Fantasy Hockey

In fantasy hockey, it's generally advisable to prioritize top-tier forwards, particularly elite centers and wingers, as they tend to accumulate points through goals and assists. After securing a few strong forwards, consider selecting a high-performing defenseman who contributes significantly to scoring and power-play opportunities. Finally, aim for a reliable goaltender, as a strong goalie can provide valuable wins and saves, but typically wait until the later rounds to draft one unless a top option is available. Balancing positional depth and star power is key to building a competitive roster.

A snake draft in ESPN fantasy is a method of selecting players where the order of picks reverses after each round. For example, if a team picks first in the first round, they will pick last in the second round. This format ensures that all teams have a fair opportunity to build their rosters, as it balances the advantage of early picks by allowing teams to select earlier and later in alternating rounds. It’s a popular format for fantasy leagues to promote competitive balance.

A typical fantasy hockey league has 8 - 12 teams but often have as many as 20.
