That's a wonderful domain name for a hockey forum. I'd pick up a copy of IPB or vBulletin, whichever you prefer, I'd recommend IPB, but vB is great too. The best way to divide the boards up IMO, would be:
Site News
- Announcements
- Suggestions
General Hockey
- General Hockey chat
- Equipement
- Junior/other teams and leagues
NHL
-Eastern Conference
- Teams as subforums (Tampa, NY, etc.)
-Western Conference
- Teams as subforums
General
- General Chat
- Introductions
That's probably a good way to layout the forums, just need to put up ads around forums like here, advertising the prizes for posting. If you need any assistance, I'd be happy to help you out.

Lets not forget to add the AHL, as it gained popularity during the hockey strike.
You could also add a forum for olympic hockey when the time comes around.
One thing you don't want to do is to have a bunch of empty forums. Wait until you're busy to open more specialized forums such as a forum for each team. If forums are seen as empty then users will shy away.
Giving away prizes is an excellent way to promote the site and to keep users there. You could give away a prize for the most posts in a month or the best image uploaded. You can use an image gallery which allows users to vote on images.
Get your friends to post in the forum daily, ask for users here to post for F$. Posts are the most important aspect of running a forum. If there are no posts then no one will show up and start posting. They need a boost to start them off.
Make your forum rules specific, and if necessary post them in each subforum.
That should help you a bit.
