WANTED: 2 Expansion Teams
I am looking to expand the league by 2 teams for next season for a total of 12. New managers would choose 5 players before the draft that are not kept by the current 10 managers and then draft in the 11th and 12th positions of the first round.
If you know anyone who would like to apply, just send them the link of this page so they can view the full details. They can then contact me through the e-mail that is attached to my Yahoo profile.

2012 UHB CHAMPIONS: The Haie
Congratulations to The Haie on being crowned the new champion of the UHB fantasy league! You managed to lead the league pretty much all season and capped it off with the league title. Well done!
Texas Tornado also performed well and came so close to repeating as league champ. You have proven to be a formidable foe.
To the rest of the league, it was another great season and I look forward to having each of you return next season. Now go and cheer your favourite team in the Stanley Cup playoffs!

Reminder
Team Draft Rankings are determined by playoff finish, not regular season, just like in NHL. This also includes the Consolation round.
In other words, The league champion will be the last team to draft in the 1st round of next season's draft (provided that the draft pick has not been traded away).
I do not want to see teams from the Consolation rounds deliberately benching players (especially goalies) to throw the matchup for a better draft position. I will be monitoring this closely. I want to see full lineups inserted every night when possible.
Thanks.

New Rule
Any manager who neglects his/her team for an extended period of time risks losing their franchise and could have the team assigned to a new manager at any point during the season or at the very least, the following season. Examples of neglect include but not limited to: not responding to trade offers, not editing lineup regularly, not responding to league e-mails, etc.
It is recommended that managers log in at least once a week to edit lineup, check for trade offers,etc. If you go 3 or 4 weeks in a row without logging in, then the situation will be under review and options will be considered.
If you know you will be on vacation, edit your lineup accordingly for the weeks you will be absent and post a message on the boards so other managers will know not to expect a response if they make a trade offer or not to make one at all.

I'd like to welcome new manager TJ of Seeing Stars. TJ is taking over and has renamed the Bozo Nghtmare franchise which was managed by Anthony M over the past two seasons.
Good luck to you, TJ.

Please submit your lists of your top 5 players you want to keep from last season's rosters. It can be any 5 at any position. Please consider your choices carefully before you post as this will be carved in stone.
Next year, this league will be expanding by two teams. Again, you will be able to protect 5 players (1 goalie + 4 skaters).
Thanks

You will be able to trade draft picks in the off season
The league standings, team rosters and this message board will be viewable by the public. Please keep that in mind.

UHB Rules
These UHB rules are in addition to the Yahoo Sports rules. You are expected to learn them and abide by them. Ignorance of the rules will not be accepted as an excuse. The UHB and its commissioner reserve the right to add to this list and/or modify any existing rule at any moment for the good of the league.
1. No manager shall use the name of a real NHL or other professional/minor league team for their team name. Names of famous people, characters and works are also prohibited. Anything copyrighted will be rejected.
2. No vulgar terms or language shall be used in whole or in part as a manager's team name or manager name.
3. Team names shall not be changed once the regular season commences. If a manager changes his/her team name after the official season opener, their roster will be locked until said name is changed back to its original one. You may experiment with as many name changes as you want between the time you sign up right up until the time of the first official games that count in the standings. At that point, the one you choose will be the one you keep all season. ONCE THE SEASON STARTS, ALL TEAM NAMES WILL BE LOCKED.
4. Team icons must be family-friendly and are subject to the same criteria as rule #2.
5. Good-natured trash talk will be allowed within reason but must be kept rated PG.
6. All of the UHB Commissioner's decisions are final.
7. Failure to comply with any of these rules will result in having your team roster locked and possible banishment from the league, following a league vote.
8. To claim the UHB fantasy league prize (the mug), the winning manager must provide a shipping address to where I, the Commissioner, can send it. All costs will be assumed by me, the league's Commissioner, including shipping and handling with the exception of possible custom's duty fees. The prize awarded will be the one that is posted on this site and indicated as the UHB Cup (League Trophy), no substitutions. The UHB Commissioner shall not be held responsible for the winning team manager failing to provide a valid shipping address. If no shipping address is provided, the winner agrees to waive his or her right to the prize and no cup shall be awarded. All personal information will be kept private and will not be used for any other purpose.
9. Should I, the UHB commissioner, end up winning the league championship, I agree to award the runner-up in the championship finals, a consolation prize, that being a Basic Dark, UHB t-shirt (one of two designs) as indicated here on this web page. Runner-up will have the choice of what color and size the t-shirt shall be. No substitutions will be allowed for the consolation prize. As with rule #8, runner-up will be required to submit a valid shipping address upon the finish of the season or relinquish the consolation prize. Consolation prize will only be awarded to runner-up if the UHB commissioner wins the UHB championship. If any other team wins the league championship, no consolation prize is awarded.
10. Joining this league means you understand and agree to these rules and conditions.
