Let’s pump this event and get our biggest crowd yet! (which is more then 56 people)

We are entering the second half of the season where Teams start their rally towards the WNHL League Championship on April 8th at the Meridian Centre. The WNHL League Championship is in replace of the WNHL All-Star Game because of the sheer numbers we now have involved in the WNHL. I also believe it will be a great end of the season party before we go to basic pick-up from mid-April to the end of June 2017.

To determine who will be playing for what at the WNHL League Championship the GM’s and myself decided on a Round-Robin Format in the last 6 weeks of the season. The top two teams from the Round Robin will face off in the Championship Game at the Meridian for the a winner take all and the two lower teams will battle out for “don’t be last place” game before the Championship Game.

Rules of the Round Robin

Keep Saturday April 8th 2016 open for the WNHL League Championship this will have a lot of the same features of the WNHL All-Star Game including cheap beers, food, fans and raising money for the Community Care Organization in St.Catharines. First Game will be at 7pm and the championship game will be at 8pm. Both games will be 3 13 minute Periods with stop time for the last two minutes of each period. More exciting details to follow in the next month!

It has been great watching everyone battling with their teams in the WNHL.
