I’m in three keeper leagues and one of things I love most about the concept of a keeper league is that they keep you thinking fantasy hockey in August. For lack of a better topic, let’s do a quick overview of my three leagues and what I have done – and what I would like to do. Attention competitors: please don’t read.
The NHL will approve a new rule stating that the first tie-breaker will be total wins without shootouts, as opposed to total wins period. Frank Seravalli looks at the (non) impact of this on last year's standings. What would Andy Hilbert make this year if he made a different decision back in the [...]

The Ivan Hlinka and Team Canada U20 camps are over, and the CHL begins pre-season in two weeks. Who are the early names to watch for 2011?
Believe it or not, fantasy hockey is a bit like scuba diving. The threat of sharks is vastly overrated, sometimes there’s nothing you can do except hold your breath, and for the enthusiasts, both can provide moments of pause, like when first gazing over the far edge of a reef into the dark blue vastness of the open ocean.
I have an update about the new shop - I've seen it, tried it, it works, it's lovely. But we're going to work on the Downloads section so that you can filter out older documents as needed. When that is complete - hopefully within a day or two - we'll go live with the [...]

The Fantasy Guide can be purchased here. It was last updated August 10 and should have another update by tomorrow. Tampa has just traded Kari Ramo to the Habs for Cedrick Desjardins. An interesting move that I will research and blog about in tomorrow's ramblings (which I'll probably post in two or three [...]
The Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament is one of the first tests a draft-eligible prospect will face as they attempt to prove themselves worthy of a pick. Oddly enough, the class’s top two talents- Adam Larsson and Sean Couturier- were ineligible due to age, leaving the field wide-open for surprises. Beyond a Gold Medal game in which one goal made all the difference- literally- who stood out at the Hlinka?
