News Break and Fantasy Hockey Questions

So we've had a couple of interested people email us with questions regarding our stance on fantasy hockey leagues.

Well, here's what we have to say. WE LOVE THEM. We especially love when we run our own and it becomes this monster that gets everyone texting/emailing each other with some good ribbing and trash-talking about each other's teams.

So we've been thinking of starting a Hockey Junkies Hockey League this season. What we would like is any input anyone here has about starting a league.

We want ideas for rules, any things you don't want to see, how things should be scored. Normally we do a team based on our favorite players whether they accumulate points or not and see who has the better-looking and better-playing 'husbands/boyfriends/favorite players'.

If you would like to participate in that, let us know. If you have any other input about anything to do with the league just comment here and/or email us with the headline of 'hj fantasy league' so we know what's up.

We're going to get this started next Sunday (9/11) with a tentative draft and/or submission of teams.
