WEEKLY UPDATE
This week’s league slate can best be described as “defense is still warming up—please check back next week.” We had it all from a mercy to a shoot out. Things are still settling themselves but no lack of entertainment for all the fans.
REMINDER
- All players must complete the waiver at the top of the league page before stepping on the floor
- All players must apply the league provided velcro strip to the bottom of their blades. It must cover the entire blade and cannot be altered and must be changed weekly. Also, all team shirts must be the same colour (goalies excluded)
- The divisions are now set and the full regular season scheduled has been posted.
RECAPS
Redline vs Rag Tag Bunch
RL came out flying and never took the foot off the gas, piling up goals from all over the lineup while RTB struggled to keep the damage under control. Provencal even got on the scoresheet, which usually means the other team is having a very long night. By the final buzzer, RL had hit double digits and RTB was probably asking the score keeper for mercy.
RD – Behrooz Amoli (Shut out – 14SA)
RTB – Jeremy Illingworth (10GA/36SA)
Alta Vista Leaguers vs Noel Properties
AVL wasted absolutely no time setting the tone, scoring just 17 seconds in and never looking back. NP managed a pair of goals, but every time they showed signs of life, Alta answered right back. By the end, AVL had spread the scoring around like a team allergic to passing up scoring chances, while NP was left wondering if defense was optional that night.
AVL – Phil Laurence (2GA/26SA)
NP – Jude Roberge (3GA/50SA)
Great Balls of Fire vs Jacking Lumber
JKL jumped out early and never stopped filling the net, with Montpetit putting on a scoring clinic and apparently deciding assists were optional by the third period. GBF briefly made things interesting with a goal midway through, but JKL responded by scoring so often the scorekeeper probably needed a water break. By the end, Montpetit and Hardwick were everywhere, and GBF was left hoping the mercy rule existed somewhere in the rulebook.
GBF – Felix Bpucher (8GA/57SA)
JKL – Leo Maorino (1GA/28SA)
Care vs Cross Bearers
CB came out strong with two early goals and looked ready to cruise, but CA flipped the script in a hurry. Powered by a lethal power play and a pile of helpers from Abdulla, CA rattled off seven unanswered goals while CB’s defense slowly disappeared like free pizza at a hockey tournament. By the end, the special teams unit was cooking, Salter found the scoresheet twice, and CB was probably wishing the first period lasted forever.
CA – Mark Christopher (2GA/36SA)
CB – Gianmarco Pagani (7GA/42SA)
Blackwater vs Warriors
WAR struck first, but BW responded like they took that personally, ripping off three straight goals before the period was halfway done. Roberge did everything possible to drag WAR back into it with a hat trick plus, but BW’s offense kept answering every punch and then added two goals in the final two minutes just for extra emotional damage. By the end, BW had the win, Trepanier was handing out assists like party favors, and Roberge deserved a nice ice pack after carrying the WAR offense all night.
BW – Brett Ginn (5GA/51SA)
WAR – Al Villeneuve (11GA/60SA)
Kings vs Jagaloons
The first half was the Lesaux show with a hat trick to make it 5-1 at the buzzer. Both teams traded blows in the second, turning defense into a polite suggestion, until regulation couldn’t settle anything. In the shootout, KG finally put it away, with Ayoub playing the role of closer and sending everyone home.
KG – Dylan Leclair (7GA/23SA)
JAG – Andy Hoang (7GA/33SA)
The Farm vs Lumberjacks
This game was pure back-and-forth chaos from start to finish. LBJ came out firing early with quick strikes from Ward, Gray, and McGrath, while TF answered immediately with a wave led by Stephens and Murfitt, who seemed to be involved in everything except taking a break. From there it turned into nonstop trading blows—goals, assists, repeat—with even the goalie eventually joining the scoring sheet, which is usually the universal sign that defense has officially left the chat. Final result: a full-on track meet disguised as a hockey game, with both teams scoring at will and nobody particularly interested in slowing it down.
TF - Alex paquette (7GA/38SA)
LBJ - Tyler Bridgen (10GA/47SA)
