    Default New Start Up 31 Team League

    We are a start up league filled with guys who love hockey and just as importantly, fantasy hockey, a little too much. Most of us have been in fantasy hockey leagues before but we also have a few newer guys. Looking for like minded people with hopefully some fantasy hockey experience but anyone with a passion for hockey and a desire to be in an in depth keeper league, is welcome.

    Basic info:

    - 31 Team league
    - Fantrax based H2H scoring system
    - 82 matchup schedule, which means roughly 4 matchups per week
    - Follow NHL Cap system and use NHL contracts
    - 7 Round NHL Entry Draft every year
    - Waiver Draft for NCAA, KHL and Euro's who were signed by nhl clubs
    - Absolutely free

    Teams that are open are ANA, CGY, COL, CBJ, DAL, DET, FLA, LAK, MIN, NJD, NYR, PIT, SJS, STL, VAN, VGK

    anyone interested should email me at [email protected]


    note* if this double posted I apologize, new to the forums.

    I think you'll find it hard to get a lot of members here to join a league that is first come, first serve in terms of picking teams. I've seen these posts in the past, and the majority of people prefer a lottery to select teams...or something that is done at random. It will probably get harder and harder as the league fills up, and people are left choosing between VAN, VGK, DET etc.

    appreciate the feedback. I get what you are saying, always get's difficult to fill the last few teams but some guys do love a challenge and prefer teams who are a complete tear down. It might be difficult and although I've never helped recruit during a startup, this is how the other two leagues I've been in since 09 were filled out, so I do know it's possible. Once we get to the last couple teams, we'll also try methods like going to fan pages of those teams, seems to make it easier to fill those holes there.

    but yea, once again, thank for the input.

    A few questions:
    - do teams inherit minor league system as well?
    - is there a cap on size of farm team or number of contracts?
    - what are the H2H scoring categories?
    - how many players start per night?
    - daily or weekly changes?

    Awesome questions and probably ones I should have address in the OP
    - Yes, teams inherit the minor league system
    - there are caps on both contracts and minors (50 contracts, 90 roster spots, built to be as in depth as possible)
    - H2H categories are Skater: G, A, PTS, SOG, PIM, HITS, BS, PPP, SHTOI, FOW Goalie: Saves, GAA, SV% Goalie Points (2 pt for W, 1 pt for SO or OT L) and finally two random stats to try to emulate how hockey is a bit random Rare Events (Shutout, Hat-Trick, Gordie How Hat-Trick) and Important Events (SH Points, Shootout Goals, GWG)
    - Weekly roster changes, locked 5 Mins before the first NHL game every Monday.
    - 18 Man active roser + 2 Goalies. Also a 3 man bench for spares but they count towards your cap.

    happy to answer any other questions anyone has.

    It's a free fantrax league, but you are using at least one premium category (SHTOI). So there is a fee to cover the fantrax cost?

    myself and my buddies. it's not an extreme amount, worth it as a hobby for us.

    It's free for anyone to join, zero expectations for people to donate or help cover costs.

    I'd give the Blue Jackets a go, if you get this off the ground.

    If you find that you are stuck with a bunch of teams at the end, you could try holding a draft (i.e. throw all NHL players in a pot, and let GMs pick from that). Sometimes there is more interest when a GM has more ability to shape a team. This can be especially true when team(s) aren't great...

    shoot me an email [email protected] and I'll give you access to the website and info.

    I think we'll hit our goal but that's always a possibility. Goal is to launch next weekend. Already have had 3 emails from this site, hope we can fill it this way.
