Alcatraz Hockey League - new H2H keeper league

[Big Kjell]

AHL is a new H2H keeper league started and managed by fantasy hockey veterans. We have 13 of 16 GMs in place and are looking for 3 mature and experienced GMs who will be sticking with us for the long-term.

It's not a money league but it will be an intense league and the rest of the GMs are very experienced. The draft will be auction-style and very competitive so new GMs must quickly go up the learning curve. The draft will take place at our Proboards site and the league is played at CBS. The league uses cap hits and contract terms per Capgeek.com and a salary cap.

Here is a summary of the league rules and draft rules.
