There are three common types of fantasy hockey leagues. A 'Head-to-Head' league is one where the fantasy owners are pitted in one on one duels each week.

Another type of league is 'Points', in which point multipliers are assigned to certain categories and all owners try to accumulate points by scoring in these categories without the weekly competition. The final type is 'Rotisserie' in which teams are ranked in order of best to worst order in a certain category and receive a flat amount of points per category based on the place they finish (i.e. 10 points for #1 in a 10 team league, 9 points for #2). An example of a successful online fantasy hockey league include:
