The Great Gagner
Certainly by now, anyone who follows hockey has heard about Sam Gagner's record-setting night of 4 goals and four assists against Chicago. He humbly managed to tie the Oilers' club record for points in a game, previously shared by legends, Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey.
I'll bet there were some very happy fantasy managers in deep leagues who looked like geniuses for keeping him on their rosters.
The NHL record of 10 points in one game set by Darryl Sittler, still stands. Scott Gomez can't get that in one full season.

Coach's Corner Piano Performance by Don Cherry
Here at UHB Arena, we post mainly about fantasy hockey, however when something like this comes along, it's worth talking about.
It seems CBC's Hockey Night in Canada analyst, Don Cherry, has a fantasy of his own, that of becoming a concert pianist. Have a look at this video that an astute fan has uploaded, showing Don tickling the ivories on an imaginary keyboard.
I think it's hilarious! What do you guys think?

Goalie Cam Ward credited with goal 12/26/11
This is one of those rare times that you wish Yahoo! would have a "Goals" category for goalies.
Do you think Cam Ward should get credit for that goal?

iPhone App for Starting NHL Goalies
If you are in a fantasy hockey league, you might find this iPhone App useful. It allows you to be notified the instant an NHL team has announced its starting goaltender for its next hockey game.
The App is from LeftWingLock.com

Rules
UHB H2H Rules
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. Any manager who neglects his/her team for an extended period of time risks losing their franchise and could have the team assigned to a new manager at any point during the season or at the very least, the following season. Examples of neglect include but not limited to: not responding to trade offers, not editing lineup regularly, not responding to league e-mails, etc.
7. All of the UHB Commissioner's decisions are final.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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 white value t-shirt. 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.
11. Joining this league means you understand and agree to these rules and conditions.
