WEEKLY UPDATE

It's all over, congratulations to Noel Properties (A) and Great Balls of Fire (B) for taking home the championships in their respective divisions.  To see their winning team photos before they are uploaded to the website check us out on Facebook and/or Instagram and don't forget to follow us!

On this final day of the season, we had both the A and B Semifinals and Finals to determine our season champs.  Out of the 6 games played, 4 were decided by a single goal with the A Final going to double overtime.  The playoffs brought plenty of chaos, comebacks, and goal-scoring madness. Noel Properties battled back from an early deficit to beat Alta Vista, while The Farm edged out the Jagaloons in a barn burner. Blackwater survived a late Jacking Lumber comeback attempt, and Great Balls of Fire outlasted Cross Bearers in a scoring frenzy. The finals delivered more fireworks, with Noel Properties winning an overtime thriller against The Farm and Great Balls of Fire staying hot to take down Blackwater. Big goals, tired goalies, and defense taking a well-earned vacation — a perfect playoff night.  Thanks to everyone for a great season, we hope you enjoyed the league and we will see you back on the floor for the Fall season.

RECAPS 

A SEMI - Noel Properties (3) vs Alta Vista Leaguers (2)

Alta Vista came out flying and built an early lead, but Noel Properties flipped the script in the second half. After weathering the early storm, Noel unleashed an offensive avalanche, erasing the deficit and skating away with a 9-6 victory. Alta Vista started hot, but Noel finished hotter—and that's the part that ends up on the scoreboard.

A SEMI - Jagaloons (5) vs The Farm (1)

The Farm came out flying with an early lead, but the Jagaloons refused to let the crops grow in peace. After trading a shorthanded goal for a power-play marker, the game turned into a barn burner, with both teams lighting the lamp. The Farm's late power-play surge proved to be the difference, as they harvested a hard-fought 7-6 victory, leaving the Jagaloons wondering if they should've brought a bigger tractor.

B SEMI – Blackwater (4) vs Jacking Lumber (1)

Blackwater came out firing and built a commanding lead, looking ready to put this one on ice before the water even got warm. Jacking Lumber finally woke up in the second half and mounted a furious late rally, scoring four times in the final two minutes to make things interesting. Unfortunately for JKL, the comeback train left the station just a little too late, and Blackwater skated away with a hard-earned 7-6 victory—proving that waiting until the final minute to panic isn't always the best strategy.

Cross Bearers and Great Balls of Fire turned the rink into a goal-scoring circus, with the scoreboard getting more exercise than the players. After trading goals early, Great Balls of Fire caught fire with a late first-period push, but Cross Bearers answered back with a furious comeback attempt. The game featured power-play drama, a flurry of late goals, and enough scoring to make the goalies question their life choices. In the end, it was a high-octane battle where the only thing missing was a scoreboard operator asking for a timeout
