In the Headquarters you will find…

1) The PG Advised Section –

The PG Advised Section is home to anyone looking to share their talent in hopes of getting "called up from the minors" and landing a feature on the DobberHockey front page. Several call ups have included Steve Laidlaw's graduating piece Autobots vs. Decepticons, Brendan Ross' prospect report on potential 2012 1st overall draftee Nail Yakupov, an edition of Roto Keeper Monsters – Top 20 Goals / Shots on Goal Combo Players and a piece by Gabe Welsh titled What is in a name?

We are always looking for talent and if writing as a passion of yours, feel free to explore it here.

2) GMG's Office

In GMG's Office you will find all updates regarding the monthly Top 100 Roto Players Exclusive – released on every 15^th of the month. This section is also home to the ever expanding Market Buzz series, Trade Fever series, and upcoming Poolie's Journals.

The Market Buzz series deals with value, perception and the market of players while Trade Fever touches base on the philosophy and psychology behind fantasy GMs, their types and their motives. Lastly, the upcoming Poolie's Journals will focus on leadership, ownership and etiquette.

Another key part of the Office is the announcements on all things that directly relate to the Black Aces. That said, it is conveniently hosting two exciting contests, the [Black Aces] Logo Contest and the [Black Aces] Choose the DobberHockey Banner so be sure to check them out!

3) NHL Team Coverage Section

This fan favourite section now covers over fifty percent of the NHL's franchises – but our ultimate goal is and always has been to end up covering all 30 teams. It is proudly brought to you by a group of dedicated volunteer beat writers who continually work hard at keeping us updated on all happenings of their respective NHL team.

Each writer has the liberty of covering any topic of their assigned team and that is the beauty of it – no two sections are the same. Topics include hot/cold streaks, injury updates, trade talk, player analysis, farm team reports, prospects reports, post game wrap ups and any other tid bit that may arise.

Learn more about the Team Coverage crew here and if you wish to cover a team, send an email to gatticus@gmail.com or send a private message via forums in advance.

4) OHL News & Discussion

This is the OHL section in a nutshell, giving credit to where credit is due :

Are you looking to get the upper hand on the next generation of fantasy studs?  The Ontario Hockey League is a prospect ‘hot bed’ for many of the NHL’s future elite players and it has produced the past four first overall selections in the NHL Entry Draft (Taylor Hall, John Tavares, Steven Stamkos and Patrick Kane).
