| PIM

PIM's in this particular league are a good thing. As far as the NHL goes, it of course depends on the type of player, the situation, the penalty, etc. There are bad penalties, and good penalties, etc., but that is outside the scope of the super simple Action Hockey League! All you need to know is the more the better!

+/- certainly has it's proponents and detractors. Bad players on good teams will have a better rating than a good player on a bad team, simply due to the amount of goals against and for that occurs on the different teams. As a rule of thumb however, someone with a high rating, TENDS to be a more solid player all around. Yes, it is a little random, but it is a nice option for fantasy scoring because it forces a bit of a balanced roster.

Then again when there are only 4 teams, the rosters are already pretty outta whack as it stands, but whatevs, its all good clean fun!
