

It's usually leagues of 12. I know last year some people ended up doing two leagues to fill in the space though.

Hmm, ok. Good to know.

 

[rangerssharks414]

12 teams per league work out perfectly because there are 22 scoring periods during the season, which means you face everyone exactly twice. If there are say, 10 teams, there will be unbalanced schedules.

 

[209]

I will play two leagues if necessary...

 

[themelkman]

Hmm, ok. Good to know.

It looks like it might be two leagues of 13/14

I'm sure if Yahoo had Corsi or other "advanced" stats, the younger hipster crowd would jump on it
