This will be the official post for the fantasy hockey teams with all of the information and rules that you could want.
Here is what we need from you:
1. Make up a team of four complete lines, right/center/left with three pairs of defensemen and two goaltenders. Also, make up reserves of two players from each position and submit those to us as well.
2. All we are asking for is a document with the names of the players and we can fill in the rest.
3. We will be using Yahoo!Sports fantasy league and this is the first time that we've ever used it. If you have any tips or anything then let us know. Submit your teams and the name and we will send you the ID# and password to add your team.
4. The players you pick should be based on how much you like them. That's how we run things here. We like to see who has the most successful boyfriends/husbands/favorite players in the NHL. It's like a competition to us to see who has the better favorite players.
5. We would like these submitted to us by Thursday 9/15. If you have any questions, like who to pick for a fourth line winger or who is what position then just email us or Tweet at us. We will be monitoring the waiver wire as we like to say when we look for information from our readers.
Rules:
1. We cannot verify that you are picking players that you like versus players that will get you points but do whatever floats your boat.
2. Every month on the 15th we will have a no-holds bar trade day for injured players and the like. Just submit a written trade in an email and we will put it in the league.
3. There is no draft because we don't like competition that much and drafts cause a lot of fights between all of us. As usual.
Okay?
Any questions?
Let us know in the comments or email. Remember, 9/15 is the date for the teams so get them in quick because there are only 20 spots!

I have just registered for my first FHL and have no idea wtf I am doing. But the "commish" for my league used Yahoo and I have had a hell of a time with it. I can't change my user name from appearing as "sjfoauroieurahkadkfdskjkfds" and some other issues. I will say that my friends that I have talked to have said they have had issues as well and most switched to ESPN. BUT another pal said he hasn't had any issues though. I think they have mainly used it for football.
I may be interested in signing up for this husband/boyfriend league. I do have a question though. Maybe I am not understanding...since there is no draft conceivably could we have some of the same players on our teams? Or does this involve fighting in a cage match for say HTBMM #3 aka Jordan "why did you have to PEE and ruin my fantasy" Staal? Just want to make sure I am understanding correctly. I have no experience in this fantasy business (fantasy SPORTS...my imagination works just fine.)
@Esbee
We don't really like drafting when you can't do it in person. It's boring and impersonal like that. You can have whoever you want on your team and if it's the same player as someone else then so be it. It happens. This isn't a keeper league that we don't have to play by those rules, haha.
Ah cool. Thanks! I got most of my lines set then and should have them to you soon (aka over the weekend)! oh I mean...yeah I think I want in on this. (since I just spent the last hour coming up with my ridiculous lines!)
Thanks for the quick answers!
Great--I'm in too! Something to do at work next week, haha. So just to make sure I'm getting this right--if 3 people take Tim Thomas his points will just count for all 3 people's teams? Also, I used Yahoo for fantasy last year as commissioner of a league as well as a random in one of Yahoo's anonymous leagues and I had very good experiences with the site.
@Claire
It better count for all three people. That's what I gathered when setting up the site. If not, I will murderize them and just do the points myself. No problem.
This sounds fun, here's my line-up :)
Forwards:
Mike Cammalleri, Johnthen Toews, Brian Gionta
Bobby Ryan, Taylor Hall, Micheal Grabner
Max Pacioretty, Logan Couture, Alex Burrows
Paul Bissonnette, Maxime Lapierre, Jordan Eberle
Defense :
P.K. Subban-Andrei Markov
Shea Webber-Brent Seabrook
Kevin Bieksa-Ryan Whitney
Goalies:
Carey Price
Marc Andre-Fleury
@Jenn
Hey, could you email the list to us so that we can give you the ID and password so that you can set up your account? That would be ideal.
Thanks!
I'm so up for this league. I gave my chiropractor his draft picks one year and there was a total throwdown over who got Brodeur, so it's good that there's no draft.
For the record, I will NOT be drafting Fatty Beaucoup.
Ahhh something to do tonight while stuck in the burbs in my hotel room...because I live the glamourous edgy life of a fashion icon.
Check yer inbox ladies!! WOOOO! Now I'm gonna design a logo!
Worst fantasy hockey team EVER submitted! Check yer email!

CURSE YOU ESBEE!!!!
I'm entered too--but it's under my email name of Schatzi for all those interested...I can't change my avatar and it's bumming me out...
Okay I switched my name to Jennifer so there's no confusion. Cuz this is somehow breaking news.

Are there any places left in the fantasy hockey league? If so, I'd love to join!
