Draft Hockey League

We have designed our Draft Hockey League to make sure you get the most out of your ice time and have the best playing experience possible.

The 2010/2011 Draft Hockey League will be comprised of two divisions, the Watertown Division and Chelmsford Division. Both divisions are “B level” on average.

Balance All players are re-drafted each season. Every team has an even shot at the title. Rosters set at a maximum of 14 skaters. No substitutes allowed (except goalies as needed). Our league is “B level” on average, we run pre-draft evaluations to help establish fit for new players.

The Draft

The draft is organized by the league but done by the captains. The captains use their knowledge of players from previous seasons, the evaluation skates, and league stats to build a team with the best chemistry and competitiveness possible. For 2010-2011 we are adding an assistant captain to each team to help draft and manage the best teams possible.

The rosters will be published on the website immediately after the draft.
The order of the draft is not published.
