As all Scoha players get ready for dry February, last weekend's action was about as fast-paced as any fan could ask for.

Hey folks, writing this from a balmy -3 morning in Winnipeg where my Leafs getaway weekend is in full swing. Let's quit the small talk and get right to the action, though.U

Better late than never, family obligations, but we are still gonna recap last weekend’s SCOHA action whether you like it or not.

It's about time, folks. The unofficial 2nd half is underway and fans showed up in droves to see their SCOHA heroes in action. A bit of rust on the ol' twirlers, not gonna lie, but give it a few weeks, we will all be at full speed again.

So 4 points separate 1st and 4th in the United Division. While in the Masters loop, 7 points separate 3rd to last place.

I’m writing this right after the Leafs got thumped 9-3 so get ready. Interesting news coming out this past weekend as Guy Shaver set up a SCOHA Christmas Kettle in front of the orphanage and sang The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow all day to raise money. Guy’s fees are all paid up until the 26-27 season. Slicker than 2 steel wheels in a bucket of lard, lemme tell ya.

We lets kick things off by wishing Dale Brons best of luck as he enters the Great Christmas Light Championship. Feel bad when his neighbour realized their hydro bill is sky-high from Dale plugging into their backyard outlet…

Some light-hearted reading for a freezing-cold Wednesday night.All these ai-generated insights to everything in the world might very well take over my job as league blogologist one day but until then, you are stuck with this guy’s tales from the weeks that were.

Master’s Bruins Dale Brons sat in the penalty box so much over this past weekend, he actually tried ordering some pickle fries from the bar but Mary refused to deliver them. A first for SCOHA, ladies and gentlemen.

There were only 5 games this past weekend due to the Grey Cup. Others got to rest some bumps and bruises which isn’t a bad thing. Special thanks to the face of Swedish men’s hockey, Terry Hughes who joined us on the podcast last week to talk about the good ol’ days of SCOHA and some of the antics that some of the veterans carried out over the years.

BREAKING NEWS: The 2024 SCOHA Golf Tournament is nailed down for June 1, 2024 at King’s Forest. $185 gets you golf, cart, lunch and a damn good dinner along with prizes and copious amounts of laughs! More details to follow.

Also, the Old Fools Tournament returns April 19th and 20th (Fri/Sat) so start thinking about entering a team, always a fun time…

So let’s get right to the rumour swirling that SCOHA will play a few games in Japan next year as part of a Global Series to get more fans to follow SCOHA but league commissioner Terry Gudgeon quickly squashed those silly thoughts. “Not likely… ever.” Guess that’s why they call them rumours. Ever eat Chinese food then go to hockey? Never have, never will. That would sit in your stomach like a block of cheese the size of a car battery. At any rate, let’s peel the onion back from the week that was in Scohaville.

Another week in the books, folks. Some teams are already in playoff mode while others are struggling like the time a bottle of Italian salad dressing opened up in my laptop bag back in '89. United Flyers are just 1 point up on the Hawks as the two teams meet this Sunday, should be a good game, take the over 5.5 goals, that's the only Proline tip you are getting from me. Masters division sees 4 points separating 1st and 6th! Good greef.
