An Introduction to the UHL
For those of you who haven't heard of the United Hockey League (UHL), you're about to.
The UHL is a deep H2H dynasty league with several scoring categories and fairly unique rules. Furthermore, it's made up entirely of dobberites. As the commissioner, I've partnered with the PG Advised section and the purpose is twofold. First, I get to fill my league with several PG Writers who I know will be both active and knowledgeable members. Secondly, it provides another topic for the PG Advised section, one which differs quite a bit from what it otherwise offers.
So before I go into details about the league, you might be asking how or why these articles will help you. Simply put, most fantasy hockey players play in relatively simple leagues and for those who are in more complex leagues, a lot of the information here at dobberhockey isn't very representative of your setup. Of course every league has subtle differences, but the idea behind this is to provide insight to those of you who are curious about more complex league setups and also to provide comparison for those who are in similar leagues.

As the draft begins (starting April 11) I will be posting the draft results here, and columns will probably take place on a regular basis providing information about players with the highest value, major trades which have occurred, and so on.
To kick things off and as an attempt to garner some interest, here's my predicted first round (top 24 picks). Feel free to post up your guesses, winner gets... umm, bragging rights?Note: These are my predictions of the order players get drafted in, not my own personal ranking (sorry Gates, eric, not giving that away!). I threw in a few bolder picks, just for fun.

Love it. Couldn't have asked for a better Intro post
thanks Dyz, looking forward to it!
Funny how you tagged me with Henrik Sedin haha...
Well, Daniel was off the board so...Love it. Couldn't have asked for a better Intro post
thanks Dyz, looking forward to it!
Funny how you tagged me with Henrik Sedin haha...
Plus the guy I wanted to peg you with I'm hoping falls to me in the 2nd round since I traded my 1st. haha
You're not getting him
Haha. I've got 4 guys I'm targeting, so as long as one of them falls to 31st I'll live!You're not getting him
Zero chance I'm taking Keith
Oh well haha. If I predict even 18/24 of the players taken in the first round, let alone order, I'll be happyZero chance I'm taking Keith
Stamkos is going to slide to me at 10th (Montreal).....right guys?
There is also no chance I take Kovalchoke
I also feel like there is extra pressure to draft good because it will be on dobberhockey for all to see if you draft horribly
