THE RACE IS ON

Ladies and gentlemen, it is official, there are only two games left in the 2016-2017 regular season, and with the results of the last few weeks, the ranking is tightening-up more and more. Clairvoyant is the one who can predict without hesitation who will win the Tremblay Trophy, given to the regular season champions. With only a five points difference between the first and fifth place, all hopes are still allowed!

Last Saturday's games were once again close ones, with only the first game ending with more than a one goal differential... with a staggering two-goal win for the Kamikazes against the Vipers! It goes without saying that these results are not those expected from an adult league, but with all the efforts put into balancing the teams by the LFA's administration to offer equal chances of victory for all, we can see the results.

The three other games ended with a one-goal gap, and in two cases, we were treated again with exciting shootouts. The next two weeks will be crucial for several teams, who will try both to win the championship but also to finish strong and start the playoffs on a streak.
 

The February player of the month, as decided by the players of the league, is Donald 'The Legend' Turcotte, who left his hockey retirement to help the Vipers, who have since enjoyed success. Donald's "joie de vivre", positivity and enthusiasm, as well as his unrivaled passing skills, ensured that he quickly became one of the most important parts of his team. Congratulations to the winner and thank you to all those who took the time to vote.

The LFA is proud to announce its partnership with RDS and the MVP Group, with the RDS HOCKEY EXPERIENCE , who will be held on March 18, 2017.

One of the many important points the league tries to make come across is this atmosphere worthy of the major circuits, with its personalized team logos, banners, free official sport drink and all those little details that can sometimes go unnoticed.
