IHHL: Week 17 - Rock You Like a Hurricane


The matches of week 16 tell a story of bloodshed, horror, and blowouts. The closest game of the week was decided by nearly 50 points. In a late Friday night move designed to avoid press scrutiny, Commissioner Heilmann announced that the IHHL teams will be undergoing a name change starting in the 2014/2015 season. The IHHL has released the following name changes:.
  • The Fighting Hasselhoffs will become the Milwaukee Monarchs
  • The Mighty V will be known as the Boston Benders
  • Puckin’ Great Ya’ll are changing their names to the Washington Winter Warriors
  • The Kung Fu Lemurs will be known as the Barrel riders of Buffalo
  • Never Go Full Kopitard are changing their name to the Saskatoon Sasquatches
  • Capital Punishment will be changing to the Cleveland Blackjacks 
  • How You Laich Me Now will be changing to the Denver Demon Donkeys (DDD)
  • Laich a G6 will be changing to the Seattle Wolves (SW) 
The premier match-up of the week was between the Boston Benders and the Milwaukee Monarchs. The BB’s have been on a tear, dominating the match-ups over the previous two weeks with the closest game being decided by 40 points. After dropping a key match-up against the Barrel riders of Buffalo in the last week of December, the Monarchs have been on a winning streak, closing to within one game to take the lead in the Dunlop Conference. Sadly, the Monarchs dreams of moving up were soundly crushed by the BB’s in what ended up being the biggest blowout of the week and the season. Final score: Milwaukee Monarchs (10 and 6) - 209.9 to Boston Benders (12 and 4) - 332.

The Cleveland Blackjacks hosted How You Laich Me Now this past week. Going into week 16, the Blackjacks were looking to stop a two game slide while How You Laich Me Now focused on keeping up the pressure on the Washington White Walkers. For the Blackjacks, the week went from bad to worse with How You Laich Me Now pulling ahead by 30+ points in the first two days. Final Score: Cleveland Blackjacks (3 and 13) - 193.3 to How You Laich Me Now (12 and 4) - 278.6.

The Washington Winter Warriors (W3) faced off against Laich a G6 in week 16. W3, looking to pad their lead in the Dunlop Conference, launched into G6 early and hard. While G6 rallied back several times later in the week, they were never able to overcome the early lead that W3 established. Final Score: Laich a G6 (5 and 11) - 215.6 to Washington Winter Warriors (14 and 2) - 269.3.

The Richmond Prexies, still looking for their first win of the season, hosted the Saskatoon Sasquatches this past week. Despite strong performances Zetterberg and Karlsson, the Prexies failed to stop the Sasquatches from walking all over them. Final Score: Richmond Prexies (0 and 16) - 123.5 to Saskatoon Sasquatches (9 and 7) - 232.3.

Team Moran hosted the Barrel riders of Buffalo in week 16, with Team Moran looking to take advantage of BrB who was still reeling from last weeks loss to How You Laich Me Now. BrB, stinging from the previous week defeat and looking to fend off the Monarchs, started the match up strong by gaining a 25 point lead over Team Moran in the first night. The end of the week saw BrB resting key players in anticipation of a tough match-up in week 17 against the Boston Benders, resulting in the closest game of the week. Final Score: Team Moran (3 and 13) - 237.3 to Barrel riders of Buffalo (12 and 4) - 286.5.
