Hey!
The Global Owners Hockey League is starting to roll for the new season and have made a few changes. If anyone is sincerely interested in joining, let me know.
Here's the latest:
Good Day General Managers, past General Managers and 'Potential' General Managers!
Welcome and Welcome Back !!
Special Greetings to Mike, Alex, Darren, Duncan, Ken and Phil long time "fraternity members of the cult of the return of the NHL"!
We are making some exciting changes for the 20th season of GOHL!
By far the biggest change is that we have partnered with Fantrax.com to fully automate our league.
Yes I am finally getting out of the business of doing stats !!
Fantrax.com is able to take our unique league and customize their website to match the workings of GOHL.
The cost for such is under $100 per season.
GOHL has a $20 entry fee which is collected and given to a charity each season. The bragging rights are usually more than enough of a prize for general managers to flex their muscle! However, side bets between clubs is encouraged but not mandatory.
The results of GOHL are based only on regular season stats and we will likely run a playoff pool for those interested. It is usually entirely separate though.
We are planning our season draft on Saturday October 8th, the day before the Jets start their regular season.
If we meet around 5:30 or 6pm at a local watering hole TBA, we can wrap up the draft by around 9 to 10pm. If later is better then I'm open to that too!
What better way to celebrate the return of the NHL that weekend than to start the race for GOHL bragging rights!
We will present the Final Stats for 2010-11 GOHL season and present the Champion his trophy. And as his first offical duty, he will present the Horse Hindmost to the club that has seen . . . well, how shall we say . . . better days.
Mike has also indicated that some of the other fellows from Jetsowner.com forum days might be interested in joining. (Feel free to update the info on Jets Hockey Forum Mike!)
So it is suggested for all clubs to prepare for a draft of up to 12 teams for the upcoming season. Given 12F, 6D and 2G on each active roster plus an additional 4 spares per team, roughly 288 NHLers will be selected, with an additional 60 being drafted at the All Star Break Draft (or Superbowl Sunday?) as a supplemental draft to help clubs as they enter the stretch run to win it all.
As an example of how the league works please flip through the tabs of the attached excel spreadsheet which are the Final Stats from a previous season 2010-11 to get a broad sense as to how the pool works and teams amass points "by formula". For those potentially new General Managers, I able to send a more detailed explanation via a separate email if you are interested.
If you have a buddy that might be interested then by all means forward this to them, as there is no better way to build excitement than to know your reputation and pride is on the line!!
I will need your committment by late evening of Thursday Oct 6th, to be fair to those clubs preparing for the draft.
All The Best!
