As the NHL and players association scramble to come to terms, end the lockout, and play a shortened season, it strikes me as the right time to test a return of the Redscape Hockey League.
Redscape sported a fantasy hockey league in 2002 and 2003, I believe the 2004 lockout/missing season killed whatever momentum was there to continue.
I pitched the idea to the Redscape Keeper League (football) on Yahoo and there are three of us interested so far. Any other takers? I would volunteer to be the commissioner, and we would run the league either through either Yahoo or ESPN.
My initial thought is to have 10-14 teams if we can get that many (I'd go with 8 as a minimum), head-to-head matchups based on each stat category (like Fantasy Baseball), though that can be discussed.
Clearly, the end of the lockout isn't a done deal, but I'm kicking off the discussion now because we won't have much time before the season starts otherwise.
Please indicate your interest here, or on the post I'm about to make on the Redscape Facebook Group, or by sending an email to kalvin(dot)miller(at)gmail(dot)com. Looking forward to seeing you on the (virtual) ice.
