Another Yahoo Fantasy Hockey League.........: Fantasy Hockey It's not to late. Skydivemom has set up a Yahoo Fantasy Hockey League using the Fanatsy Point Scoring System. Fantasy point scoring is similar to rotisserie scoring, except that each category is weighted based on its perceived value to a team (e.g. goals are worth more than assists). Fantasy point scoring is only available in Custom Leagues, and the commissioner must specify both the categories used and the point modifier values. If the commissioner does not specify a point modifier for a given category, no fantasy points accrue in that category. 12 Team Max allowed in FPS Leagues on Yahoo. So join now. Draft is Monday Oct. 16th 6:15PM EST. Autodraft set if you can't be live for the draft. Details Inside. Thanks

Is it to early to make Predictions for the upcoming 2006-07 NHL Season?: What say you SportsFilter Folks? Is it? Howard Berger, writing out of Toronto and writes for that Eklund Guy's Hockey Blog seems to think it isn't. He had his out in early August. I've got mine ready, anxiously waiting to share them with the world but my own best hockey buddy (skydivemom) insist it's way to early. I've got a ton of "Hockey Happenings" (like the NHL not going to the tighter fitting {sleek} jersey we saw in the Olympics this year but waiting for 2007-08) I want to talk about and nobody to listen or debate. Maybe she's right, maybe I'm just a sick hockey addict experiencing withdrawl in need of a fix. I can't be the only one, am I?

Column Submitting Form Appy Borked: The column submittion appy thingy wouldn't take the column I've been tryingh to submit. It keeps throwing up a page saying: "Sorry, We had trouble adding the category" We saw a similar problem around the time of the Winter Olympics. If I'm doing something wrong let me know but as far as I can see there isn't a check box or jump menu for category anywhere on this app.

Spofite Hockeynut hook-up at the NHL Prospects Tournament: Prospects Tournament. The Red Wings are hosting their annual NHL Prospects Tournament in Travis City, MI starting Sept. 8th and running through Sept. 12th. Rookie prospects from Detroit, Atlanta, St. Louis, NY Rangers, Columbus, Minnesota, Dallas and Tampa Bay are going to be playing 4 games a day plus scheduled team practice times daily. The practice and games are open to the public but room is limited. One ticket is good for all practices and all 4 games daily and at 5 bucks a ticket it's a hockeynut's dream as we endure the off season. I have a few extra tickets that were made available only in person at Centre Ice on July 29th. Additional tickets are going to be made available by fax only August 1st. They sell out fast! Lets get together and check out the incoming talent and get a hockey fix. In the past this tournament has been great and the players are readily accessible to the fans. Bring a Jersey for an autograph and a camera for some great pics. I'll post the Tournament Schedule in my comment. Any takers my email address is on my profile.

SportsFilter Olympic Coverage: SportsFilter Olympic Coverage Where are we at with the Torino Games Coverage? It seems our Editor in Chief is MIA. I've written a few more columns and I was looking forward to reading the columns from the l_b_b and others. Is this project comatose, or not merely dead but sincerely dead? Just looking for some clarity before I invest further in this endevor. Are we still using the GameTime looker room for the opening ceremonies, it's only a few days away?
