On this final Sunday, we had the A1 Semifinals as well as the A1, A2, B1 and B2 Finals to determine our division champs. The games did not disappoint one bit as we had some epic battles with 4 out of the 6 games being decided by a single goal with Finals needing sudden death overtime to decide a winner. Going by seeding, 2 out of the 6 games were upsets with both coming in the B division.

Thanks to everyone that helped make this season possible. We hope you enjoyed the league and see you back on the floor this summer.
