Vancouver is awesome Hockey Pool!

I thought I would set this up for anyone who is interested!

This pool season runs from Boxing Day (Dec 26) to the end of the Regular Season! It’s an interactive pool that is typically known as a salary cap hockey pool. You manage a team of seven players: 1 goalie, 1 center, 2 wingers, 2 defencemen, 1 extra attacker and you get 2 trades per week every Wednesday night. The cost of players goes up and down depending on how many managers are buying and selling them, analogous to the stock market. The point of the game is two fold: get lots of points from your players and make money in the process. In order to do this, you wanna buy players who play a lot of games and you wanna buy when they are cheap and sell when they are expensive. Better players will generally cost more so the faster you make money, the earlier you can field a star studded team.

It’s free to play. Just follow these steps:

1. Create your user account and log in.
2. Join the Vancouver is Awesome league.
3. Give your team a name.
4. Pick your players by clicking on the screenshot085 and sell them by clicking on the screenshot086.

Winner gets VIA bragging rights!
