Hockey Le Magazine (I received it as a gift, the predictions section sucks) has a fun article titled 1001 types of pools. Here are some of the suggested types of pools which I personnaly wouldn\'t try but some are intriguing:

Average point per game type of pool (even if you have band aid boys, you don\'t need to worry);

Team type pool in which each pooler picks 10 NHL teams;

East- west and central Provinces/states and countries type pool in which each pooler picks 3 players from a different country and regions of Canada and US;

Rookie pool;

Pool by age of players;

Pool by letter in which a choice must be made by the first letter of a player\'s name;

Shootout pool in which points are accumulated by the player who scores the most on shootouts;

Etc.... Some sound like fun !
