WOW!  I don't think anybody ever pulled off a perfect season even in MAHL 1.0...but even so, Eveleth is still setting the pace for greatness as in that last one.

Already eagerly anticipating what's next as the clubs and leagues start to come together...

Chicago Cougars all the way!  I really hope they can find a way to thrive, especially in case the Blackhawks can't seem to get over that playoff hump. 

I hear a new minor league hockey team just started up in my hometown, but I don't think they're gonna last long (Who names a team after a refrigerator, anyway?)

Oooo...you gotta love it when the "e" word is dropped.

Any plans for an "expansion committee" where folks can create characters and do a ranked-choice vote on their top expansion choices?  (Be it for ECHO's expansion or the possible OEHL future expansion?)

Here's hoping Saint John can get their ducks in a row, and also that the Reds can avoid the Admirals' fate.

Boston Banshees (another name that ties into the city's strong Irish heritage)
Minnesota Miracles (name invokes the numerous natural wonders to be found in the state)
Montreal Olympiennes (honors the '76 Montreal Olympics and all the Canadian Olympic hockey players)
New York Colossus (honors Lady Liberty and the poem on her base, "The New Colossus")
Ottawa Geckos (honoring the lizards found in Little Ray's Nature Center...Gecko is spelled the same in English and French-a must for any Ottawa team)
Toronto Towers (an oft-proposed name for Toronto teams, this city enjoys its stature as the first Canadian city to embrace the modern era of women's pro hockey)

I LOVE seeing first-time playoff teams...excited to see what the Polars, Spiders & Rams do in their runs.

What's more, it's really neat to see Alexandria FINALLY win a division title after almost 40 years...this is why I've missed this league.
