[daggeg]

Out of curiosity; how come Czechs don't play fantasy hockey? Last two seasons at SweGamers we had only one Czech manager. But when we partnered up with Dobber Hockey, ahead of this season, we thought we'd have plenty of Czech managers onboard.

and now more serious. Here is much more popular Yahoo. And ESPN and maybe Sportingnews or NHL.com.
