Home Ice Advantage gives the tiebreaker in the weekly categories to the Home Team. For example, if the week ended with Goalie Wins tied at 3-3, the Home Team would get the category win for the week.
If you recall, this appears to have been introduced by ESPN last year, and was set as the default, so our league actually used this in week one before we went back and fixed it.
Of note:
1. Ties would be eliminated in the regular season standings.
2. We play a 22 game schedule, so your team will play every other team twice: once at home and once on the road.
3. It is my understanding that seeding would dictate the home team in the playoffs. Hence, winning in the regular season will give your team a slight advantage in the playoffs.
