Hey everyone,

Since we're going to spend some good quality time online with each others with this league, I thought it would be a good idea to take some time to introduce ourselves properly. Feel free to copy/paste the following and change it with your answers, or just go with something different, as long as everyone says a little something about themselves. No need to be as specific as I am, but I'd like to at least know everyone's name, in what part of the world they live and what their fantasy hockey experience is.


Name - Pete
Age - 32
Location - Near Helsinki, Finland
Status - Married. We have one kid, a son, who is one year old now.
Occupation - I do all kinds of work for the Helsinki Public Works Department (for example drive a snowplough during winters and take care of green areas during the summer)

Fantasy Hockey Experience - I have lots of experience from many leagues and I run another league that is very similar to this one.

Favorite NHL team(s) Penguins and Blues. Want to see the Cup in Canada some day so this year it's the Jets too.
Favorite NHL player(s) Sidney Crosby, Marc-Andre Fleury, Mark Stone, Mikael Granlund, Alex Pietrangelo, Frederik Andersen (Mario Lemieux is my all time favorite)

Hobbies - Fantasy hockey... lol? Well I love watching goods movies and TV shows and I love traveling (Been to Vancouver, Toronto, Japan and all over Europe already).

Hey Mr. vape shop man got a question for ya. I'm trying to quit smoking recently and invested in a pretty sturdy vape kit. Keep in mind i'm new with this kind of stuff. Got the Aegis kit with a zenith tank and whatnot.

The rig worked great was pretty stoked. Now the problem is the rig only lasted 5 days... it fell from the upright position over to its side and some threaded connector broke and I can't thread the coil in no more.

Now my question is, is there a way I can get a replacement connector piece? (if you even know what i'm describing) I'm not even sure if that was originally part of the tank or the vape itself even i'm that stupid when it comes to these things.

Edmonton Oilers GM

Name - Steve
Age - 53 (call me dad, I seem to be the oldest one here)
Location - Edmonton
Status - Separated but shared custody of a great 13 year old daughter.
Occupation - Data Technician for a oilfield services company, which means in the winter I spend a great deal of time up north on drilling rigs setting up and repairing electronic systems. Hence why I'm not able to commit to help run this league.

Fantasy Hockey Experience - It started with MPHL 10 years ago but I got the bug and am now in 5 leagues.

Favorite NHL team(s) Oilers thru thick and thin.
Favorite NHL player(s) Seguin, RNH, Datsyuk, Subban, Fleury, Karlsson (William and Erik), Simmonds, Ovie, Scheifele, (Messier and Coffey are my all time favorites)

Hobbies - Fantasy hockey, obviously. playing hockey used to be a big time hobby before I wrecked both knees in an industrial explosion when I was 37. Volleyball, basketball, softball, back then too. I have always and will always read a ton of books on pretty much anything. That's why I'm so wise, Pete. ;) Warped sense of humour which isn't always appreciated haha.

It's great to have at least two old mans here. We have guys from 20 years old to 50 years old, from Canadians to Finnish people, from guards to data technicians etc...

Steve, didn't even realize it all started with MHL and now you've got the fantasy league bug. That's awesome.
