A huge Thank you goes out to everyone who helped make Hockey-Life.ca what it is today, you're all a buncha beauties. A special thanks goes out to the hard work Radek always does for us. Making all those mugs look good isn't that easy. Shawn Herman and Nathan Moniz have also stepped up to take on extra work as we grow so make sure to show all these guys your appreciation.
The Summer flew by and we are now on the cusp of starting our First 4 team league season next Week, October 02 2012.
PLAYERS: Please remember to contact your assigned Captains if you cannot make your games.
Jordie Margison took home yet another W, capping his Tuesday nights off with 13 Wins in 23 Games played. He also led all tenders in Goals Against Average registering a 5.61 GAA. Matt Lunnen came a close second with 5.90. Most importantly we did not have a single game this season where no goalies showed up, Congratulations and keep up the great play!
Our Goal scoring race ended in a tie!. Two familiar names tied at 40 goals apiece. Ryan Wigle potted 40 goals in just 20 games, while Chris "#2 overall draft pick" Alpaugh sniped 40 goals in 23 games.
Rob DeVries tied for the Assists lead this past Winter and has now stepped up to claim the playmaking throne for Tuesday with a league leading 45 Assists in 23 games. Chris Alpaugh came in second with a final count of 37 Apples.
Alpaugh, proving that he is more than worthy of his 2nd overall pick for this year's Winter season has his name all over the stats sheets. He took home the Scoring title with most overall points - 77 points in 23 games to be exact. Goals (40), Wins (16), Points Per Game (3.35) and Win % (69.6).... This guy is a machine!
Another little note to pass along. We have officially changed the name of the Phil Kessel award. Historically this would be handed out to the last player to officially bulge the onion bag. This year we actually have two players that did not register a single goal all summer long on Tuesday night. It's hard to imagine that Ryan Brown and Adrian Kwasek did not get a single "G" marked down beside their name on the board.
... sooooo the two of them will actually share the award this season but from this day forward it will be referred to as the Kwasek award. Now go out next week and be the first one to score Adrian, you're a real Gem!
Guys... we have made some real noise in London this season. We are slowly making a name for Hockey-Life.ca and this could not be done without all of you. Keep spreading the good word and always welcome the new players to our Family. Things will change a little bit this Winter with the set teams, so we all need to make sure that we keep the foundation of this league strong. Good sportsmanship, Quick Shifts and glorious Cele's.
We'll see some of you on Thursday night.. and the rest next Tuesday for Game 1! ... if you didn't sign up in time to be a part of the Winter season please register as a spare, we always need them. Also keep your eyes and ears open as we are always getting more ice.
Cheers from the Hockey-life.ca Crew
