How to Draft Your Fantasy Hockey Team
April 20, 2007 by
Like thousands of people all over the world I have become very hooked on Fantasy sports. I began to play a few years ago, starting with Fantasy Baseball, I then added to that by playing Fantasy Basketball. I didn't like basketball as much for some reason and dropped it. Not long after
that my sister asked me if I wanted to play Fantasy Football with her husband and his brothers, so I have since played with them every season. This year I did something different though.
When I played Fantasy Basketball, Baseball, and Football I had a pretty good idea what I was doing. I've watched all those sports and have knowledge of them. This year my sister asked me if I had any interest in playing Fantasy Hockey. I said sure even though I know nothing about hockey. I've never seen an entire hockey game in my life; I've never even seen half a hockey game. The only hockey I've ever seen is highlights on Sportscenter.
Going into the Fantasy Hockey draft I could only name a few players and didn't look at a single Fantasy Hockey website or Fantasy Hockey magazine. I went into my Fantasy Hockey draft completely blind. I chose my team, set my lineups for the entire season and just left my Fantasy Hockey team how it was the entire season. My Fantasy Hockey team then proceeded to be in first place after the first week and stayed in first place until about week 20. My Fantasy Hockey team then dropped to second place and stayed there the rest of the season.
My Fantasy Hockey got the two seed in the playoffs and stormed its way through the playoffs including a 9 - 4 win in the Finals against the first place team. In the Finals my Fantasy Hockey team had 32 goals and 49 assists on its way to an 81 to 63 lead in points and a +33 compared to the opponent's +4.
So I not only won, but dominated my Fantasy Hockey league, a guy who has never even watched an Ice Hockey game before, a guy who has never won his Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Basketball, or Fantasy Football leagues, even though he does know something about those sports. I like to call it the Miracle on Ice 2. So now, since I'm a Fantasy Hockey expert I will reveal to you how I drafted my miracle team.

It's predicted that over 30 million people per year participate in some form of fantasy sports, be it football, baseball, NASCAR, hockey, or death row inmates.
