League Members and Friends –

As we end our 24th year as a league it is always great to announce we have 2 new champions in the league. While both teams have been there before in one case it has been 12 seasons since they had a cup to carry. My deepest congratulations to the Redwings and the Whalers, South Coastal League and Cup Champions.

The Whalers have 2 players who have been in the league for all 24 years and are members of the League Hall of Fame Mike Verocchi and Neil Gold.

As we take 14 weeks off our 25th season will start in August with games like the past few years.

You can expect a packet from us in a few weeks with all of the usual details-  If you have any questions we are always available-

Enjoy the summer… I am sure the Whalers and Redwings might have a better start to theirs.

Red Wings and Whalers Win It All

The Red Wings appeared that they were possibly going to miss the South Coastal Men's Hockey League Classics division playoffs for the third straight season. However, the Wings pulled out a 4-1 win in their next to last game of the season over the Rangers to qualify for the fourth and final playoff spot. The Red Wings, who had not won a playoff game since they won the championship game over the Rangers in Fall of 2006 season defeated the top-seeded Maple Leafs, 3-0 to qualify for the championship game against the Rangers.

Rangers and Red Wings face off

There was no question who the MVP was for the Whalers in their 5-1 win over the Fighting Saints for the Legends division title.

The Whalers goalie Dan Nason stopped 46 of the 47 shots the Saints fired at him to lead his team to the title, which was the team's third in their history. Nason was tough in the first six minutes as he stopped 14 shots.
