Some of you might have an early copy of the schedule (printed out on paper) that says the next game is "Nov.25". This is obviously a mistake. The next games will be this Friday, November 2.

The Ice Dogs have added Kevin Bouma to their roster.
The Cattle Barons have added Kevin Ryan to their roster.
The Hawks have added two new players. They are: Brian Solomon & Scott Solomon.
All of these players been approved to start playing as of this Friday (November 2).

This week is the deadline to add players to your rosters. If you want to add a player, please let me know ASAP so that they will be able to play this Friday. Any additions after November 1 will not be allowed to play until the first week in December.
So far the Cattle Barons are the only team to come forward with additions. The following players have been approved to play for the Cattle Barons starting this Friday (November 2):
Carson Tiede, Dan Candy, Jason Hotke, Chris Helps, Steve Anjema, & Ken Hartemink.

Dave Giffen of the Omegas was ejected from the early game against the Stars because of a "match penalty" with an intent to injure. He will not be allowed to play until the League has reviewed his case, but he will be suspended for a minimum of five games.

Doug Boelens of the Hawks was ejected from the late game against the Cattle Barons because he received three minor penalties. This was the first time that this has occurred for Doug this season, so he is okay to play in this Friday's game.

The early game between Omegas & Stars saw the Omegas skate away to a 4-1 victory. Once again the Stars found themselves in a game that was closer than the score would indicate. The teams went scoreless until half way through the second when the Omegas drew first blood. They followed up with two more goals by the half way point of the third. The Stars were finally able to score a powerplay goal in the third, but the Omegas spoiled the Stars' comeback with another goal in the last two minutes.

The Ice Dogs continued with their winning ways by beating the Flyers 6-4 in the middle game. The Ice Dogs looked like they were going to run away with it when they got off to a 3-1 lead at the end of the first and a 6-2 lead after the second. The Flyers made a game of it in the third when Matt VanMarum & Matt Kreeft each scored their second goals of the game. Both players also added an assist. Steve Capelle also had a three point game for the Flyers with three assists. Jordan DeBoer had a three point night for the IceDogs, but Joe DeBoer earns the honours of being one of the co-winners of the Player of the Week with his three goals and an assist.

I would have to say that this week's late game between the Hawks & Cattle Barons was probably the best game I've seen so far this season. It was entertaining all the way through with the scoring going back and forth. The Hawks came away with a narrow 5-4 victory thanks to Dave VanOostveen's second goal of the game. He also added an assist. Mike Melo had a three point game for the Cattle Barons, but the other co-winner of the Player of the Week is Jeremiah Winia who got a hat-trick in the Cattle Barons' loss.
