Hello everyone and welcome in for another article. In this one I’m going to list all of the best resources I’ve found for fantasy hockey dominance. Before I do that, I want to take a second to invite you to join the Apples & Ginos community on Discord and the Apples & Ginos Patreon where I would be more than happy to answer any questions you have about fantasy hockey podcasts, fantasy hockey websites, or any other way I spend my free time (just kidding, those are the only two ways).
Essentially what I’m trying to do here is create a be-all & end-all list of the resources that I personally use and/or think provide valuable information to fantasy hockey managers. With the season about to start, hopefully this is a page you can bookmark and come back to for anything fantasy hockey related you can think of. First off of course, I have to plug all things Apples & Ginos:
Apples & Ginos Blog – providing 3x weekly articles tackling puzzling players, the best #ZeroG goalie options, and statistical analyses of current player trends
Apples & Ginos Fantasy Hockey Podcast – providing 2x weekly podcasts tackling the latest happenings around the NHL and their impact for fantasy
Apples & Ginos Skater Projections & Goalie Tiers – pretty self-explanatory
Apples & Ginos Discord Server – where you can ask any question anytime and get responses from some of the other 450+ other fantasy hockey managers; also just a fun community of people who share a common interest
Apples & Ginos Twitter – tweeting instant fantasy reactions to all the latest NHL news and providing players to watch on a daily basis
Apples & Ginos Patreon – providing paid subscribers with a weekly waiver wire guide as well as guaranteed responses to all fantasy hockey questions via a patrons-only Discord channel
