0 Subject: Happy Hockey - Looking for owners

Hey folks, Happy Hockey is a small 7x3 roto league on ESPN, with lineage dating back to likely 1998 or 99. Over the years, teams have come and gone. Lately, the latter so, more than the former. And thus, we are looking to add a few more managers to rejuvenate the ranks.
  1. Scoring Type: Roto
    • G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, FOW, SOG
    • W, GAA, SV%
  2. Number of teams: As many as we can get
    • 2 years ago we had 12 teams, last season 10
    • This year 8 have signed up so far
  3. Roster Size: Adjustable depending on # of teams
    • 24 = 3 C, 3 RW, 3 LW, 4 D, 4 UTIL, 3 G, 4 bench, 3 IR
    • 20 = 3 C, 3 RW, 3 LW, 3 D, 2 UTIL, 3 G, 3 bench, 3 IR
  4. Draft Type: Slow Draft at Draftime
    • If we can get organized soon enough
      • NHL Preseason kicks off September 16th.
    • If not, fast draft at ESPN
      • NHL Regular starts October 4th.
If this sounds like something you might enjoy, please express your interest below. We would Happily welcome any addition to our Chill hockey league (all pun intended). Peace.

Thanks Pete! Latest update on sign-ups:
  • 10 teams registered at ESPN
  • 6 teams registered at draftime
  • 2 more managers considering joining
That would bring us up to 12. Be great to get 2-4 more teams involved and hike that total up to 14 or 16 or more. If anyone else is interested, make a post, and I'll get you the info. Peace.

Alright folks, looks like we have 16 teams this year. I've emailed Guru to random generate the numbers and will be sending out more info later today. For the sake of posterity, if anyone finds this thread and would like to be added to the wait list for next season, leave your info here, and I will be in touch. Thanks all.

Congratulations to RoboGuru, Yetsko, and Custer for the 2017-18 win, place, and show. This is RoboGuru’s 2nd title since the league moved to ESPN (3rd overall). Is this the year Roboguru matches the Munson Mobsters 4 banner record? Or will someone new come along to break up these dynasties and take home the Big Gold Belt?

Could that fantasy manager be you?

We have 11 returning managers and are looking for some new participants to even out the ranks. We will be fast drafting at ESPN next Sunday the 30th. If anyone is interested joining this league for the 2018-19 season, please leave your info below. Let the puck drop!

Congratulations to RoboGuru, ttucowboy, and Yetsko for the 2018-19 win, place, and show. Back-to-back championships for RoboGuru! Great job!

11 managers are returning for the 2019-20 season. Hoping to get started with a slow draft at draftime within the next week.

As always, we would like to add some more teams to the league! If this sounds like your cup of tea, please leave your info after the beep, and you too can be part of Happy Hockey!

Finally turning my eye toward hockey. Happy to throw my hat in if you are still looking for an owner.

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder. Which means it's that time of year again when Happy Hockey is looking for managers! RoboGuru has won the championship 4 seasons in a row. Would someone please help the league dethrone this legend? Haha. Heck of a run.

All of the league settings are listed in the initial post for this forum thread. I believe the only thing we’ve changed in recent years was a shift from PIMs to HITs.

If you’re on the fence about playing, because you don’t know that much about hockey. That’s great, neither do we! This is a fun, relaxed league that keeps us warm during the cold winter months while stare out the window and wait for summer. Please join!
