Managers,

It's getting to be about that time to begin another season of fantasy hockey. I'd like to start off by announcing the changes made for the upcoming season. SHG & SHA, and PPG & PPA will now be combined into PPP and SHP. Shots against for goalies will no longer be a scoring category. We will be adding blocked shots as a new category. Positional changes are as follows: Goalie positions on the active bench have been reduced from 3 to 2. Active utility spots have been reduced from 2 to 1. Bench spots have been reduced from 7 to 5. These changes were made based off of the survey results.

As far as keepers go, we will be allowing for a total of 10 keepers, which allows for 2 more keepers than in years past. We will keep a maximum of 2 goalies, and will be going away from having a maximum of defenseman that can be kept. The deadline keeper date is Friday 09/20/2019. Please set your keepers as soon as possible so we can solidify a draft date before the actual season.

As for the draft, we will be making a minor change. In the past years we had a snake draft. For this year we will have a non-snaking draft with the last place team choosing first for each round and everyone else following suit based upon their last year finish.

I am hoping that these changes made will allow for more parity in the league. If anyone has any comments, questions, or concerns please feel free to reach out to me. If you're not interested in participating this year, please let me know ASAP so I can find a replacement manager.

Your Commissioner,

Chiefs de Laval
