The year was 2011. Charlie Sheen was 'winning' but really losing as he was kicked off of Two and a Half Men. The world was captivated by the Royal Wedding and Seal Team 6 found Osama Bin Laden. The Casey Anthony case dominated the news and the Shuttle Atlantis was the last of the 30-year shuttle program. Occupy Wall Street started in Zuccotti Park, Steve Jobs is mourned in the Silicon Valley and Lindsey Lohan was in legal trouble. The USWNT is upset by Japan in the World Cup in Germany. The Social Network and the King's Speech were a couple of the top movies. Adele was at the top of the charts with Rolling in the Deep, Katy Perry released Firework and Bruno Mars released Grenade. Parks and Rec and Breaking Bad were in full swing while we said goodbye to Friday Night Lights and saw the premiers of big hits such as Homeland and Game of Thrones.But the most important part of that year...the AltHL Season.
The 2011 Season!
This was a season in which the standings are a little out of whack. Look at the pure dominance of the CHL. Somehow all but one team are above 90 points, all four playoff teams are above 100, and the Arrows miss the playoffs with 98 points. They would have been the third seed in the AHA playoffs. But unfortunately for them that is not how it works.
The Chevs jump back into the playoffs and with the Gritty Cup. CHL stalwarts Toronto, Minnesota and Vancouver return for another title run. In the AHA we have a return of the Racers. The Rovers look to repeat, while LA and Seattle rep the West once again.
