That does it. It is Saturday April 10 and all of our teams are finished for the season. Bantam BB wrapped up today with Brody's edging McDougall 3-2 in game 7. Congrats to Scott Cleminson and his Brody's Bar team on a very successful season. League, playoffs, NOHA's and a couple of tournaments. Winning isn't everything, but it gets you a mention in my blog.
Let's recap the 2010 playoff winners.
MAA - Root River Rangers
MBB - Soo Sabres
MHL - Tenaris Algoma Tubes
BAA - Soo Blackhawks**
BBB - Brody's Sports Bar **
BHL - Breakaway Bar*
* also league champs
** also league and NOHA champs
Tough year at the All-Ontario's for our AA teams. Both Blackhawks and Toyota went 0-4 in the round-robin this weekend. But no doubt they went at it hard and represented the Soo with class. A tough way to end the season, but at the end of the day they still have their 2010 NOHA Champions banners to look back on.
Now we can look forward to our awards banquets and the traditional Marconi meal. John Carlson, who has been on the SMHA executive since the early 80's, has been arranging all of our banquets for the last 20 years. When it comes to dedicated, hardcore volunteers, Johnny is a rockstar.
So that is it for this season. We started up eight months ago with our draft games. It is a long season and everybody is tired. I hope that, for the vast majority of those involved, this story had a happy ending. I also hope that, once we all take some time and recharge, the hockey passion will re-ignite and we'll all be ready for the next chapter - 2010/11 - it is only 4.5 mths away.
