Definitely use ESPN. They make things easy. This will get you started:
http://games.espn.go.com/fhl/content?page=fhlrulesindex2013
Looks like the two options are rotisserie or H2H (head to head). I prefer rotisserie myself. The best team wins in rotisserie while H2H opens the door to a lot of luck.
We want a live draft. They put us all in a chat room while we draft, so it makes for a fun hour or so of banter. When you pick the draft time, keep in mind it will likely be Eastern time, so if you want to draft at 8pm, don't pick 8pm ET.
Ten people is the perfect amount for a league, so I'm sure you can talk someone else on the board into filling the last spot.

My preference would actually be head to head. I know that the best team doesn't always win, but I like throwing a bit more luck into these sort of things. That's just my opinion though.
Also, is it possible that we could make the draft at 8pm pacific or is that to late for some people? I work 7-7 so I would likely miss out on the live draft, and I hate auto picking.

All of us except FD and 'nater are in the PST so I'll leave it up to them to object, but 8PM PST sounds good to me. Roto is the one I was looking at simply because I've never done a roto league before and would like to give it a shot. If others would like to vote on which style they would like, I invite you to do so over the course of the next 24 hours. I don't mind doing H2H if that's what the majority wants.
I'll set up the league tomorrow morning once we get some more input on the style, and will aim to draft either Wednesday or Thursday of next week.

Oh yeah, and we need at least one more player, and maximum 3 more to make this work. ESPN offers only 8, 10, and 12 person leagues.

It sounds like Switch is interested in the last spot.

I'm down if there's a spot left. I've missed hockey so very much.

That would be 11. One more and the league is at its max, but we need that twelfth. Womp, Shax???

Shit, are there any other Alaskans in the NHL? I don't think Scotty G is going to be making it out this year.

Rust, knock it off! Don't worry Gibbons. Scott Gomez is a solid number one pick on draft night. Go for it!

The league's been created and invites have been sent to the ten of you that said you were in. The invites went to the email addresses you signed up with on the board. If you no longer use that address PM me a current one and I'll fix it.
Draft will be Wednesday night at 8 PM PST.

I can't believe we can get 12 people together for fantasy hockey but we can't even fill an entire fantasy football league. This board is SO Canadian.
