The great thing about Yahoo fantasy hockey finally opening for a new season is that we won't have to wait four months for the season to actually begin this time around. Lockout-free (for now), training camps will open in a few weeks and the regular season will kick off in just over a month. It's one of the best times of year.

With the opening of registration, we're also here to unveil Yahoo's top 100 players for the 2013-14 season. Before that, here's what new in fantasy hockey for this season:

Keeper Improvements • See previous season's roster on your team page

• Easier viewing of other teams' keepers

• Easier keeper approval and assignment Faster Registration • You can create or join a league in seconds. Commissioners, we have the same customization as always but you can set up your league in half the time! League Passwords No Longer Required • Commissioners do not need to create passwords for leagues. Just copy and paste the invite url (ex. http://y.ahoo.it/2y0y1y3y) to share with others. Coming Soon • A new design for the game—see our Fantasy Hockey game for a sneak peak—and more enhancements will be coming soon.
