Head-to-Head Virtual Hockey
Welcome to the inaugural season of the United Hockey Blades fantasy league (UHB). The UHB will be an online custom league using Yahoo! Fantasy Sports. Fantasy teams will compete in a virtual hockey league but for a real prize, that being a ceramic stein (see further below).
This site is designed to educate fans of not only this specific league but fantasy hockey leagues in general. Resources such as player rankings, rumors and projected starting goalies will be provided via web links to help managers make informed decisions regarding their roster moves. It will also serve as an archive of the league's history as well as league records once the first season is completed and a winner is declared.
This site will also be used to gauge the responses of readers via polls. Topics that visitors will be polled on include draft format, scoring stats, rotisserie vs. head-to-head, etc. This will help determine what shape the UHB will take and what improvements, if any, are needed.
The league will be first come, first served with the exception of 3 reserved spots, one for the commissioner and the others for two deputy commissioners. This means the first to sign up are the the ones that are going to take part. Information on how and when to sign up for the UHB fantasy league will be provided on this site at a later date, before the start of the 2009-10 NHL season. Every year, this league will start with a clean slate, so if you don't get in this year, there is always next year. If you think you would be interested, bookmark this site for quick reference. Good luck to all who enter!

UHB Commissioner's Cup by unitedhockeyblades
Browse Uhb Mugs
Commissioner's Challenge
Beat Me At My Own Game!
This will be the trophy that all UHB fantasy league teams compete to win. Each side of the champion's stein is adorned with the sharp-looking, blade-like UHB logo, surrounded by a silver laurel wreath which is joined by a silver hockey skate. Wrapped around the wreath is a blue CHAMPION banner and at the very bottom is an area that can be customized by anyone to include the team name of their choice.
In between the dual emblems is a customizable year running down vertically the center of the mug. This is designed to be easily changed by any commissioner running their own local UHB league. Click on the mug and see how simple it is to edit the text.
If you can beat me at my own game, you win and keep this cup. If my superior hockey knowledge is too much for you and I end up winning my own trophy, I will take pity on the runner-up and offer a consolation prize. Do you accept the challenge? Can you defeat the commissioner at his own game? We shall see.

Consolation Prize
Runner-up's Choice
* The consolation prize shall be awarded only if I, the commissioner, win the UHB cup. If any other team wins the trophy, no consolation prize is awarded.

RULE BOOK
UHB Rules
UHB League Rules
As per the UHB commissioner
These UHB rules are in addition to the Yahoo Sports rules. You are expected to learn them and abide by them. Ignorance of the rules will not be accepted as an excuse. The UHB and its commissioner reserve the right to add to this list and/or modify any existing rule at any moment for the good of the league.1. No manager shall use the name of a real NHL or other professional/minor league team for their team name. Names of famous people, characters and works are also prohibited. Anything copyrighted will be rejected.
2. No vulgar terms or language shall be used in whole or in part as a manager's team name or manager name.
3. Team names shall not be changed once the regular season commences. If a manager changes his/her team name after the official season opener, their roster will be locked until said name is changed back to its original one. You may experiment with as many name changes as you want between the time you sign up right up until the time of the first official games that count in the standings. At that point, the one you choose will be the one you keep all season. ONCE THE SEASON STARTS, ALL TEAM NAMES WILL BE LOCKED.
4. Team icons must be family-friendly and are subject to the same criteria as rule #2.
5. Good-natured trash talk will be allowed within reason but must be kept rated PG.
6. All of the UHB Commissioner's decisions are final.
7. Failure to comply with any of these rules will result in having your team roster locked and possible banishment from the league, following a league vote.
8. To claim the UHB fantasy league prize (the mug), the winning manager must provide a shipping address to where I, the Commissioner, can send it. All costs will be assumed by me, the league's Commissioner, including shipping and handling with the exception of possible custom's duty fees. The prize awarded will be the one that is posted on this site and indicated as the UHB Cup (League Trophy), no substitutions. The UHB Commissioner shall not be held responsible for the winning team manager failing to provide a valid shipping address. If no shipping address is provided, the winner agrees to waive his or her right to the prize and no cup shall be awarded. All personal information will be kept private and will not be used for any other purpose.
9. Should I, the UHB commissioner, end up winning the league championship, I agree to award the runner-up in the championship finals, a consolation prize, that being a Basic Dark, UHB t-shirt (one of two designs) as indicated here on this web page. Runner-up will have the choice of what color and size the t-shirt shall be. No substitutions will be allowed for the consolation prize. As with rule #8, runner-up will be required to submit a valid shipping address upon the finish of the season or relinquish the consolation prize. Consolation prize will only be awarded to runner-up if the UHB commissioner wins the UHB championship. If any other team wins the league championship, no consolation prize is awarded.
10. Joining this league means you understand and agree to these rules and conditions.
