LOUIS TROPHY WINNERS! LET'S GOOOO!!!! Now, let's just hope we don't screw things up in the playoffs...

Also, Steelman, while updating the wiki, I noticed you made a mistake with regards to the standings page - Abrieden finished with 111 points, placing them in fourth in the Rankin and Kavalos in fifth.

Steel doesn't make mistakes. ;)

After looking at the Google sheet, it appears the points were correct with 94, it was the rest of their standing that was wrongly inputted. Thanks for the heads up!

I think this may be the second or third time I have posted on someone else’s story line. But I do so enjoy logos, uniforms, colors, nicknames, maps and stories.
I was only a casual observer for the first little while after discovering this forum, and really didn’t follow many of the story lines until I checked out the Minnesota Amateur Hockey League and the Eastern Canada Hockey Organization during some downtime last year in the late-fall, early-winter. And now, fast forward to a year later and I’ve had time to dive into the Torland Hockey League. Wonderful stuff from all of you.
My thing is more baseball and women’s sports (I coached my daughter and developed a great respect for the female athlete) – I run my own simulation leagues in women’s softball, soccer and hockey, but being Canadian, hockey entered my consciousness at a very young age – I saw (on television) the Toronto Maple Leafs last Stanley Cup win in 1967. That will give you an idea of my age. There was a time when I said, “I’m not so much a hockey fan as I am a Vancouver Canucks fan.” Once the Canucks are done, so is the hockey season for me, unless a Canadian team is still alive in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
But last year hockey climbed back into my consciousness once again. I was offered a part time job as a sometime play-by-play announcer, sometime color analyst for a local junior hockey team. Something I’ve never done, but always wondered if I could, and I’m still enjoying it immensely. That has me interested in hockey again, and I’m glad that renewed interest has led me to the Torland Hockey League.
Steelman – thank you for doing this. I can’t imagine the time, effort and the hours spent having this work near the forefront of your everyday life. I salute you.
 
Favorite Current Logos – Vensessor Swans, Alko Barbarians, Alko Wizards, Waterdee Dragons.
 
Favorite Defunct Logos – Alko Barbarians (1988), Port Alrene Anchors (1960).
 
Favorite Current Uniforms – Chasonne Heralds and Vensessor Swans.
I consider colors, logo and uniform style. I’m very particular about what I like in a uniform, Chasonne and Vensessor tick most of the boxes for me.
 
Favorite Current Team Colors – Kavalos Electrics.
During the early years of the Torland Hockey League, I really didn’t have a favorite team, but when Kavalos came on board, I jumped on their bandwagon. I liked the name of the city, the team’s nickname and especially their colors. At one time my favorite real-life teams were Seattle Super Sonics, Oakland Athletics and Green Bay Packers, so that will tell you something about why I chose Kavalos. I’m not a fan of the Electrics’ logo, but as I said, I’m a Vancouver Canucks fan in real life and I have never liked any of their logos.
 
Favorite Current Team – Waterdee Dragons.
Well, maybe they are. They became my favorites without playing a game. Time will tell. But, like Kavalos Electrics before them, I love the name of the city, the team’s nickname and their colors. Who knows, my allegiance may return to Kavalos at some point.
