Do I need anything else besides an email address?
I don't have a facebook for example soo..
Also, how does this thing work? I've never participated in anything like this, but I'm a huge hockey fan so this would be very interesting 
Also, can people outside U.S&Canoodia join?

No facebook involved, thank God. You do need to create a free account with ESPN before you can join. Which is nothing but creating a username and password, and supplying a valid email.
If you'd like to join, PM your email addy to me and I'll send the invite. Open the invite email and follow the link(s). Once you forward to the link, it should instruct you to become a member of espn, and send you to the new member account setup.
The jist: We have a live draft to choose your team roster this Monday at 8pm ET, and yes I am pretty sure you can join this being outside of North America, as long as the email used to join is valid, with a good/decent internet connection.
Here is a page on ESPN that will explain everything you need to know about fantasy hockey. We are using standard format.
Basically, you are playing straight up against the entire league all season(actually its the first 21 weeks, then fantasy playoffs start).
There are 10 categories that your team will be ranked, according to performance. Goals, Assists, +/-, PIM(which is a good thing), Powerplay Points, ATOI(average time on ice), SOG(Shots on Goal) ///Goalie wins, GAA(goals against avg), and Save%. This scoring format is called, "Rotisserie Points" scoring.
any other questions, I'll do my best to answer them.
Please join.

Well I am not stuck on the time and am willing to change it, and seeing as how Dety is the only other member signed up, I doubt he would care if we changed the time either.
Lets try to work out a medium. I want to try and make everyone happy. Even if that means moving the draft a day early. Let me know what times are good for you.
btw, where are you geographically? Russia?

Lol not Russia, but very close(Finland).
Umm, let me think about the time for a while and let you know asap, ok?
I'm sure we can figure something out

I need to confirm a few things first(waiting for a phone call atm), then I'll know more.
Also, how long does the draft last, and could we make a mock draft so I'll get the gist of it?

there's the mock draft lobby. We are using the snake format. They are all 10 man drafts, but it will give you an idea of what to expect

I cant seem to find where it shows how much each category is worth.....for example a goal = 4 points where 10 mins in PPM = 5 and etc.

yea, we tried to get one going, I think it was last year, and it didn't draw enough interest. the year we did have one, we only had 6 or 8, I can't remember. That year it was basically me vs. c0sm0nautt. I pm'd him, but he said he doesn't have the time to do it this season.
I posted a thread in the pub to see if I could get anyone else involved, bumped it several times and couldn't get anything out of it.

ESPN does have a Hockey challenge game I could get a group started. You pick players based on monetary value that is assigned by their weekly performance, their values can go up and down like the stock market. Entries can have the same players on it, so it's not entirely like fantasy hockey where we have a draft and players are only on one roster.
Take a looksy, I already have an entry on a public group http://games.espn.go.com/hockey-challenge/2014/en/
