Bylaw Review – see link to bylaws on this page

Page 5 Prizes Two Guzzler prizes, one for each Conference; Two Stanley Pint champs, one for each conference awarded custom Stanley Pints; GOALIE PRIZE! Finally – Two $50 Tallboy prizes, one each conference for most shutouts.

Roster Decisions:

We voted to allow defenseman, Shaun Adair (38) to skate with Scrap Dogs. He skates every Wed & Fri with me, so I know his ability and temperament, a good fit for our league.

We voted to allow a slightly underage girl, Taylor, to skate with The Mighty Drunks. Taylor has skated a lot with a weekly skate, a good fit for the league.

The Frozen Wings – 40 + and Scrap Dogs 40+ are still finalizing their rosters if you know of anyone wanting to skate.

Schedule / Crossover

We are not doing the inter-conference games this season since we have six each. (No old guys vs young guys games) What we will do instead, thanks to Jeff, is run a schedule of five games then schedule 1 vs 2, 3 vs 4 and 5 vs 6 in each conference. That way the points can be earned against your next best competitor, then repeat. Each team will still play each in its own conference four times.

Finance

Payments are collected through Hockey Community. Get your guys on the app, team managers can add to their roster, or have them go to www.gears.beer/ehl and I’ll add them to your team.

The first deadline is $625 by 9/15

Received so far. 
BC Heating – $700
C & C Motors – $500
Hartwig Tree – $400
Chicken Shack – $0
State Farm – $100
The Mighty Drunks – $0
Frozen Wings – $300
Gooners Dogs-$300
Leather Necks- $400
Old Fokkers-$700
Prestige Worldwide-$800
Scrap Dogs-$100

Let me know if there are Registration payments that have not been credited to the player. There was an issue with the process of initial registration.

I think that is it. Thanks again for playing! I’m looking forward to another fun season.

EHL Drop In Skates
We will continue to skate Wed & Fri 7:30 – 9 pm through May. All drop in ice time is managed with the Gears Beer Hockey app. There will be some openings on Fridays that we have not seen lately. We are running two sheets. Jeff Rouse is organizing a sheet for his Alumni Tournament prep. June through mid-August we will drop Friday and keep Wednesday going. The rink has a drop in hockey app now also, search CFH Hockey in your favorite app store, of visit Perfect Skate.

EHL 2018/19 Season

The final conference games were held on Sunday and the conference champs have been decided. Passions ran high during the day and there was some extra drama and ref penalty calculation time that we don’t normally see. Overall a great season. This is hockey and shit happens.

Game Wrapups

The first game was Bullfrogs vs Scrap Dogs. Bullfrogs went hot and cold all season. Scrap Dogs came on strong after a slow start. For the loser bracket game, it should just be for fun. Scrap Dogs had thirteen skaters and Bullfrogs had six. Your commissioner was one of the six. Bullfrogs scored first and Scrap Dogs tied it up a while later. With a few minutes left in the game tempers flared and two players were asked to leave. The game was decided in OT. Bullfrogs won in a shootout. All that for third place:)
