Ahhhhhh yes, its been a busy few days for the Angel of Death. Funerals, visits to the emergency room and all sorts of oxygen deliveries.
The NA3HL South. A poorly timed attempt to expand the NA3HL brand that was in the end let down by the NA3HL itself. Thats right hockey fans, instead of trading players to the McKinney Warriors, players were traded outside of the league in some instances, and in others they were just released. Not too smart when all NA3HL franchise values depend on success. But hey, who are we to be critical? Oh yeah, sorry folks, forgot one key thing, we are the fans that follow the players and the game. Yep, nothing to see here kids, keep moving on.
Hey kids our good friends in the GMHL, yep the Canadian league that thinks it’s a legitimate junior hockey league. Well, it turns out that at least one team is about to experience mass defections to USA Hockey teams. Yes, I know, it really is shocking isn’t it? I mean really, who could be upset when nearly half the teams in the league can not get above the .500 mark? No one cares that half the teams are putting up double digits on the other half do they? Nahhhhhhh couldn’t be.
In other news hockey fans, a couple of teams have been taken off of life support. They may only be temporary life saving measures, but hey, temporarily breathing is still breathing.
The New Mexico Renegades continued their winning ways. HA HA HA Yeah I know, it wasnt that funny. But hey seriously folks, after getting out scored 42 to ZERO in their first 4 games they were able to come up with a goal in a great 7 to 1 loss on Saturday night. With 16 skaters on the roster now, they are being taken off of life support temporarily. How long the kids will continue to play for the Renegades and keep them alive is up for debate after the Renegades followed the one goal effort up with a solid no goal effort while reaching a perfect 0 and 6 record. Zero to eight, definitely something to build on. Keep filling those rosters kids. If only the WSHL had fantasy hockey!
Well, I took a quick trip to the Eastern United States, and ooooooohhhh brother, there be some teams in need of some help. Looking to see some player defections this week from some of the self proclaimed “top Tier III” prgarms in the country. Yep, you sure do the best for the kids. Hey kids, how were those van rides this weekend? More on that next week.
Well, its a short week here for Death. Got a lot to do, and a lot to see. But hey, if I dont run into you, its probably a good thing right? Ohhhhh yeah before I forget……for all those teams trying to cheat the import player rules in AAU and Usa Hockey by simply making things up……..we’ll be talking about you next week.
