Hey signups have begun for another season of the HockeyBuzz Super League Fantasy Game!
Sign up here: HBSL sign up
It's the best fantasy game every created. Of course, we're a little biased. The HBSL is a hybrid between a salary cap game and a head-to-head fantasy game. Each week you create your 20 man roster based on the actual NHL salary cap and the actual salary cap hits. You then face-off with a fellow hockey fan. At the end of the regular season, we throw the best 128 teams into a 7-week playoff.
There is a Season Ticket Holder bracket and a Free bracket.
HBSL STH Bracket Entrants who were season ticket holders at the start of the NHL season are eligible for the following prizes:
