It's Getting Drafty in Here!

Welcome to the 2015-2016 Keeper's League

Hello there fellow Don't Fear The Keepers! The start of the 2015-2016 NHL Season is nearly upon us, which means so is another season of ESPN Keeper Fantasy Hockey! Hooray! The most neglected fantasy sport on their entire site! That's how we roll, our masochism and self-depravity knows no bounds!

The draft is Sunday, October 5th @ 9pm!

A Champion is Crowned

Go Leafs Go All The Way made up for the actual Maple Leafs going nowhere absolutely nowhere, with the league Championship as they barely edged out the North Providence Quahogs with a final score of 363.6 to 354.3.

Congrats to our League Champ, and a moment of silence for our runner up...

Leavers and Joiners

Bye!

There have been some changes to the League's teams this year, as Don't Fear the Keeper is doing its best to challenge the NFL and their constantly re-locating California teams by bidding Fare-Thee-Well to the Okinawa Greenleafs and I Getzlaf on Goals. Good riddance, as we spit in their general direction.

Oh, Herrroo!

In order to cleanse our collective palates from the disgraced teams who forced their ways out, we welcome Southie Hard and the Shrew Crew into the fold! This is Southie Hard's first year with us, and Shrew Crew returns after a year-long hiatus complete with lost keepers. Best of luck!

Oooh! Shiny!
