Player Scores
The player scores have now been updated after week 22, unless there are changes to the game sheets prior to the week change on Tuesday night.
Top scorer this week is now our overall top scorer as well. Matt Greenfield’s 63.4 points was mostly due to a shutout of the Flames of Wednesday, but another two wins in the week along with 84 saves also contributed towards the score. In second and third place we have two Cardiff defencemen, and neither is called Marcus Crawford. Cody Donaghey had a goal and three assists for 58 points in the week and Bode Wilde had five assists, including two on the powerplay, for 56 points. Our top scoring forward was Josh Nicholls who had two game winning goals amongst his three for the week and scored 50 points overall.
In the overall scoring Marcus Crawford only had 13 points this week, so he now loses his overall scoring lead and is now 43 points behind. We now have six Sheffield players in the top seven and only Sheffield and Cardiff players in the top 8.

League Standings
Our top scorer this week was Tom Bridges “For Crying out Dowd” who scored close to five hundred points with his 498.2. This takes them up to 8th position in the league standings. They had the top three scorers in the week with Greenfield, Donaghey and Wilde. Up front Josh Nicholls and Kobe Roth had over 40 points to compensate from captain Cole Sanford picking up just 38 points.
In the overall standings Karl Seed’s “Ulett The Dogs Out” briefly went to the top of the standings within the game week and finishes just 17 behind our long time leader “Brexit Hockey”.
Roster Moves
It’s all about defencemen this week as we have two new signings to the league. Xavier Pouliot has joined Dundee after playing in Wichita so far this season. With a 6ft 2″ frame and 86 penalty minutes he looks to be a solid stay at home defenceman, but 9 points in 41 games shows he can put up points given the opportunity. He is added in to the game at 5.0M.
Chase Hartje is our other new signing and he joins from the University of Manitoba where he was playing his fourth season. He has an excellent 0.66 point per game average in his time there so is added in to the game at 5.5M. The Glasgow Clan also signed former Fife defenceman Stephen Desrocher so he is moved teams with his 5.0M value.
Bode Wilde is our top traded player this week having been brought in by an extra six teams. His ownership is still only at 14 teams overall though. In terms of players traded away it is Jake Bolton who is top this week having been shipped out by six GM’s.
Upcoming Fixtures
This week we have a couple more fixtures than the usual two per team. We start the week on Wednesday with Glasgow hosting Guildford and Nottingham entertaining Cardiff.
