As I build my career in computers, I lost touch with my love for the Blackhawks and hockey in general. I was fortunate enough to play in a fantasy baseball league with a wonder full commissioner (Canadian) that offered a team in his fantasy Hockey league. I joined just before the Crosby years and enjoyed my favorite team draft Kane and Toews then, beyond belief, winning the cup! My love for Fantasy Hockey is rooted in my long love of Hockey itself. Fantasy Hockey allowed me to keep my finger on the pulse of the great game itself. - WallyKern Sun, 21 Oct 2012 07:39:01 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4990-why-do-you-love-fantasy-hockey-tell-us-to-win#comment-22959 I became addicted to hockey in 1988. With Hull, Lemieux and Gretzky, it was an amazing time. Since then I joined many point playoff pools year after year. Then I found my first roto pool while i was in college, and figured out that I could apply the techniques that i was learning towards statistical analysis. Quite simply fantasy hockey allowed me to marry my love of hockey with my love of statistical analysis. Spreadsheet heaven. - kierangunn Fri, 19 Oct 2012 06:49:40 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4990-why-do-you-love-fantasy-hockey-tell-us-to-win#comment-22952 I just submitted my entry over on the forums, but I just wanted to echo Killer's sentiments. Can one opt for the fantasy-team audit if he/she wins 1st place? - mounD Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:49:55 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4990-why-do-you-love-fantasy-hockey-tell-us-to-win#comment-22951 I love fantasy hockey because I'm an entrepreneur and I can relate the numbers, strategies, and deals to business. I get excited when I make a fantastic trade for a player that lights it up right away, and the player I just traded away tears his ACL! I get fired up looking at the constantly changing standings, and I love taunt boards where I can vent about frustrations, and connect with my fellow poolies. But most of all I love fantasy hockey drafts where you have to prepare for the worst but hope for the best. When a highly desired player falls on your lap that you never expected is like getting a gift from god, something that will keep you coming back time and time again like a 40 foot putt on a golf course. Fantasy hockey for me is a sport in itself, and something I will be part of for the rest of my life! - Jeremy Campbell Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:18:19 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4990-why-do-you-love-fantasy-hockey-tell-us-to-win#comment-22949 I realize this is not how you enter but just wanted to say that my love for fantasy hockey makes me want the team audit way more than the Byfuglien picture, haha. Great contest, guys! - Killer67 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 13:44:25 +0100
