Player Scores
The player scores have now been updated after week 25, unless there are changes to the game sheets prior to the week change on Tuesday night.
Top scorer this week is Otto Nieminen of the Nottingham Panthers who scored four goals and three assists for his 61 points. It is also a Panthers clean sweep of the top 3 positions with Jake Ryczek picking up 58 points and Didrik Henbrant with 57 points in third. Top goalie this week was Taran Kozun who shutout the Cardiff Devils last Wednesday to help him get to 54.5 points in the week.
In the overall scoring Matt Greenfield had his third average scoring week in a row, scoring just 14.1 points. However, Marcus Crawford was held scoreless for the first time since week 17 so Greenfield extends his lead at the top. Mitchell Balmas’ 55 points in the week brings him to within six points of Crawford

League Standings
Our top scorer this week was Adam Hawksley’s “No Regretzkys” who scored 396.1 points in the week which moves them up to 23rd overall. They did it by having solid scoring throughout the team with Colton Saucerman and Bode Wilde contributing on defence with 45 and 26 points respectively. Up front every player scored points with Mitchell Balmas (55 points), Ian McNulty (40 points as captain), Hugo Roy (39 points), Gary Haden (39 points) and Robert Lachowicz (35 points) all scoring at least 30.
In the overall standings it is extremely tight in our two way battle for the league trophy. Ben Millard’s “Brexit Hockey” remain in first but Karl Seed’s “Ulett The Dogs Out” closed the gap to just 5.2 points.
We also have our next monthly winner with the team who scored the most points from weeks 21-25 receiving a FHL UK puck. This time it is our FHL UK Shield finalist “Get Pucked” who are the highest scorers with 1863.3 points. Their opponents in the Shield competition “Bean Storm” are second with 1781.3, so they have both timed their run well to get through in the knockout stages.
Roster Moves
Sheffield’s Matt Greenfield is now up to 149 selections overall and is clear of Brady Norrish and his 101 selections. Marcus Crawford rounds out the top three with 85 selections.
Nottingham’s Hugo Roy is the most traded in player this week with an additional four selections to take him up to 41 overall. Two consecutive weeks of 39 points have made some of our GM’s take notice. His team mates Westin Michaud and Carl Neill have also been traded in by an additional two teams. On the other side it isn’t a surprise to see Kevin Lindskoug be traded away by three GM’s while he has left the Clan. Mitchell Martan has also been traded away by three GM’s as he has had four blank scoring weeks in the last five.
Upcoming Fixtures
We start this week off with the Challenge Cup final on Wednesday with the Steelers and Flames battling it out. Later on in the week we have two teams with a pair of home games. Belfast host the Flames (who play three times this week) on Friday and Saturday evening while Cardiff welcome Fife and Glasgow over the weekend.
Elsewhere Coventry travel to Manchester on Friday before having a visit from Sheffield on Sunday. The Steelers third game of the week is hosting rivals Nottingham on Saturday. The Panthers have two away games this week as they travel up to Dundee on Friday.
