Cross-Check Hockey League

Week 9 has come and gone, which means we only have ONE regular season week of competition remaining.

The competition is absolutely amazing this year, as with one week left, there are still 7 playoff spots up for grabs (not to mention a division title that will be decided this week as well)! Congratulations to our division champions so far!

The Hartford Wolfpack are the Adam’s division Champion. The Ontario Reign clinched the Norris division, and St. Charles Chill are the Smythe champions. Still to be decided is the Patrick division, which will come down to the Chicago Wolves and Danville Dashers. Both the Wolves and Dashers have clinched a playoff spot, however, either as division champ or through the conference at standings.

The battle for the last playoff spots will come down to total game points scored for the season, as the Wales conference has multiple teams with 9 points, and in the Campbell conference many teams with 10 points. The total number of points scored this week could get someone into the playoffs, or boot them out!

The pick sheet for week 10 is now posted and picks are due on Thursday night, March 18th by 11:59pm ET.

Congratulations to all Week 5 winners!

On Valentine's day, all four division leaders loved what they saw. Hartford continued their undefeated season and are pulling away in the Adams division. Lou Demian and the Wolf Pack have made it half way through the regular season 5-0. Chicago leads the Patrick Division at 4-0-1, and holds a 1 point lead over Danville.

In The Campbell Conference, the Ontario Reign are 4-0-1 in the Norris division following another win in Week 5, now leading Rockford by 3 points. St. Charles leads the Smythe division, also by 3 points, and also at 4-0-1.

Week 5 saw the Reign score 13 points, the most by any team. Providence, Rochester and Bakersfield all scored more than 10 points in their wins as well. Unfortunately for Richmond and New Haven, both teams scored 10 points but lost their matchups for the week.

The week 6 pick sheet is posted and picks can be sent at any time! Week 6 picks are due on Thursday night, February 18th by 11:59pm ET!

Congratulations to all Week 3 winners!

The Richmond Richmond Riverdogs came to play in week 3, scoring a season-high tying 16 points en route to a dominating win over the Charlotte Rush. Thomas Brownie's Riverdogs have now won 2 games in a row, are second in the Smythe Division, and third overall in the Campbell Conference.

The Omaha Knights weren't far behind in scoring, running up 14 points against Kentucky. It was Omaha's first win of the season.

The Hartford Wolf Pack (3-0), Chicago Wolves (2-0-1), Ontario Reign (2-0-1) and St. Charles Chill (2-0-1) are the only teams without a straight up loss this year, but obviously that 3-0 by the Wolf Pack remains the only undefeated team.

Rochester and Cincinnati are still looking for their first points of the season, and are looking to week 4 to get that done.

Congratulations to all Week 2 winners!

The Dallas Stars' finally played their first game (Friday) after having their season delayed due to COVID, however during this week, we had our first game get cancelled due to COVID (Carolina/Florida) which forced a lot of teams to have to use their Period 2 COVID Replacement pick. You'll see on the week 2 picks highlighted in GREEN the teams who had to use their replacement pick.

Adam Maracle's Deseronto Storm were the highest scoring team of the week (13 points) and saw his record move to 2-0 and in the lead of the Patrick Division. Richmond and Charlotte both scored 12 points on the way to their own wins. Besides 0 points scored by the forfeit of the Boston Bandits, the second lowest score of the week was the Rockford Ice Hogs. It was their first loss of the season.

Six of twenty-eight teams remain undefeated, while six other teams remain winless. What will week 3 bring?

Congratulations to all Week 1 winners!

Two teams, Hershey Bears and Ontario Reign, really came out of the gate strong, scoring the most points in week 1 games, 16 & 15 points, respectfully. Both won their games. Conversely, the Oshawa Generals (1 point) and El Paso Chihuahuas (5 points) were the lowest scoring teams of the week and unfortunately took losses.

Three games went into overtime, with the South Carolina Stingrays beating St. Charles Chill 15-14, the New York Riveters defeated the Chicago Wolves 13-12 and the Sherbrooke Canadiens scored in overtime to defeat the New Haven Beast 11-10.

Now that week 1 is over, teams will look ahead to week 2 with anticipation. With such a short regular season this year, every win is even more important, but every loss will hurt much more.
