Hello hello!

New NHL season is on it's way and I'm challenging everyone to Sportingnews NHL fantasy game. Playing the game is totally free. NHL season starts in 5 days so be fast!

In Fantasy Hockey Challenge, you're the General Manager of your own hockey team! We give you 30,000,000 Sporting News Dollars (TSND) to draft 7 players (1 center, 2 wingers, 2 defensemen, 1 goalie and 1 extra attacker) who will score points for you based on how they play in real-life hockey games.

As GM, you use your 30,000,000 TSND salary cap to build the best hockey team you can afford. While they're on your team, your players score Sporting News Points (TSNP) for your team by playing in real-life games. If one of your players is in a bad slump, or if he gets hurt, you can cut him and pick up another player to join your team, provided you can afford him. Manage your team wisely, though - you have a limited amount of moves you can make.

Fantasy Hockey Challenge also features a dynamic player price market - the only one of its kind. Every day during season 1, players salaries are updated, rising or falling based on the trading activity by YOU, the GMs. Just like the stock market, you can increase your purchasing power by buying low and selling high.

I'll think about it.

I'm already in a fantasy league, and BATracer is taking up way too much time, WAY too many active games.

But I do enjoy hockey. Salty are you into this?

You basically took the words right out of my mouth. I'm not in a fantasy league right now, but I haven't been this busy with work all year:wonder:. I was going to check it out in the next 48 or so. I just haven't had time yet. I've been close to missing BR games:o.

CC and A1GP are ending in the next day or so so we'll see. All I know is Nick Lidstom is one of my D men:greedy: and Pavel Datsuk will be a forward:cool:

You can create as many teams you want in there, but I give you a warning. DON'T GET GREEDY! I created about 20 teams last year and I can imagine that 20 fantasy teams + 12 games in BR could be full day's job. :D

Managing 1-2 teams is pretty easy and doesn't take much time. You can do max 2 transactions per week (unless you save your points, then next week you have 4)

I did pretty well last season with one of the teams, I was at top 1000. ;)

C'mon guys! Join the league!

Kinda sad to compete with 3 teams there, heh. There has been played only few games in NHL so far so you haven't missed anything yet. :thumbsup:

After the first couple of rounds the standings are:

1. Esch's Elite 657 points
2. Driverdb Ice Turtles 523 points
3. Helsinki Harakiri's 516 points

The almighty Ice Turtles have six players going at it tonight so I'm expecting a couple of hundred points! :lol:

I've been on there once since I picked my players.:rolleyes:

The funny thing is in my other fantasy pool, in a yahoo league is going much worse than this, and I'm actually checking up on that one every day.
