Week 13, Injuries as far as the eye can see

Welcome to week 13 one and all. In week 12 we saw a large number of moves occur as managers fought to stay ahead of challengers and stem the rising tide of injuries.

Last weeks premier match up was between Puckin Great Ya'll and How You Laich Me Now. Despite Mac making several key moves through out the week to bolster his roster, it all came down to Saturday. How You Laich Me Now won on Saturday and Cody put an exclamation point on the match Sunday racking up an additional 17 points to beat Puckin' Great Ya'll by 22. This win puts How You Laich Me Now just one game out from the Dunlop Conference lead and extends HYLMN's win streak to 4.

No discussion of the Dunlop Conference would be complete though with talking about The Might V. In Week 12, The Mighty V faced off against Capital Punishment. The match up started off close with TMV and CP trading wins on a nightly basis. Capital Punishment built up momentum through Thursday, but The Mighty V brought out the big guns on Saturday to dominate the night 81 to 45. Saturday left Capital Punishment reeling and The Mighty V won 276 to 215, placing TMV in a tie for second of the Dunlop Conference with How You Laich Me Now.

The Richmond Prexies continue to be loss at sea with their GM in a coma. In a surprise to no one, week 12 saw The Fighting Hasselhoffs dominate the Richmond Prexies. This win keeps TFH just two games out of first place in the Conway Conference.

Filed under almost caught napping, the Kung Fu Lemurs were seen making a flurry of trades this week in an attempt to fend of a challenge by Laich a G6. After the KFL dominated the first game of the week, Liach a G6 roared back on Tuesday and Thursday with huge wins to keep the match within 12. Once the weekend started, the KFL's transactions kicked in allowing the Lemur's to win the match up and retain a two game lead over the Hoff's for leadership of the Conway Conference.

Never Go Full Kopitard, fresh off of their upset of the KFL, rolled over Team Moran in week 12. NGFK only dripped one game last week on the way to a 63 point win over Team Moran. While NGFK may be four games out of first in the Dunlop Conference, they are working hard to make sure they are not counted out.

Don't forget, this is a shortened week as the league shuts down from the 24th to the 26th.

The big news for Week 12 though was the new addition to the IHHL family. Derek’s wife gave birth to their lovely daughter, Zelda Lillian Heilmann, at about 2 am this morning. Amy and Zelda are doing well and we were able to secure an exclusive photo (so long as you look no where else) of Ms. Zelda.

Week 12 - Midweek update

In this League, we have our fun. We rib each other and exchange heated words over the course of weeks of play, but at the core of it all, we are all drawn here out of a sense of love and fun for the sport. It is this commonly shared passion that helps us all to connect and form relationships.

I’d like to take a moment here, step outside of my role as acting commissioner, and congratulate Derek on the launch of the IHHL web site: http://www.ihhl.net. I know that he labored long and hard on this and I think I speak for all of us when I say, we really appreciate the care and love he put into this project.

Oh and evidently Derek’s wife gave birth to their lovely daughter, Zelda Lillian Heilmann, at about 2 am this morning. Amy and Zelda are doing well and Derek has not been killed yet.

In other news, while looking through the Commsioner's desk, I found this: http://www.ihhl.net, which is something I totally did myself, and is in no way the result of Derek's work.
