My friends and I created a fantasy hockey league for the past few years now and I just sort of went with my own point system for goals, assists, +/- ratings for D, PIMs for goons and different amounts for goalies.... But i was curious as to the correct amounts.|||there is no specific set of rules or system... you can create a point system however you like... just as long as everyone playing will enjoy it and thinks its fair...
it can be easy and simple as just goals and assists only to more complicated leagues that includes salary caps during your draft...
one year we made goalie goals worth a 100 points. Our D points are always double that of fwds. We also included points for fighting majors, shot blocks, goalie assists.. it gets really complicated and a real hassle to calculate every April... so we keep it simple now...
Draft systems we used was picking one player from each team (5 C, 5 LW, 5RW, 10D and 5G)... another one we tried was paying $10 for every million dollar in salary spending into the pot... and winner takes all, so essentially you can possibly buy a winner...|||i like head to head over points, i find that points misappropriates stats and doesnt do justice to certain stats. Much the same in baseball, certain stats are held above others due to point values, when infact just putting the amounts totaled for the week head to head and not using a points system is the best way to compete.|||well for yahoo public leagues there are 10 categories goals,assists,+/-,power play points,penalty minutes,game winning gaols,goalie wins,goals against,save percentage,and shut outs it varies by fantasy league though

What are the best summer lacrosse and field hockey camps to go to?
I am a female lacrosse and field hockey player and i would like to become a better player.

I live in Tennessee, but i travel there and its a really great camp. you can even be evaluated for futures (field hockey) they also have lacrosse I will put the link to the summer camps page in the box.|||Northwestern has a great camp..its 4 days and its a lot of lacrosse but you get to see the campus, play on the lake side field and learn from the best.

What are some good websites that i can use to find out about all things about hockey?
I want to know hockey, like everything that has to do with hockey.
It's history. Who plays it, and the teams. Everything. I know some, but i want to be one of those people who can tell you anything about hockey. I mainly want to know about hockey in the United States and Canada.
I would like websites that have a lot of useful information and not a website with just a couple of facts on it.
Thank You|||A lot of people bash wiki it because it's user run, but it's more reliable than you would think. If you are new to the game and really want to get information on the professional level, I would visit these sites in this order:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey
(A broad overview of hockey's history)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_鈥?/a>
(A broad overview of the NHL's history)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_100鈥?/a>
(This is a list of some great hockey players throughout the years, if you want to learn about the great ones, you can click their names individually. If you get through all three of these sites, you'll have a great grasp on NHL's history, and anything else you learn will be a bonus)
http://tsn.ca/nhl/statistics/?show=skate鈥?/a>
(While the last list was a good source of great historical hockey players, it doesn't offer a lot of information on current stars because it was published in 1998. This list is who is dominating statistically in today's era. TSN.ca is good for two reasons. One, you can use it as a guideline for who to research if you want to learn more about a specific player. Two, TSN.ca is the best current hockey site out there in my opinion. It's run out of Canada where everybody focuses on hockey, so you get all the ins and outs. NHL.com does a good job, too, so pick your poison for your up to date hockey needs.)|||I cant help u there ive learned everything from fAmily and do not tell. Her wikipidia because youdont always no if its right|||That would be a good start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey

How to tape an ice hockey stick for street?
I have a ice hockey stick and im using for street hockey. How do i tape it up so the blade doesnt get destroyed.|||i think you should use a different stick for street hockey|||It's best not to use your game sticks for street hockey as the road always does damage to the blades. If your going to anyways then duct tape the bottom of the blade with two or three strips of tape. Don't tape the rest of the blade it makes it harder to control the ball as the tape sticks to the road, but duct tape is slippery and durable and should help to save the bottom of the blade.|||Well if you really want to tape it, I'd suggest putting several layers to protect the blade. However, it will make your stick heavier. But I wouldn't recommend it, it will rip badly, sucks even more if you have an expensive one. If it's a one-piece, you would be better removing it and using a cheap plastic blade or using a stick that is made for street hockey (abs blade) like mentioned. Their material is designed for use on concrete/asphalt so they will wear down less quickly. If you're just shooting, get a shooting plate (artificial/synthetic ice or not) or a plastic plate//plexiglas from the hardware store.|||don't use your game stick for street hockey. it's gunna get ruined veryyy quickly. use a street hockey stick or something with a fiberglass blade. or use an old stick you don't care about. i don't tape the blades of my street hockey sticks (i used to until i realized it's pointless and just gets ruined). i usually just use old wooden sticks for street. currently i'm using my broken synergy one piece. the blade broke so i cut it down, flipped the shaft, and put a cheap blade in.|||Much better idea - Get a street specific stick with an ABS blade|||DUCT TAPE!!
Why does Hockey stat tracker load up when I am in a fantasy basketball league?
I am in a fantasy basketball league and when I click on stat tracker, the hockey stat tracker appears. Is this happening to anyone else?|||I've been getting the same problem on one of my laptops, but not the other. Is it an issue with Windows 7?|||it's been this way for a wek and they are not fixing it.|||mine as well. but my friend can open basketball stattracker on the same internet connection, then, is it a problem of my pc? my pc is windows xp.
What is the best cut for an ice hockey skate?
I'm curious as to what are the benefits of various cuts on ice skates. I've been using the "house cut" at my local rink which is 1/2 inch. But I've heard of other hockey players using 3/8, 5/8, 7/16, etc. How do these cuts affect the way people skate?|||The hollow of the blade affects how much you hug your edges and how fast you go. The closer to 1" you get, the shallower the hollow becomes, and the faster you'll skate. The deeper the hollow, the sharper you turn. Some heavier set people prefer a deeper hollow because they find it gives them more stability. It's a personal preference. The only problem with getting a custom cut (aside from just remembering what you like) is that it's different from what the rink's specialty is, so they may or may not set it correctly every time (depending on who's doing your sharpening).|||3/8 if you want a little more bite, 7/16 if you want a little more speed. Most people at my rink use 7/16, but I use 3/8.
Start at 7/16 and adjust in 1/16 increments till you find something you like.

Why do hockey fans get so mad when you say something bad about the sport?
I'm just wondering. Is it that hockey fans are more passionate about the game than other fans are about the sports they enjoy? Or is it something else?|||No, I think any fans get mad when that happens. I guess because hockey ratings and popularity have decreased so drastically lately, that the fans don't really stand for much more. Also, if you walk into a bar you could probably find (at least where I live) a handful of football fans, a handful of baseball fans, and a handful of basketball fans. You'd be lucky if you even found a hockey fan. Hockey tends to be the sport to take the most jokes and to be made fun of the most, kudos to the hockey fans who do stand up for their sport.|||No one wants there passion to be talked about negatively. That goes with sports, music, movies etc.|||Personally, I only get really cheesed when some hot head starts going on about how great a team is when they've never really watched them play! If they don't follow the game through out the season, I don't see how they can make an informed comment. For instance, my daughter's boyfriend is a Penguins "fan". Has he SEEN some of the stunts they've pulled against the Red Wings lately?? I think not.|||Go to other sports sections..And say something bad aboot their sport..See the responses you get..Even the wrasslin section..Tell them the "sport" is fake then count how many emails you get from irate Sports Entertainment fans.
Hockey fans are very passionate when talking hockey..That's why its great going to a game,or at a bar chatting aboot the sport.You could literally get into a fight if you disagree with another fan..How great is that?|||Because it's not the most popular spot in the US, and it pisses me off when people say hockey is gay or how football, baseball, or basketball is better, it's just an opinion. There are so many ignorant fu(ks in this world...|||I think most people who insult hockey have never actually watched the game and enjoyed it for what it is. So, when that person comes up to me and says something like "hockey is for whimps", I get pissed, because he has no idea what he's talking about. This applies to hockey more than any other major American sport, because everyone's seen football, baseball and basketball, and most people have played soccer. So, people can actually back up their arguments about how "baseball sucks" or "football sucks", because they've seen it or played it, but a relatively small amount of people in the US have seen or played ice hockey.|||People are entitled to their opinions, and I don't have a problem with that. It's only the uninformed answers that irritate me. Like the people who say hockey is boring because there aren't enough goals. Are you serious? This isn't soccer on ice! It's fast-paced, exciting action for 60 minutes. 1-0 defensive battles full of amazing goalie saves are some of the most amazing games I've ever watched.
Someone who says something like that has obviously never watched a game. I don't mind people being critical of the sport, but at least learn something about it before you spout off. That's my 2 cents.|||I think it's because people pick on hockey a lot more than any of the other major professional sports MLB, NBA, NFL. It's not the easiest sport to understand or appreciate and a lot of the criticism comes from people who don't know the sport well. For the most part the sport is ignored by the media until something bad happens. We're like the fed-up edgy kid who's gotten bullied too much, you probably don't want to provoke us.|||Hockey fans are passionate about their team, but most importantly the sport itself. That's what makes the sport so great... passion.
The players show passion in the game, and their fans show just as much, when cheering for their team/booing the arch rival/opponent.
If you just allow somebody to bash the sport you absolutely love... then how are you a true fan? Whenever somebody bashes the NHL/Hockey, I am quick to defend it.
Now look at Basketball... the players at times lack passion, and look how, "great", that NBA Final is turning out. However, the basketball fans would probably jump all over me right now if they saw this, which is normal because that would prove they are a TRUE fan of the sport.
