I shall start with my team.

Desolation Row.
I am the original GM.
The team name has always been Desolation Row.

How about you Ray? You are, naturally, the original GM, but there have been some name changes from time to time I believe.

You are asking a lot from an old man, lol.

Let's see! I started out by reading DObber's forum about a league starting up looking for a few GMs so I responded. I thought I would check out my fantasy knowledge against people that I didn't know and what better group than a bunch of avid fantasy hockey fans from Canada. I was accepted, duh, and named the original team Mr. Jonium's Rink Rats after a worm that lived in the front yard who my children named Mr. Jonium.

The first year I had a rough schedule but the second year I ended up second in the regular season and won the championship.

I was then joined by Chirs, who now has his own team, and we had some fun. We changed the name of the team to Buffalo Cab Co. in honor of Patrick Kane's cab incident one pre-season.

I have been contemplating changing the team name back to just Rink Rats, but I still kind of like the Buffalo Cab Co. so the name may stick for a while longer.

I remember the early days when Matt & Greg first started the league and there was an original owner Butch who really had no sense of humor and had a little confrontation with Jay. The co-commissioners handled that with class and they got a replacement for Butch. Butch drafted one hell of team too. Oh well! Ah, the good ole days. I know I have given the Co-commissioners some grief from time to time.

It has been an interesting 5 years so far and look forward to many, many more years.

Great job guys!

Just for fun I took a peek back at our first season. Here are the results with the original team names.

Fitzy Stars, Desolation Row, Arthur Tigers and Soo Storm remain the same. Mr. Johnium's Rink Rats history we are now familiar with. The others I would have to do some research on to be sure.

Joel took over Burch's team. That was the first change. I remember looking into this early last year, and after much contemplation and process of elimination, being able to tie to together all the teams. If you look back to, I think, January 2013, I made a post that made note of each team and its various owners.

I'm Arthur Tigers and don't see changing that. Red (my son Josh) has migrated to pools of his own. I wish I was as successful as he is, but I don't work as diligently.

Picking a name was tricky. What do you want to be called? I was manager of the Sr. Mens team "Arthur Tigers" for 12 seasons. A low level amateur mens team. Imports allowed. Overall budget was about $70,000 in 1999. The team folded due to lack of executive. We had a ton of fun over the years.

So, you'll be looking at the Tigers staying on board for the foreseeable future. This has been a good league. I feel like I've developed some friends here! All-in-all it's been a friendly place to play and have some fun!

Deciding on an avatar was another challenge. I like the original "Tigers" logo (haven't used it in a while), but really really enjoy using "Tigger". So many images available and this cartoon character has so many expressions! Lots of fun for my feeble brain! Simple fun is great!

Ah. I bought a 1920's one piece hockey stick this week! I've been wanting one for 20+ years. Yellow birch for $45. A wall hanger!

Greg and I are lucky to have found Ray, Scoop and Brandon as such solid and enduring league members in the first year. I definitely feel more friendship and bonding with this league than any others I've been in, despite the occasional disagreements along the way.

I always love the perspectives of you, Scoop, and Ray in particular, since you've both been around the fantasy hockey world for so long. Smile

I'm touched! No, really, I'm touched in the head.

Kidding aside, thank you very much. They say "imitation is the greatest form of flattery", well, I created a league for my friends here in the States that emulated the original Nutbars League setup. The only thing missing is the lively characters that this league has.. Some of the guys in my Super Dynasty Hockey League are rather dull, as Chris can attest to.

I've been involved in fantasy hockey since 1994, and now am in three league religiously. I enjoy them all, but I do like chatting with the Nutbars the best. Even Scoop and I have chatted on the telephone on occasion and he has an open invitation to stay at my house if he and his family ever dare to venture south to the Big Apple. He told me about his first misadventure. LOL.

Same goes to anyone interested. I live a short distance from Manhattan and you can see the skyline from my house. Someday I'll post a picture.

Interesting you would have that same experience with other hockey leagues Ray. We certainly had good fortune ending up with this core group of guys.

I've been lucky enough to meet Scoop a few times, and it's been fun to develop a bit of a face-to-face friendship with him. I'm sure I would have dropped in on you as well Ray, if you had been a little closer. Having said that, New York is not that far from Michigan so one never knows. You are always welcome in Michigan, too. Though I'm sure what I can offer in Michigan is not so grand as a Manhatten skyline Smile

We keep talking about going to New York. It'll happen and I'm certain I'll take time to bug Ray for a couple days! Pay structure changed this year. I now get paid 10 times a year, instead of 12. No July or September pays. Life will be fine, but we didn't save our pennies careful enough!

Surprises like that are never welcome, eh Scoop? Sorry to hear there's a cash crunch coming. If anybody can navigate those waters, however, I'm sure it's you.
