Popular Post Optimist Prime Posted May 28 Popular Post Share Posted May 28 We have a great Fantasy Hockey section here on the Canucks Fan Forum and I am taking a moment to put a high visibility notice here in Canucks Talk as several leagues are looking for additional GM's. These are the Fantasy Keeper Leagues I am speaking to directly, but we have offshoot World Junior Hockey Championships one off leagues over December/January as well and some other pop up leagues and some leagues that work off of NHL video games, et cetera. For the Fantasy Keeper Leagues, you will take over a team as its GM: you can draft this coming June for the annual entry draft, sign players in free agent frenzy come July and then ice the best opening night roster you can while managing your team and your stable of prospects in the farm team. Sign contracts, trade, draft and try to win the various Fantasy Cups. The GFL is looking for three GM's and the league has just finished its inaugural season. The GML (General Managers League) is expanding to 31 teams right now for next season and looking to line up its 32nd GM to pick its expansion draft this time next year. The "CDC" Fantasy League, Nail is a fantastic Commissioner, and while I am not active in that league, any interested parties can reach out directly to him, I don't know if they have current openings, but frankly every league loses a guy or two every year and picks up someone every year to take over. It is so close to the real thing it is uncanny. Not to mention the SIM league, which I think uses NHL series of video gaming, the PUCK league and the Yahoo Hockey League. Some of these leagues go back a dozen years, or a decade or half a decade...its an incredible community and we are generally always seeking new interested members. Give it a try: you can play with an hour a week of your time, or two hours a day of your time, aside from annual draft times which are an incredible amount of fun. Something for every hockey fan here. Check us out. Lastly to my fellow mods: i will remove this 'ad' in a few short days, waited to the offseason so as not to burden the system. cheers.

Master Mind Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 This is a great time to take on a team with the draft and free agent frenzy on the horizon. New GM's who aren't overly familiar with fantasy hockey are welcome to reach out to me for any questions/advice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I joined GFL lasts summer. It was my first time trying anything like this. It was a bit intimidating to start, but you get the hang of it pretty quick, and it's a ton of fun. If you join Gators league, hit up Minnesota for a trade or two! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious/interested if I can make it work Hey viking, Minnesota here. Right now we're going into the offseason, so there's a little bit of work to be done. Draft coming up and signing of players and free agents. That being said, you can be involved as much, or as little as you want really. Some of us, myself included, or quite active trying to make trades and make moves, others didn't make a trade all season, or only a couple. You don't have to edit your roster frequently, during the season, just update as players get hurt or if you want to call up/send down a player. I was brand new last summer and it felt pretty intimidating to start, but you get the hang of it pretty darn quick. I'd be more then happy to help you out as you start the process. We have a few teams open right now, so you could have your pick of a rebuilding team, middle, or even top of the league. You should ver seriously consider joining, it's a really fun time and the closest we'll ever get to running a real team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone: the GFL has at least 3 vacancies still and the league is starting to draft for the Entry Draft at this time. Hoping to fill before the end of June, get in touch with me via PM for details and come have some fun in the Fantasy Hockey Section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We run out of the fantasy section of this forum, but also use a discord to do most discussions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
