The NORAD Post-Season is almost here. Your Captain/Sponsor should have already filled you in on what the post-season will look like this year, but for those who do not know, here it is…

After we finish up the regular season, we will go into a round-robin. There will be three groups of three and those groups will be…

Division 1 – #1 seed, #6 seed, #9 seed

Division 2 – #2 seed, #5 seed, #8 seed

Division 3 – #3 seed, #4 seed, #7 seed

We will take the winner of each division and a wild-card (decided by tie-breakers if necessary) into a final four. Teams will get 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 points for a loss. These are the round-robin tie breakers:

1. Head-to-head record.

2. Number of wins.

3. Goal differential.

4. Goals scored.

5. Goals against.

5. Least amount of penalty minutes.

7. Highest seed. 

Here are some reminders/rules…

If there is a two goal or less differential, the final two minutes will be stop-clock. 

Teams are not allowed to have sub skaters in the postseason and you only need 5 skaters and a goalie to play.

If there is a tie in the semi-finals or championship, we will run a 3:00 OT period. It will be 4 vs 4, then we will go into a SUDDEN DEATH shootout. 

The one thing that can derail this schedule is if CC hosts a playoff round (as they have the last two years) and the best of three series goes to game three which would be on a Sunday. In that event, everything will be pushed back by one week.

3/23 – 3 games (6vs9, 5vs8, 4vs7)

3/30 – 3 games (1vs9, 2vs8, 3vs7)

4/6 – 3 games (1vs6, 2vs5, 3vs4)

4/13 – 2 games (semi-finals)

4/20 – EASTER

4/27 – 1 game (championship)

As a festive reminder, there will be no games this Sunday, December 29th, as we take a break for the holiday season. We hope you enjoy this special time with family and friends and make the most of the celebrations.

We’ll see you back on the ice, refreshed and ready to go, on Sunday, January 5th, 2025.

Cheers to a wonderful holiday season!

It was a night of tight contests and nail-biting finishes last Sunday as every game delivered excitement.

The evening kicked off with a hard-fought battle as OS Offices edged out AMOS with a 7-4 victory. Next up, Nelson and Platinum found themselves evenly matched, skating to a 4-4 tie in a game full of back-and-forth action.

In another close encounter, Triple J managed to outlast Hollowbrook, securing a narrow 4-3 win. The night concluded with a high-energy showdown between OUTCAN and Ace, ending in an electrifying 5-5 tie.

Stay tuned for more thrilling action as the season heats up!

Sunday brought unexpected drama to the ice. In a heated, ejection-filled clash, Hollowbrook Dental prevailed with a 5-2 win over Nelson & Company.

World Orphans and OS Offices battled in a nail-biting, back-and-forth game, with World Orphans coming out on top 3-2. The night concluded with Platinum overpowering Ace 9-2 in an intense, high-energy matchup.

Last Sunday’s games brought plenty of drama and intensity. Platinum pulled off a thrilling come-from-behind win, edging Nelson 3-2. Hollowbrook narrowly escaped with a 5-4 victory over Triple J. OUTCAN rallied late to secure a 2-2 tie with Ace. The night, however, started on a sour note, as OS Offices were forced to forfeit to AMOS after an illegal use of subs derailed their matchup.

Last Sunday featured an exciting slate of matchups. The night kicked off with Triple J overpowering Platinum 6-3. Ace then fell to OS Offices 5-1 in a fun and competitive game. World Orphans kept the momentum going with a solid 4-2 win over AMOS. In the highest-scoring game of the night, Nelson outgunned OUTCAN 9-6 to close out the action.

With the upcoming games this Sunday, we’ll hit the one-third mark of what’s shaping up to be an exciting and competitive season!

With World Orphan’s shutout of Ace last Sunday, James Terry has officially joined Ian Ward as the only goalies to record shutouts this season.

The rest of the night delivered plenty of excitement. Triple J and OUTCAN battled to a hard-fought tie, marking a major victory for the struggling Out Laws. Hollowbrook handed Platinum a decisive 4-1 loss, leaving no team undefeated. The evening wrapped up with Offices taking down Nelson in an 8-5 showdown.

This season is heating up!
