The NAHL game at Wells Fargo was held on Saturday, March 24, 2007. It was a huge success and all participants had an awesome time. The Alien Hockey Team won the game 7-4 over Team Iowa Stars in a thrilling battle. Many people deserve a big thanks, so I apologize in advance if we forgot to mention someone.

Championship Games

The Championship game will be held on Tuesday, April 17 at 7:30 PM. The top 2 teams at the end of the regular season will battle for the "Trainer's Cup". In case of a tie, the winner of regular season head to head between the two will win. If still tied, then the team with the lowest goals against average will win. This came was provided at NO Charge courtesy of Brain at the Metro as a thanks for making the league a success.

Some have asked for a consolation game. I have "persuaded" Brian into staying late and allowing us the time immediately after the championship game to allow the 3rd & 4th place teams to battle. The cost will be $10 per person for this game to cover ice time. I ask that we make this a great turnout and show support to all 4 teams and the Metro by watching both games. The lounge will be open and I thought we could order pizza if players are interested and have this as our end of season bash.

New Spring / Summer Session Update

In the links column, you will find information on the next league sessions. Players will need to decide if they are doing "D" again, moving up to "C" or both. I will briefly recap what is happening in the next "D" session.

• We will attempt to field 6 teams & begin by planning it as 4 on 4
• The top 6 players (that are remaining in D league) in point standings will be captains
• Draft day will be April 21st at Metro Ice Sports Facilty (time TBD)
• Random lottery will determine order of picks.
• Players can pick ONE buddy to play with on same team
• Refundable $20 deposit will be added to league fee for jersey cost

The reason YOUR novice league has been successful is due to everyone promoting the sport. Encourage those you know who may want to play to try a Stick & Puck or clinic. We want to start getting registrations in as soon as possible to make sure we have enough to form the 6 teams. I am not concerned about the payment at this point, but please get the registration in quickly.

Hockey Clinic - Hockey 103

The Master Clinic Instructor & Alien Hockey have teamed up to have a Hockey 103 clinic. This clinic will be held over 3 days and concentrate on Hockey positioning & strategies. Some of the items that will be covered the first 2 days include:

• Proper locations for each position in both offensive & defensive zones
• Line change strategy & shift times
• Basic play strategy
• Goaltender instruction

The clinic will conclude with an actual game held on the 3rd day. Brian Wierson and Joe Bafia will choose teams and bench coach the two teams for the game implementing the strategies learned in real time. This is a must for those who want to improve their knowledge of the game and learn the team aspect of the game. At $45 for 4 1/4 hours of ice time, with great coaching & instruction, you can't beat it. Limited to first 28 players & 2 goalies.
