Playoff Picture

The Playoff Picture is pretty much set. There are only two spots left to be determined, and that is the #5 and #6 seeds. The Jags will get the #5 seed if they win over the Kings. The Sens will get the #5 seed if either the Jags lose, or the Sens win. Tonight the Kings take on the Jags, so if the Kings win tonight the playoff seeds will be set. Kings are without the two Kincaid brothers due to suspension, so who knows what will happen. Plus the weekday games always tend to hurt teams attendance.

The two playoff games that we know of for sure right now will feature the Bees and Bandits and then the Kings and Monkeys. Both of those games will be on November 7th following the Brahmas and Tulsa. Obviously the Kings and Bees are heavy favorites to move on to the semis. Last year we saw the Bees fall to a benchless Gators squad in what was a game for the ages. We shall see what happens. One thing we know for sure is that without Ryan Kelly in net, the Indians look to be beatable. So without their star goalie, they are probably not the front runner to win the Keg.

First Look at the Whalers

Saturday Night at 11:30 the Whalers and Silver Bullets will be squaring off in an exhibition. Bullets season is already over due to a forfeit from the Monkeys who are tied up with costume parties, candy, and grave robbing duties. So Nytex has extended an offer over to the Whalers to get them use to our rink.

Come check it out if you are not doing anything that late. Should be a good test for the Whalers, and great Uniform Battle.

Bronze League Records/Hall of Fame

I took a few minutes to comb over the record books today at lunch. League Lineup may not be the best website for a hockey league, and we all know that refs are famous for missing assists and what not. However, based on the past four seasons which are archived in league lineup I have compiled a list of all time records along with a little where are they now as to the record holders:

Most goals in a single season:
Mac Donovan (Senators)-25-Spring 09

Career goals:
Mac Donovan (Senators)-43

Career Assist:
Steve Meek (Stingers)-21

Most assists in a single season:
Kyle Saylor (Hurricanes)-13-Spring 09

Most points in a single season:
Mac Donovan (Senators)-37-Spring 09

Penalty Minutes in a single season:
Michael Hvidston (Arc Angels)-32-Spring 09


Goals Against Average:
Ryan Kelly (Hurricanes)-1.36-Spring 09



More Goalie records will be coming down the pipe shortly. Currently records for goalies are being shattered by Dana Felini of the Stingers who is on pace to set a single season save % record (.936 right now).

Mac Donovan is now playing with the Blazers in the Silver League. Hvidston is with the Kings in the Silver League and Bronze League, and next season will be only in the Silver League. Ryan Kelly is on the IR, Kyle Saylor is skating up with the Silver League Kings, and Steve Meek is with the Stingers and subbing in with the Blazers in the Silver League.

This is all just in case you ever wanted to know.

Most championships belongs to the Stingers with 3 or is it 4 someone correct me on that.

Week 9 Winners, Week 10 Winner (already), and Graduation Talk

The Indians fell to the Stingers who continue to remain undefeated this season. The Stingers in fact, dominated the Indians. Bronze League all star goalie Ryan Kelly is out the rest of the season due to a recent shoulder surgery (Get well Ryan!), and the Birdman, Kacy Bird, is stepping in for the time being. Looks like the bees were too much for the birdman to handle.

The Senators took the Bandits, however the Bandits did manage to beat their goal total for the entire season in this one game. Close battle 6-5 Sens.

The Jags handled business against the Silver Bullets, 6-2.

The Kings dismantled the Monkeys 7-1. And in other Monkeys news, the Monkeys have already declared their final regular season tilt a forfeit due to Halloween related activities. So the Monkeys and Bullets regular seasons are all wrapped up.

The Monkeys secured the #7 seed in the playoffs, and will be awaiting either the Kings or Indians in the first round. The Indians beat the Kings 1-0 in their only head to head match up, so in the event both teams win or both teams lose this weekend, the Indians will get the tie breaker.

The #3,4,5, and 6 seeds are still up in the air. The #3 seed with either be the Indians or Kings no matter how it shakes up. The Bullets are finished with a 5-5 record and ten points. The Sens play the bees, so if form holds true, the Sens will finish 4-6 with 8 points. The Jags face the Kings, and its anyones game. Kings will want to win, and the Jags are looking strong.

Who knows how things will end.

Now on to graduation talk. Several Bronze Leaguers have made the jump up to the Silver League which is a great sign that the Bronze League is actually developing players. Who else will make the jump up once the season is over?
