We're only going into our third year and some of these things are just great ideas that we need to make it better. It is an additional challenge because we have about half our league spread out all over and keeping up communication with some of them isn't easy during the off months. Its a 20 team keeper league on yahoo. http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/points_league - alexmullen4180 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 08:13:38 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-798 Ive been in basically the same keeper league for 18/19? years now...and I thought it was'in-depth', but with the internet now some of these leagues are INSANE! now I might have to find another one to get in on the crazy ;D - Rollie1967 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 10:42:13 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-795 Mr. Mellow, I got the trophies at a trophies/awards store in my area - the kind of place where kids' sports teams and schools would buy their trophies. They have a big selection of hockey trophies for a very reasonable price, and you can get your league name, etc. inscribed on the plate. - elevatemysoul Sat, 15 Aug 2009 07:59:37 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-790 Dobbs, where do you get the trophies from? - mr.mellow Sat, 15 Aug 2009 06:43:52 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-784 Our 14 team keeper league: [b]Proud of ya![/b] - www.proudofya.com - ZarlyZalapski Sat, 15 Aug 2009 04:11:53 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-783 Great article. I'm happy to say the keeper league I participate in incorporates all of the suggestions. Our commissioner puts in alot of work. Another suggestion I'd like to make that I think adds to my keeper league is that all the GMs are required to have a messenger program (we use yahoo messenger). We also have boards to post but it's not quite like trash talking and cooking up trades through messenger. http://www.dynastyhockeyleague.com/ - phoenixzen Sat, 15 Aug 2009 01:45:02 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-782 http://hockeygenius2.proboards.com/index.cgi this site lets us add or update any topic we want and its completly for free check out the trade history, each team has its own area that they can creat any therad they want My team is "Top Guns" our points are 1 point for goal/assist .2 for pim .1 for shot goalie= 1for apearance -1 for loss 2 for win 3 for shutout 2 for assist 10 for goal check it out its a good way to keep everyone intrested espically in the offseason!! - Oilers rock 99 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 22:57:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-781 Nice looking forums you've got there, cj4aday. - elevatemysoul Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:58:36 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-780 Thanks for the kind words boys... it's just gratifying to know I'm not alone! - elevatemysoul Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:55:39 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-779 I too do all the above. I just spent the summer revising our record book. A 22 page excel spreadsheet with all the stats. getting guys to name fantasy managers and coaches helps in the weekly writeups as well. It all adds to the fun I think. Good article (and since I spend so much time on the computer my wife never gets a chance to find sites like you mention above. ;D ) - gdon Fri, 14 Aug 2009 19:01:10 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-778 I just checked out your league Glen and saw that you use Simple Machines as your forum.....which is another great choice and [u]free to boot[/u]. No annoying ads and it has alot of features that make it a great choice as well. I have always been a vbulletin guy even before fantasy hockey so I knew how to use and customize them easily so it made it an obvious choice for me, but Simple Machines was right up there other than that. - cj4aday Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:38:18 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-777 :'( Sorry, second league should be: [b]Hellfish Hockey -[/b] http://hellfishhockey.ca/ - cj4aday Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:29:08 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-776 Spend a little money and get a forum that is reliable and comes with a community that can help you out in regards to customization. I run one league and help with another and we use Vbulletin....dont cheap out and settle with forums that have ads running all over them! If you are serious about your league the little extra money will be well spent since you and your members will be using the forum year round for communication, drafts etc. [b]In The Crease -[/b] [url]http://inthecrease.ca[/url] [b]Hellfish Hockey -[/b] [url]http://hellfish.ca[/url] - cj4aday Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:26:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-775 As a member of Glen's league, I can personally vouch that all the extra effort he puts into our league is extremely appreciated. I look forward to each of his weekly updates... also he is exhibit A for me to prove to my wife that I am not the only guy who spends this much time on hockey fantasy leagues... - Szmutko Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:14:07 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-774 Loved the article. We have a very good commissioner in our league who does a lot of the things you are suggesting. - tmlpowerplay Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:58:14 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2166-not-just-another-pool-creating-the-ultimate-fantasy-experience#comment-773 On so many levels I can relate to this article. Very well written and entertaining. I am the commissioner of our keeper league and you've gave me lots of good ideas to keep us enthusiasts entertained and to get those who aren't as "hardcore" as I a little more involved. Well DONE! - Dean Youngblood Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:20:47 +0100
