Minor Playoff Schedule Change
Not that anyone's final standings are set in stone to determine when and where you play in our playoffs yet, but I just wanted to bring to your attention a minor change I made in the playoff schedule.
In light of the recent apparent 'clampdown' on post-game refreshements at the Rutland Arena, I have switched what will end up being the 'B Finals' games to Winfield on Sun Feb 28th and moved the 1st Round of what will be the 'A' side that same night to Rutland. I had not taken this into consideration when I first was putting the Playoff schedule together.
I thought this was only fair in order to ensure that each team had the opportunity to have more time to BS about their season after what will end up being their final games of the season. As the 'A Finals' games are already at Winfield (Mar 1 & 3), this seemed like the right thing to do, and I know everyone will agree.
For those who may be new to our League, and as a refresher to everyone else, this is only the 2nd season the LCOHA has had 'Playoffs.' At the end of the regular season (upon completion of the games on Feb 21st), the top 4 teams become 'A' and the bottom 4 become 'B.' The 1st and 4th place in each division play as do the 2nd and 3rd. The winners of each game play each other for the 'A' and 'B' Final respectively, and the losers also play each other in the 'Consolation.' This way everyone gets the same amount of games.
Last season, the League was able to provide some small prizes to each player who played in the A and B Finals games (t-shirts, skate mats, ball caps, etc). I'm currently looking to see if the same can be done for this season or not.
Enjoy the Super Bowl on Sunday (no teams are playing, though 4 are playing on Saturday - see schedule if nececessary), and tell us who you think will win the Super Bowl by answering the new Poll Question!
