Good afternoon SSBHL Players and capts!

We have done it! The regular season is officially completed, and we are moving onto the Playoffs! 

Congratulations to the teams moving ahead into the playoffs, Stone Hands, Bald Beavers, Smokey Joes, and The Spiders. Your hard work and effort throughout the regular season has been rewarded with the opportunity to bring home the cup! 

Good effort from the Pineapple gang and the Hooligans! I know it's disappointing to come up short but Next season is right around the corner and a brand new opportunity isn't far in the distance! keep your heads up and held high, and prepare for the next season for your new teams and everything :) 

With all that said, Let’s get into the details and final numbers of the regular season!

Offensive elation!

1st) Joe MacKenzie Takes 1st place this week with a massive performance! acquiring 5 goals and 1 assist, netting a grand total of 6 points, His highest points game the entire year! Saved the best for last lol. Great work man and overall incredible season! You were a points gaining machine!

2nd) Brendan MacKenzie was a monster on Sunday. He did EVERYTHING he could to try and push his team into the playoffs. He scored 4 goals, got 1 assist, was running around forechecking, blocking shots, coaching the team, etc. They came up just short by 1 goal... but my god this guy did everything he could and was the embodiment of leadership, pure effort, and heart. A massive effort B-mac! Great job and fantastic season overall!

3rd) Steve Wilde Was the x-factor in this last game vs. joes! Getting 2 goals and 2 assists with 4 points total! His leadership this season propelled his team into the perfect season at 10-0! Steve was a big part of the wins with 3 shootout wins his team had, Steve got the game winning goal in 2 of them. Congratulations Steve on a perfect season and your teams success! Golden work!

Drop Dead Defense!

1st) Gianni Finished the season Strong as hell with blocked shots all day, breaking up deadly opportunities from the opposition, and contributed big time to the scoring by getting 3 assists! Way to finish strong G! A true leader on his team and it showed Sunday!

2nd) Patrick Schultz was a large factor to his teams win this week! The hustle and effort put forth was massive and played big into his team’s victory this game with 1 goal and 2 assists!  No chance does Stone Hands go undefeated without this guy! Patty, Great season overall, amazing Defense all year round!

3rd) Nick Buckley Had a great effort in Sundays game and did his best to try and get the win! He blocked shots, shut down some big offensive chances, and scored 1 goal and got 1 assist! Honestly this was a good season for Buck overall who had his most points in a season so far. Great work Buckley! 

Grand Goaltending!

1st) Jake Deehan Returned to action this Sunday and once again claimed another win and a strong performance! facing 29 shots, stopped 26 of them, keeping a solid .897% with 3GAA. Great work Jake!

2nd) Nick Bonofiglio Concluded the season in Perfect Fashion and is the 1st goalie in SSBHL history to have all 10 games attended with a perfect 10-0 record! Nick finished the season this game with a .870%, facing 46 shots and stopping 40. Nick Also played in 3 shootouts this season and didn't lose in 1! This guy was the picture of perfection in the regular season and looks to keep it going in the playoffs! Truly an amazing season Nick! 

3rd) Dan Harding Finished his seasons last game with a .864%, facing 44 shots on net and stopping 38 of them. Played all 10 games and finished with a 5-5 record. Not bad, not great, but will look to redeem himself in the playoffs.
