Sure, the Stampede may just be finished, we're right in the middle of Summer, but there's nothing wrong with being prepared too soon, is there?Last year, I wasn't quite able to get the day that I wanted, so starting just a little bit earlier ensures that we get the best day possible and as it has been for the last couple of years, the weekend seemingly works. I haven't heard too many complaints about it, so we'll keep it going.
This year, the draft will go on Saturday, October 3rd, a 2pm start.
We'll also have a venue change this year, as I wasn't too terribly happy with last year's Wi-Fi issues at Shilaleigh's. We'll head down to the VooDoo Lounge on 16th Avenue, not too far away from SAIT. The VooDoo Lounge has a private area down in the basement and they will have public and private Wi-Fi that we'll be able to use, if we so wish.
I know for some friends, they will be connecting remotely, so I will be making every effort to make sure that they are good to go for the event. +Brian will hopefully be joining us again from down under and +Chris hopefully will be joining us from the coast as well.
For those joining in person, you can check out the location and the menu ahead of time, by heading to their website here. Their wings are excellent!
Come on out, bring a friend... we'll see if we can finally hit the 30-team mark for the 2016 season!
Need more details? Well, there are a few changes to the program this year, hopefully to infuse a little bit more fun. The entry fee will be bumped up to $60 this year, but with a bigger fee, it will mean more prizes and a few more ways to at least make your money back this year.
We will have three mini-games in the hockey pool this year, hopefully to keep a few more teams interested through the season, including the goalie win survivor pool, the rookie scoring pool and one more mystery statistic pool, which will be announced at the time of the draft.
The overall pool will remain the same, assuming we have 30 or less teams...
- 14 players taken
- 8 forwards
- 4 defensemen
- 2 goalies
- most points wins
- goal - 1 point
- assist - 1 point
- win - 2 points
- shutout - 2 points
It's just that easy. The goalie win survivor pool and rookie scoring pool will be explained at the draft and the mystery statistic pool will also be announced then.
