The early game between the Ice Dogs & Cattle Barons was even all the way through, but the Ice Dogs won it 5-4 in overtime. Chris Helps scored two goals for the Cattle Barons. The Player of the Game is Greg Bork of the Ice Dogs, who scored twice - including the overtime goal.

The middle game between the Stars & Flyers was the highest scoring game of the season so far. The Flyers eventually came away with a 10-6 win.

The Omegas beat the Hawks in the late game 5-2. The Omegas got off to a 2-0 lead by the end of the first period. Things were pretty even after that, but the Omegas scored an empty netter to seal the deal. Lance Ross & Fred VanReenen Jr. each scored twice for the Omegas. They will share the Player of the Game honours.

After all said and done, the top five teams are now separated by a mere two points. The rest of the season should be pretty exiting. Every game matters.

Its hard to believe, but we're already at the half-way point of our regular season.
Parody in our league may never have been as obvious as it is this season. Only four points separate the top five teams.
The Hawks currently sit in first place with 14 points. The Flyers are in second place with 13 points. The Cattle Barons & Ice Dogs are tied for third place with 12 points each. The Omegas sit in fifth with 10 points.
And then there's the Stars.
For the most part, they're losing close games, but keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the scoreboard. They're not out of it yet, but they've got their work cut out for them.

You might've noticed that I have stopped posting the penalty minutes on this website. This is because we were finding problems with players "taunting" other players that were nearing the 30 minute plateau in penalties. I wish that this wasn't the case, because it sure causes me a lot of extra work keeping each team rep informed of which of their team's players are nearing the 30 minute plateau.

Corey Moesker of the Stars reached the 30 minute plateau in penalties and will be suspended from playing in the game December 14.
