The Sunday Night Wolfpac/Eastside game has been postponed due to snow. A date for the make-up game will be announced later.
Welcome back everyone, and Happy New Year to you all! It’s
time to work off that turkey and jump right back into league action as the
playoff drive begins. The remainder of the schedule is now posted, and there is
a key date to keep in mind…
Sunday, January 18th will be the annual NWBHL all-star game.
This is always an excellent event with some world-class talent that the league
has an opportunity to showcase. The team rosters will be revealed shortly along
with the details of how the game will be organized. Stay tuned for updates…
The league rosters will also be due on the 18th.
What this means is that your team’s final 25 man roster must be submitted
(Either with the names written on a game sheet, or emailed into the league),
and you must only use those players for the remainder of your season.
NWBHL Awards Ceremony - Spring 2008 12/13/2008
This week the league hosted it's biannual
awards event. As always this was a terrific celebration of the true talent in the NWBHL and a fun night out for those who were in attendance. We have compiled a little
video slideshow of the ceremony with a full listing of the winners at the end.
Game Of The Week
It’s back to action this week as the
Executioners and Black Aces start a home-and-home series that could be pivotal
in the race for second place in the division. The Executioners enter this
stretch with the narrowest of leads, a one point margin on the Aces. The two
teams split their earlier games in the season with the Executioners winning the
first in an easy 7-1 drubbing, while the Black Aces came back strong to earn a
measure of revenge in a 3-2 victory that was part of the Executioners’ tough 4
game slide. Waseem Khalil returned to form in the team’s last game prior to the
break picking up four points in the victory over the Snipers. He continues to
have a slight edge in the league scoring race over Hitmen phenom Sandeep
Khangura, but the Executioners will need some offensive support from other
players on the team as was the case at the beginning of the season. The Black
Aces have won their last two and got big performances from their trio of
Entourage players that combined for ten points versus the Stingrays. As always
around this time of year, it will be a case of who has better recovery time
from the break, and can shake off that rust faster.
