Welcome!

Tabletop hockey enthusiast:

This blog will be an online guide to my mini-league of the 1956-57 NHL season, using 4th Street Hockey cards and dice game.

The format is a 20-game season, with each team playing the other four times (2 home, 2 away).

The top four teams will make the playoffs, with #1 vs. #4 and #2 vs. #3 in the two semi-final, best-of-seven series.

The posts will consist of brief write-ups of the games played.

As of the start of this blog (2/25/16), I have already played eight of the 60 games. The results of all games can be found here.

Each team's page includes a brief overview of their actual season, plus a team photo and the stats from my mini league.

League leaders will be compiled after each team has played 10 games (30 total games).
