As you all know, the playoffs start this Friday at the Point Edward Arena. Keep in mind that we will be playing a bunch of times in the next little while on Saturdays as well. Make sure that you check the full playoff schedule under the "Schedule" tab of this website.
We will be playing "double headers" both this weekend and next weekend. This is a change that was made since the League meeting, so spread the word.

Corey Moesker of the Stars had a tough game against the Hawks on Saturday night.
First, he took a heavy spill into the end boards and hurt his ankle. He continued to play until he was ejected for receiving his third minor penalty of the game. At the same time, he also received a "10 minute" misconduct for his actions. This was the second game in which Corey was ejected for receiving three minor penalties in a game, so he is okay to play in the next game (which will be the first game of next season). The "10 minute" misconduct that he received was his first of the season, so again, he is okay to play in the first game of next season.

This update is for the games that were played on Saturday, March 5 at the RBC Centre.

In the early game the Stars' season ended on a sour note with a 7-2 loss to the Hawks. Greg Wierenga scored both goals for the Stars, while Dave VanOostveen scored two for the Hawks.

The middle game saw the Omegas beat the Flyers 6-4. Kalen Hellinga & Lance Ross each scored twice in the Omegas' win. Lance also got two assists and is this week's Player of the Week.

In the late game, the Cougars ended their season with a solid effort against the Crusaders, but lost the game 3-1. Adrian Roelands led the way for the Crusaders by scoring twice.

Jamie Feenstra of the Hawks was ejected from the game against the Cougars for receiving three minor penalties. This is the third time that this has occurred for Jamie this season, so he is suspended for two games. He will not play in the game against the Stars on Saturday, March 5, or the first game of the playoffs on Friday, March 11. He will be able to return to play in the second game of the playoffs on Saturday, March 12. If Jamie gets ejected once more for receiving three minor penalties in a game, then he will receive another two game suspension.

Matt DeBoer of the Crusaders was also ejected from his game against the Flyers. He also received three minor penalties in the game. This is the first time that this has occurred for Matt this season, so he is okay to play the next game.

This update is for the games that were played on Friday, February 25.

The Omegas showed the Stars why they are the number one seed going into the playoffs by winning the early game 6-0. Karsten Berg scored twice, while Kalen Hellinga got three goals & an assist. Seth Hellinga earned the shutout. Kalen & Seth are two of the three players that will share the honours of being Player of the Week. With this loss, the Stars were officially elimated from the playoffs.

In the middle game, the Hawks beat the Cougars by the score of 6-2. Kyle Huizinga got three goals & an assist in the win and is this week's third co-winner of the Player of the Week.

The late game saw the Flyers beat the Crusaders 5-4 in overtime. The Flyers were up 3-1 at the half-way point of the game which still gave hope to the Cougars' playoff chances. The Crusaders were able to come back thanks in part to two goals scored by Matt Tamminga and brought the game to overtime. The Flyers' victory came from Ryan Cross' second goal of the game. Darryl Poort also scored twice in the Flyers' win. The Crusaders were able to clinch the last remaining playoff spot with the single point that they earned for getting to overtime. In doing so, the Cougars were eliminated from the playoffs.
