IR+ is now available as an option to add players who are listed as day-to-day. You have one slot for this option.

Also, you now have one Not Active slot to store a player who might be suspended or sent down to the minors.

Let me remind you that when trading draft picks, do not include rounds 20 to 25 as those slots are reserved for Keepers.

Today is the day that I should be able to approve every team's Keepers but one manager has failed to select any. Every year, no matter how many reminders I send, there's at least one manager that somehow misses the deadline. So if the rest of you are wondering why you are unable to view the Protected Keeper's list, this is the reason. Now I have to spend time chasing after that manager before we can proceed.

Now that the league is full, the keeper deadline has been moved up to Monday, Sep 23

League 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. This league is publicly viewable and aims to be family-friendly. 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. 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. 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. If you are going on vacation, please edit your lineups for the time that you will be away.

7. Managers will be allowed to select 6 players from their roster to keep for next year's roster. Managers are only allowed to keep 1 goalie. The remaining 5 players can be any number of forwards and defencemen. Managers may also choose to not keep a goalie and select an extra F or D. It is not mandatory to keep the maximum allowable keepers but you must notify the commissioner if this is your intention.

8. Draft positions are determined by playoffs finish, not regular season. The order of draft will be inversed; League champion will select last in first round while the team that finished last will select first.

9. Should the league expand, expansion teams will be allowed to draft first overall, followed by the regular order. There would also be an expansion draft where each expansion team would be allowed to select up to 6 unprotected players from existing teams but no more than one from any given team.

10. All of the UHB Commissioner's decisions are final.

11. Failure to comply with any of these rules will result in having your team roster locked and possible banishment from the league.

12. 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.

13. 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 white value t-shirt. 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.

14. Joining this league means you understand and agree to these rules and conditions.
