This week's early game saw the Hawks beat the Stars 7-2. For the second week in a row, the Hawks' line of Dave VanOostveen and the Huizinga boys had a great game. Kyle Huizinga got a goal and three assists. Jack Huizinga got two goals and an assist. For the second consecutive game, Dave VanOostveen scored a hat-trick. He also got two assists.

In the middle game, the Omegas got back to their winning ways by beating the Crusaders 7-3. Jeff VanderSlagt of the Omegas scored his first two goals of the season, including the game winner. Herb Zylstra Jr. got three assists; two of which were scored by his brother Matt.

If you're ever watching a Flyers' game, don't leave until it's over! For the second consecutive week, the Flyers broke the hearts of their opponents by scoring a big goal late in the game. The Cougars looked like they were in control of the game by getting out to an early lead. They were up 3-1 at the end of the first period and 6-3 early on in the third period. The Flyers poured it on in the third period and completed the come-back with a 8-7 victory.
This was a game with a bunch of stand-out performances from both teams. O.J. Deelstra of the Cougars scored twice and added two assists. Dave Vangorkum scored a great end-to-ender for the Cougars, and Derek Bouma did the same for the Flyers. This was one of the two goals that Derek scored along with his four assists. Kev Karelsen scored twice and added four assists, but the Player of the Week honours goes to his dad, Sid Karelsen, who scored a hat-trick, including the game winner with about a minute to go in third. He also got an assist on one of Kev's goals.

In this week's early game, the Crusaders beat the Cougars 9-3. It was a good point night for some of the Crusaders. Adrian Roelands scored twice and added two assists. Duncan Vanderwal scored a goal and got four assists. Steve DeBoer scored a goal and got two assists. Ryan Benjamins scored twice and got one assist. One of this week's co-winners of Player of the Week goes to Matt DeBoer who scored a hat-trick and added an assist.

The middle game was the first tied game in our league all season. Joel VanVeller of the Flyers scored the game tieing goal with 1:40 left in the third. Nobody was able to score in overtime, so the score ended up 2-2. Both Rick Jones of the Flyers and Risser Wierenga of the Stars each played great and kept their teams in the game.

The late game saw the Hawks upset the first place Omegas by beating them 5-2. Perrin Berg and Zack VanReenen each got a goal and assist for the Omegas, while Herb Zylstra Sr. assisted on both goals. Dave VanOostveen of the Hawks was the other co-winner of Player of the Week. He scored a hat-trick and got an assist, while Jack Huizinga got a goal and assisted on all three of Dave's goals.
With this victory, the Hawks have clinched a playoff spot and thus eliminated the Stars and Cougars from being in the playoffs.

It was brought to my attention on Friday night that I had not yet posted the stats for the January 22 game between the Flyers and Crusaders. They have now been posted. Sorry guys.

I have booked ice-times and we are all set for the playoff dates and times. You may want to check this out under the "Schedule" section.

I have made adjustments to all of the teams' rosters. Any player that has not played any games up to this point is no longer eligible to play any of the remaining games this season.
