Re: Yorkland Hockey League

2003 Off-Season: The State of the YHL



The league owners held a press conference to announce that the Yorkland government has officially decided not to fund the league moving forward, beginning with the 2004 season. The owners have made it clear that they will not be folding the league and that the success of the league will be determined by the fans continuing to support the league.

With the announcement that the owners are not fully controlling the league, it marks the death of the short lived YJDHL. All of the teams who joined the league are free to join any other amateur league they should choose. While there has been talk of the YHL funding the league again in the future, that is not something in the cards at the moment.

The 2004 season will see the league switch uniform manufacturers as they no longer need to use government facilities. The hope is that the re-designs and new jerseys will lead to new revenue for the league which will be key.

In response to future expansion, the owners made it clear that it will be determined by the support the league receives moving forward. If the league is strong, there is always potential for expansion but that is again something not in the cards at the moment.

The league will be adding outdoor games in 2004 as another revenue stream and will try it out with 1 to begin, Bentley hosting Brooklynn, to deem the future of those games too.

While the league is in a tough spot, the owners are confident that the league will flourish and the fans will get the best game that the league has ever produced.

Re: Yorkland Hockey League

2003 Regular Season

The season opened for the third year in a row in South Beach, as the Seminoles raised their third straight banner:


Despite the success, it was the Kelly City Lakers who ran the Little Divison, putting up 156 points to win the division and the Prime Minister’s Trophy. The Seminoles finished second, qualifying for the playoffs again and looking for their 4th straight Pacino Cup.

In the Wood Division, Cayuga lead the way with 134 points, just finishing ahead of the Bayleigh Peach Kings by a single point. Central Valley and Walker City both had awful years again and are both looking to hit the reset button, trying to get themselves into the playoffs.


In the Keen Division, Dawn Mills ran away with first place putting up 130 points, finishing 15 points ahead of 2nd place Fort Theory. Crystal Beach and Montane finished 3rd and 4th and both had extremely disappointing years.

In the Nevin Division, the Anchor City Sharks will have home ice in the playoffs, winning the division over the Bentley Stars who make the playoffs for the 12th straight season. The Stars haven’t missed the playoffs since 1991, but they also haven’t been to the finals since they won it last in 1996.


The opening round of the playoffs will be:
Dawn Mills Devil Rays vs. Bentley Stars
Anchor City Sharks vs. Brooklynn Blackhawks

Kelly City Lakers vs. South Beach Seminoles
Cayuga Saints vs. Bayleigh Peach Kings.

Up next:
Opening round of the 2003 Pacino Cup Playoffs.

Re: Yorkland Hockey League

Man, the Lions definitely struggle. What do they need to do to get better?

Lake Hope really had some bad luck this season. Talent wise, they were in the top 3rd of the league but they never managed to put it together unfortunately. Their defense struggled at times and their goaltending let them down. By the numbers, they should have been pushing for a playoff spot and it just didn't come together.

Re: Yorkland Hockey League

2003 Pacino Cup Playoffs



Western Conference Semi-Finals
Dawn Mills Devil Rays vs. Bentley Stars
- Despite being up 3 games to 1, the Stars fail in the opening round yet again, losing 3 straight and losing in 7 to the Devil Rays. Bentley struggled hard in the final 3 games of the series, only managing to put up 2 goals in the 3 elimination games. 

Western Conference Semi-Finals
Anchor City Sharks vs. Brooklynn Blackhawks

- After losing the first game on the road, the Blackhawks fired back with 3 straight wins and a stranglehold in the series. Anchor City managed to fend off elimination at home, but would ultimately fall on the road as the Blackhawks upset the Sharks and head to the conference finals for the 2nd time in 3 years.

Eastern Conference Semi-Finals
Kelly City Lakers vs. South Beach Seminoles

- The dynasty comes to an end! After stealing Game 1, the Lakers proved why they were the best team in the regular season and rallied off 4 straight wins, holding Southbeach to 1 goal in 3 straight games to clinch the series in 5. South Beach fails to win four straight, but what an incredible run. 

Eastern Conference Semi-Finals
Cayuga Saints vs. Bayleigh Peach Kings

- The Peach Kings take Game 1 on the road before being trounced by the Saints in the next 4 games to close out the series in 5. The Saints were just a goal scoring machine in the series, putting up 27 goals in 5 games.

Re: Yorkland Hockey League

2003 Western Conference Finals
Dawn Mills Devil Rays vs. Brooklynn Blackhawks
- The Rays look for back to back finals appearances but run into a red hot Blackhawks team who found their offense. The Hawks put up 6 in 4 straight games to eliminate the Rays. Brooklynn will be looking for their first even Pacino Cup in their second chance.

2003 Eastern Conference Finals
Kelly City Lakers vs. Cayuga Saints
- After taking out the 3x defending champions, the Lakers found themselves down 3-1 and in big trouble heading home for Game 5 where they dug in and put on a defensive clinic. The Lakers would win Games 5 and 6 and then steal the series in Game 7 with a 6-5 win to head to the finals. The Lakers look for their first title in their first ever final!

2003 Pacino Cup Finals
Kelly City Lakers vs. Brooklynn Blackhawks - One team will win their first title!
