HBT Hockey Pool Anyone

In Canada beer may be a lifesytle, but Hockey is a religion!

Anyone interested in joining a hockey pool?

I doubt the interest will be that high (considering hockey's demise in the US), but we could make the stakes interesting enough that even if a few of us participated it would be worth following.

If there is enough interest, or the even if a few want to put up some bucks, I will organize.

I might be intrested, what kind of pool are you thinking about?

I love hockey, so glad the season is almost here.

I love hockey! (See my team picture in my gallery). I might be interested in a pool!

Sure would be interested...

Bring it on! Cannot wait for our season to start ...

I will work on getting something set up.

Definitely!

Now we're talking my sport!

L A kings fan ( since marcel dionne). Im in

Any preference on the format?

A draft can be fun, but is a little more involved. A box type pool where you must pick one player from each of a variety of categories is a little simpler.

Thoughts?

Go Wings - Go Blue !

Hey count me in. I grew up playing hockey. Is this a fantasy hockey type of thing? A draft would be lots of fun.

Has anything become of this Fantasy Hockey League? Hockey season starts this week

Sorry guys,

I dropped the ball on this one. I got really busy with work, and then was out of town for the weekend.

I can get something up real quickly, but the big stumbling block for me is how to get a wager involved. Bragging rights is fine and all, but to keep me interested a prize is nice.

Any ideas? I thought of everyone pledging a 6 pack of HB to the winner, but that creates some problems with our International border.

Paypal to one person to hold the prize? Has some obvious trust issues....

I have no time for the pool, sorry about that! I've got a crazy couple of months right now, visiting colleges, taking a vacation, hunting, etc. So I have to bow out this time.

But yeah, for the football survivor pool, that's exactly what we did. Everyone sent their money to me via Paypal and I'm holding it. There are trust issues involved to be sure, but I think they know I'm pretty reliable! So, if you're going to do this for a money prize, I suggest something like that.

I dunno, but count me in...

Okay so we are set to go!
