Springfield Wins!!!

August 21st, Springfield (Reuters)- It all came down to the final block of games, including a road game versus arch rival London.  The 'Peckers were up to the task, winning in London 5-3 to clinch the President's Trophy and home ice throughout the playoffs.  Springfield accumulated 120 points on the season, missing the record of 128 set last year by Chilliwack.  Paul Kariya of the London Whiskey Jacks captured the Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux trophies for leading the league in points and goals respectively.   The playoffs are now underway and it looks like the teams to beat are Springfield, Victoria, London and Wetaskiwin.  All four teams cracked the 100 point mark and finished the season strong.  It should be fun!!

June 20th, Kingston (CP)- One of the bigger shocks of the season to this point is Kingston Frontenac, Shawn McEachern leading the goal scoring race with 35 after 45 games.  Brendan Shanahan has fallen off the pace but Elias, Kariya, and Robitaille are all tied with 32 hot on Shawn's trail.  In the points race, Paul Kariya leads McEachern by 3.   

May 27th, Springfield (UP)- Its early still but the Springfield Woodpeckers have so far proved themselves to be the class of the CTMHL.  In the Campbell Conference it has been the Victoria Salsa and the Wetaskiwin Ice dueling for the number one position.  Kingston is proving worthy also in the Prince of Wales Conference.  Brendan Shanahan, of Oakhurst, leads all goal scorers with 22 trailed hotly by a pack of Bure, Palffy and Robitaille.  Paul Kariya of the Whiskey Jacks, leads in the points race with 43 with Bure, Robitaille and Pierre Turgeon, hot on his heels.
