I am very happy this is up and hoping to improve on my 4th

place finish last year.

Post by **Catspaw** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 10:33 am

I'll try to overtake my previous placement of 7th (I think

) this year - I'm coming after you, Shadowpaw!

It was very mean of you to kick Regis out just because he was dying, by the way - you could have at least helped him get some two-tier healthcare or something!

I don't remember what I called my team last year. I'll have to try to think of something cool! $\:D/$ Was I Catspaw's Crusaders or something like that?

Thanks for doing all of this, Trent! Yay! $\:D/$

I'm pretty certain your team name was Catspaw's Crusaders.

Send me what you have now and you can pay me the rest after you receive your paycheck.

I'm still waiting for entry fees from Sound Guy of Alabama, Evil Chick, and Catspaw.

Well, you and Catspaw just submitted your respectiev fees... I've added you both to the ToOHL faction! $\:D/$

I was going to donate before, but I forgot.

It's sent now, Trent! $\:D/$

Catspaw's Crusaders is way out of date! The Millenium Falcon is the new super-cool team! $\:D/$ (Though I did like having my name in my old one).

Well, The Catspaw Falcon doesn't have the same ring to it.

Sad but true.

Oh, well. Perhaps if my name is a bad choice, then I can blame that if I do poorly in the hockey pool.

Would it be alright if I joined though I know practically nothing about hockey?

It looks so fun!

Evil Chick · Post by **Evil Chick** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 3:18 pm

That's a good idea, Catspaw! I should have thought of that! I took the same name I took last time.

Trent DeWhite · Post by **Trent DeWhite** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 3:23 pm

If you want to change your team name, just go to the "My Team" tag and select "Edit Team Info."

If you don't mind going through six months of fantasy hockey, then sure.

What we discovered last year is that pretty much everyone was really engaged in the hockey pool for the first month or so... after then, the interest level waned and most people weren't even managing their teams anymore. I don't mean to discourage you from joining, though. It's definitely a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. $\:D/$ Just know that it is long and that you will have to be constantly active throughout the season.

I'll give it a try. My fee has been sent.

Do you need to know much about hockey (more than just hitting a puck into a net) to be able to do well?

You have to know players to do well.

Ah. *silently walks out of room partially due to the fact he's never seen a hockey game in his life*

There are sites that you can use to research players, so if you don't know anything, but you have time that you want to spend researching, you could still do well.

So if you really want to join, dedication could be more of a factor then general hockey knowledge.

Due to my limited time, I don't think I have enough time to be that dedicated...

David O has filled up the final spot in the ToOHL (you still need to send me your entry fee

)!

This thread can now be de-globalized. $\:D/$

Top and EB aren't Canadian so you must be referring to yourself, eh?
I was thinking the same thing about Jonathan and Heidi, eh.

Yeah, I was just naming the first term.

I thought about that later.
