A Permanent Hiatus???

Given the fact that admin came out and admitted they have no intention to make any updates to WIS hockey, let alone ever creating a dynasty league, for me and many others, the writing is on the wall. I have been around for almost 23 years, but sadly, with admin’s attitude toward the loyal users of WIS hockey, it appears it I time to call it quits. I thought about doing a final Random Roster League, but I think my last league (my swan song) will be the following:

Choose any 5 letters of the alphabet. Those letters will represent the initial letters of each player’s given name and surname. One important thing to remember: “no two letters can be consecutive letters!”

For each forward position you must have 4 players using 4 different combinations of your 5 letters. For the d-men, all 6 must be different combos of the 5 letters; the goalies and scrubs must also be all different combinations of your 5 chosen letters.

Let’s say you chose the following 5 letters: B,D,F,H, & J. Your possible line-up could be:

C’s - DH - Dale Hawerchuk, BF - Bernie Federko, JD- Jude Drouin, and DJ - Doug Jarvis

RW’s - BD -Babe Dye, BF - Bill Fairbairn, BH - Brett Hull, JF - Jim Fox

LW’s - JB - John Bucyk, BF - Bob Fillion, DH - Dennis Hull, BH - Bobby Hull

D - DB - Dustin Byfuglien, JB - Justin Braun, BD - Bob Dailey, JF - Justin Faulk, BH - Bill Hajt DH - Dan Hamhuis

G & Scrubs - JH - Jeff Hackett, DH - Dominik Hasek, DB - Dan Bonar, JB - Jay Beagle, BF - Brent Fedyk.

Salary cap - $110 million, no ML’ers, no injuries/suspensions, no clones, no PI, no WW, and no shootout.

Sign up below and hopefully we can get this going before the start of the 2026-27 NHL season!

League number to follow at the half way mark.

I was referring to playing WIS hockey, obviously, not my advanced years.
As for Wayne and Mario, like all my other leagues, they are banned. Mario would not qualify anyway...consecutive letters.

Always great to have my nemesis in one of my leagues. (Did I really type that???)
