Week 16: The standings, they are a'changin'


Welcome to week 16. We have two weeks left until the Olympic break. Just because we will be taking a respite to watch the winter games though, does not mean that you should stop checking back here. Management has a treat lined up for the GMs so be sure to check back here, or follow along at the official news source of the Icehouse Hockey League, news.ihhl.net.


The closest matchup of the week went to How You Laich Me Now (LAIC) versus the Kung Fu Lemurs (KFL). In a week that saw nearly 16 trades and moves of players, half of those were done by LAIC and KFL. LAIC came out strong on Monday, seizing a sixteen point lead, only to see that lead evaporate on Tuesday as the KFL rallied back took the next two nights. By Saturday morning, LAIC held a 40 point lead over the KFL that disappeared by the end of the night as the KFL outscored the LAIC by 42 points. In the end though, it all came down to players on the ice. LAIC held a four player advantage on Sunday, which lead to a final score for the week of: LAIC (11 and 4) 274.6 to KFL (11 and 4) 256.


Puckin’ Great Ya’ll (PUCK) continued their winning ways this week by dominating Capital Punishment (CP). PUCK came out strong establishing a 30+ point lead in the first two games and never looked back. A rally by CP on Sunday proved to be too little too late in what ultimately proved to be the biggest blowout of the week. The final score was: PUCK (13 and 2) 275.7 to CP (3 and 12) 186.1.


The IHHL’s very own soap opera story that is The Richmond Prexies (RIC) continued this week. with a flash of hope that, ultimately proved to be futile. This week RIC faced off against The Might V (TMV) in what started out as a close match up. After tying on Monday, TMV won Tuesday by 15 and eked out a two point win on Wednesday. Sadly, that was as closest that RIC got winning last week. It is looking more and more like RICs chances of pulling out a win this season, much likes Dom’s chances of coming out the coma, are non-existent. Final score TMV (11 and 4): 223 to RIC (0 and 15) 143.4.


Never Go Full Kopitard (NGFK) pulled off a solid win against Laich a G6 (G6) last week. After struggling on Monday and Wednesday, losing by a combined total of 30 points over three days, NGFK put together a string of high point nights to ultimately win for the week, despite dropping Sunday’s game by 17 points. Final score, NGFK (8 and 7) 201.9 to G6 (5 and 10) 178.7.


Team Moran (MORA) sought to prove that there were still a force to be reckoned with in the match up against The Fighting Hasselhoffs (HOFF) last week. MORA came out strong and by Friday night, MORA held a five point lead over the HOFFs. Saturday and Sunday saw the HOFFs push back hard with big scoring nights leading to the final score of: MORA (3 and 12) 225.8 to HOFF (10 and 5) 255.5.
