In his game this past Friday (December 8th), Jake Huizinga of the Cattle Barons was ejected from the game for receiving three minor penalties. This was the second time this season that this occurred for Jake. He is okay to continue to play his next games, but if this occurs a third time for Jake this season, then he will be suspended for two games.

Ejections

This past Friday (November 10th) Aaron Boelens of the Ice Dogs received three minors. This was the first time that this has occurred for Aaron this season, so he will be okay to play again this coming week Friday.

I realize now that I failed to post that on October 13th Greg Wierenga (Albinos) & Jake Huizinga (Cattle Barons) each received three minors in the game. This was the first time that this has occurred for both of these players this season, so they were both okay to play in their next games.

We had an incident in the game on October 27th between the Flyers and Ice Dogs. Matt Kreeft and Devon DeBoer were both given a "major" penalty for fighting and were ejected from the game. They have been suspended for two games each.

Since the Flyers are sitting out on November 10th, Matt Kreeft will not be eligible to return to play until December 1st.
Devon DeBoer will be eligible to return to play again on November 24th.

Season Starts in Mooretown on Friday, September 29th

Hello Everyone! Welcome to the start of the 2017-18 season.

We will start our season on Friday, September 29th in Mooretown.
I received a call from the Point Edward Arena staff. They were having trouble putting in the ice and told me that the arena would not be ready for us to use for the 29th. The schedule was already made and I did not want to mess everyone up by having to re-do the whole thing, so I was able to rent the ice at the Mooretown Sports Complex for the games on the 29th instead. Sorry if this messes anyone up, but please understand that this was the best solution that I had on short notice.

To make it clear for everyone, here is the schedule for the games on Friday, September 29, 2017:

9:00pm @ Mooretown Sports Complex (Rink 2) - Albinos vs. Ice Dogs
10:00pm @ Mooretown Sports Complex (Rink 1) - Omegas vs. Cattle Barons
10:15pm @ Mooretown Sports Complex (Rink 2) - Flyers vs. Stars

If anyone does not know where the Mooretown Arena is, or if you need directions, you can find it under the "Rink Locations" section of this website.

We will back in the Point Edward Arena starting on Friday (October 6th). The Point Edward Arena staff have assured me that the arena will be ready for us to use by that time.

Finals - Game 2

Posted Fri Mar 24, 2017 - 06:42 PM

Well folks - In case you haven't already heard - she's all over. Congratulations goes out to the Hawks who are the 2016-17 League Champions! They swept the finals series against the top seeded Omegas.

Since I dubbed Game 1 of this series as "a great playoff hockey game", then I would have to say that Game 2 should be considered as "a classic playoff hockey game".

The Omegas came flying out the gates in Game 2, and held a 2-0 lead after the first period on goals by Karsten Berg & Luke VanReenen.
Mid-way through the second period, Dave Vanoostveen scored for the Hawks to cut the lead in half. However, this thrill was short lived, because one minute later Luke VanReenen scored his second tally of the game to extend the Omegas' lead to 3-1.
The score stayed this way until the mid-point of the third period. That's when Calvin Pelleboer scored for the Hawks to make the score 3-2 in favour of the Omegas. Three minutes later, the Hawks completed the comeback with a beauty short-handed goal by Dave Vanoostveen.
At this point, the goalies put on a clinic. One "old-school" save by Kyle Scott (filling in as the Omegas' goalie) was probably one of the best big-moment saves that I've seen in a while.
Fittingly, this game went to a sudden-death 10 minute overtime, where each team had chances, but were not able to finish it off. This meant that we needed to solve the game in a best-of-five shoot-out.

The Hawks were the "home team" for this particular game, and they chose to shoot second in the shootout. Here is how the shoot-out transpired:
Round 1: The goaltenders stood tall and made saves on both teams' first shooters.
Round 2: The Omegas took the lead in the second round with a goal by Karsten Berg.
Round 3: The Hawks tied it up again with a goal by Derek Barneveld.
Round 4: Dan Feenstra scored for the Hawks to take a 2-1 lead in the shootout.
Round 5: Mike Ward made the save on the Omegas' fifth shooter to clinch the win, the series, and the Championship.

Like I said earlier - A CLASSIC!
