July 16, 2010 The new GOHL web portal opens  meaning fans and GM's can now see the league in a modern way with great graphics and also new GM interactivity. The page you are now reading will eventuality be replaced with a GOHL wiki, which will also be added to portal site (hopefully, i had mentioned it last winter to Robert). This page has not been fully updated online. This site will also continue for the sole fact that plans have been made to have some special extras this coming winter. An old FHL season or an 'online draft your team' season will be played to celebrate 20+ seasons of GOHL simming. Potentially this will give us Robert's 2 STHS season's, plus an FHL season, and/or a paid online season. More details will come this fall.                                    Click logo for GOHL 19 Playoffs!!                                                                       History Will Be Was Made                                     GOHL fans                                             May 9, 2010 The Montreal Hitmen have won the 19th GOHL Cup in 7 gruelling games over the San Diego Hawks. This was the 6th time that the Cup Final went to the limit. The Hitmen were reborn this season after taking over the Prairie franchise, which had moved to Ottawa for 2 seasons. In GOHL 5 the city and same owner also won as the Hitmen. Montreal's 103 pts during the season was a franchise best. San Diego was making it's 3rd Cup final, winning their sole Cup in GOHL 6. Their 117 pts during the season was also a franchise record. The Calder Cup was won for the 2nd time by the Lonnyville Bohonos, which are Victoria's farm team. Congratulations to our Champs and finalists and to all GOHL members. Next season will be our 20th, and if things go right the league would like to have it's regular season plus 1 or 2 special seasons using the old FHL to remember old times, and maybe an online league. The extra seasons will be optional to play in but the GOHL Cup will be given to the Champions. The GOHL Cup is fast becoming the most prestigious fantasy trophy out there due to it's longevity and history. February 18/09              Your GOHL           starts friday!                                    One of the oldest and most established fantasy hockey leagues returns this Friday Feb.20th.. yes GOHL 18 is here. We are now legally able to drink in some provinces and states, and we can vote. We have been playing now for 10 years. We still have many original GM's, but the past few seasons we have seen new people come on board. The advantage you have here is history. Your GOHL 18 Cup is more valuable than the hundreds of fantasy leagues that come and go. Just look at FHL listing for new leagues posted just 1-2 months ago, click the links and those leagues are already dead. The GOHL has had some highs and lows like any other FHL league. The early years saw trade deadlines that lasted to 3 and 4 am in the morning. The GOHL 7 March 2003 trade deadline gave us 34 trades in that day alone, with 104 players getting dealt (not counting all the draft picks). That's 1 in 6 of the total GOHL players being dealt... in one day. We had a first round pick being dealt to the Montreal Hitmen in December 2000, only to have Mario Lemieux come out of retirement 2 days after that deal. Needless to say the Hitmen were able to draft the Hall Of Famer with that first pick. We had the "goon" years after GOHL 4 ended, as a couple of teams decided to crack skulls for a few years. A man named Frainer became a legend here. The Dublin Doom had 5427 PIM as a team in GOHL 5. That's around 60 minutes a game average! In 2002, we participated in the GOHL Olympics Challenge, where Canada and Russia played a quick 40 game sched in the league. In GOHL 11, we played our first and only All-Star game, hosted by the Jamaica Pot Smokers, that also featured an All-Star competition. GOHL 12 became a "Retro" season, as many players went on strike. GM's chose to either keep their current GOHL team or select one from the early 90's NHL. Victoria won with a roster that had many of the 90-91 Edmonton Oilers. The FHL sim was used from GOHL 1 to 15. Commish Gour, while still liking to sim actual games, got tired of adjusting rosters in every off-season. (ie checking each player for retirements etc). Doctor's called it 'sim burnout'. Instead of a usual September season for GOHL 16, it began later in January with a new commish (Robert) to sim the games and a new simulator, the STHS. This gave the GOHL the shootout among new options available. Over the course of the years one thing remained constant, The GOHL Rocks!!! became a cry heard regularly and one that should come back even more. Many female fans would also send in their pics saying 'the commish is a hunk' and such.                            The future of the GOHL was and will be succesfull as long as the GM's that are onboard make it that way. Participation is the key. If no longer interested then please step down for someone else. If interested then participate. Just using the message board shows that you are around for example. One day we may have a new online simulator, where GM's could just click on the site and run their team (no commish work!). The search continues. A few reasons why the GOHL is hot!! Reason #1    Reason #2   Reason #3   Reason #4
