This one was never in question as Phil Parda put on a scoring clinic with a hat trick and 2 assists. Peter Stafford added 2 goals of his own to help propel O’Connor’s to the championship round.

In a hard fought championship game, defense prevailed as neither team could get much offense going. O’Connor’s Andrew Bauman snuck one past the Saber Cat goalie at the 3:32 mark of the 1^st period. After a scoreless 2^nd period Saber Cats knotted it up at 1 with a rocket shot by Ryan Peterson with 7:16 remaining in regulation. The two teams would trade shots for the next 5 minutes and then O’Connor’s scoring leader Phil Parda blew the game winner by the Saber Cat goalie with just 2:32 left. O’Connor’s managed to shut down the Saber Cats efforts to get this tied and head into overtime. Congratulations to the B division Champs, O’Connor’s!

In C-1 action the Fighting Sue knocked off a determined Stenny’s group to advance to the final game. Goals by CJ Erickson, Tom Porter, and Peter Smith would prove to be more than enough as the Sue ended the Big Dog’s season by the score of 3-1. The Sue would now have to face top seeded Labatt Blue who advanced to the final game by virtue of a double forfeit in the 1^st round.

Labatt opened fast and hard and never looked back as they easily downed the Sue 11-3. Hat tricks by Collin Shorts and Richard Deklotz helped lead the charge to the decisive victory. The PAHL congratulates Labatt on a perfect season.

In the C-2 division the mighty Warriors were determined to bring down the high flying Aviators but the Aviators offense was just too much for the Warriors to sustain. The Aviators spread the puck well with goals being scored by eight different players including 2 by Jeff Gallagher to ice this one. Warriors Cory Majsek had all 4 for the Warriors as they went down by a final of 9-4. The 11-0 Aviators would now take their aerial assault to the championship game to face 2^nd place Predators. The Predators jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with goals by Bill Morrison and Dave Hebgen. The next 4 goals for the Predators would come from Jason Zurawick in a fine exhibition of goal scoring prowess. Aviators mounted a 3^rd period comeback by scoring 4 times including a hat trick by Jeff Novack but that would not be enough as the Predators grounded the Aviators by a final score of 7-5. Congratulations to the Predators!

The D division had by far the tightest action of the weekend. Undefeated 4^th base downed Shooters Service by a final of 3-2. The game winner came from Mike Korrer with just 88 ticks left on the clock to secure 4^th Bases trip to the final. Mike Airoldi and Jim Hauke made a valiant effort but could not overcome 3 third period penalties committed by Shooters. In the other semi-final Bar Louie advanced by knocking off the Pirates 3-2. Bar Louie trailed after one 2-0 but shut down the Pirate offense through the final 2 periods while scoring three of their own including two key 3^rd period goals from Kirk Radke. Bar Louie would now face the undefeated 4^th Base in the final game. Bar Louie had their chances in this one but could not capitalize on a late 5 on 3 that lasted a full 2 minutes and would prove to be the difference as 4^th Base hung on to win by a final of 2-0. 4^th Base goals were scored by Ben Korrer and Russ Jones which is all that was needed as a stubborn defensive unit would not allow Bar Louie to get on the board. Congratulations to 4^th Base on an undefeated Championship season in the PAHL.

Semi final action kicked off Friday night in the A division as JBC Service lost a heartbreaker to Stenny’s Big Dogs by a score of 10-8. Joe Schreck and Brian Soik lead the charge for Stenny’s both recording hat tricks in the contest. Meanwhile the Blue Jackets kept to their guaranty by squeaking past Leonard Insurance in an overtime battle 5-4. The outspoken Matt Medvecz who gave the guaranty had a playmaker including an assist on the game winner by Matt Mclivane. With the victory the Blue Jackets had to face number one seed Stenny’s and that is where the guaranty came to a sudden halt. This was a hotly contested game between the two top teams in the A division. The Blue Jackets jumped on top with some early scoring by Greg Barbera and Steve Buda, but found themselves tied at the end of one 3-3. The two teams would both score two each in the second leading them into the third tied at five a piece.

The Blue Jackets ran out of fuel early and could not generate any offense in the third while giving up three and losing it 8-5. Tom Hoffman was the "Big Dog" for Stenny’s as he posted yet another hat trick while Brian Soik added two of his own. The PAHL congratulates Stenny’s Big Dogs on the Championship, as they proved that they are the TOP team in the A division.

B division playoff action saw a charged up O’Connor’s bunch jump all over Korbelly’s  13-3. Phyllis Parda had a hat trick and a playmaker in this not so hotly contested battle. Other notables for O’Connor’s were Casey Howard, 4 goals and Andrew Bauman, 2 goals. In the other B division playoff game Saber Cats ended Benno’s season and any hope of championship glory by knocking them off 4-3. Saber Cats had one goal in each period by Sam Theis, Joe Theis, and Mike Neale respectively. Saber Cats will now go on to face top seed Decibel Night Club while O’Connor’s will take on the Ice Peckers.

In C-1, Stenny’s other Big Dogs bit the Swamp Donkeys ending their season 10-4. Matt Knight led the Dogs with a hat trick. Stenny’s will now get ready to face the Fighting Sue in semi final action. The Coyotes and Dusters played off but the outcome was to no avail as a double forfeit was entered due to each having ineligible goal tenders. That gives top seeded Labatt Blue an automatic trip to the Championship finale.

The Warriors kept its hopes alive by beating Korbelly Blues in a close one 4-3. Kevin Keating was the warrior’s Chief as he scored a hat trick while Andy Highby added two assists. Warriors will now pow-wow with the undefeated, high flying Aviators who they have been unable to overcome in two previous tries. The Norse beat out a short benched Benno’s group 6-1 and will now advance to take on the red hot Predators. Nick Metzger and Clay Stearns each had two goals for the Norse en route to the win.

The D division opened its playoff weekend sending two teams closer to the championship round. Shooters Service got a big win over St. Pats 7-3. Nick Little and Jim Hauke led the way for Shooters by posting 2 goals while Derek Orton added a couple of assists. The Heartbreaker’s season came to an end as they lost to Bar Louie 8-5. Adam Gustafson recorded a hat trick while a hot handed Aaron Kempen had four assists to lead the Bar Louie charge. Bar Louie will now take on the swashbuckling Pirates while Shooters will face the unbeaten 4^th base. Good luck to all teams!

A computer miscalculation has lead to an error in rankings on the part of Hockey Director Mike Araco. The division winner by virtue of a third tie breaker in the A division is Stenny's Big Dogs, Congratulations!

In A division playoff action Sunday night, Buffalo Wild Wings played a great game against 3rd place Leonard Insurance but lost the decision 4-2. This was an epic battle as the two teams headed to the 3rd period after a scoreless 2nd period tied 1-1. The Wings took the lead at the 9:20 mark 2-1 and seemed to be playing good enough defense to close out Leonard. Marc Scheussler tied the game with a break away goal at the 4:57 mark to tie it up once again. Then Matt King grabbed a costly turnover by the Wings and found the back of the net for the game winner with 1:34 remaining in regulation. This game had overtime written all over it. BW3s pulled their goalie and began applying some offensive heat but another costly mistake would find the inside of an empty Wings net to close this one out. Leonard takes the victory and must now face the Blue Jackets in the semi final round. The Blue Jackets claim to be invicible now as Blue Jacket player Matt Medvecz has guaranteed not only a win this week vs. Leonard, he has guaranteed a Blue Jacket's Championship. Gee, I wonder what the other teams think about that? In the other playoff game JBC Service held on and beat a determined Ticket King 7-6 in overtime. Ticket King seemed to be in control of this affair as they lead 6-3 at the end of 2 periods. JBC then shut them out in the 3rd while adding 3 goals of their own including the tieing goal by Adam Freeman sending this contest into overtime. Freeman would end up the hero in this one by scoring the game winner 1:42 into the overtime. JBC will now take on #1 Stennys Big Dogs.

In the B division, Decibel Night Clup locked up the top spot while losing to the Sabercats 4-1. Mike Neale had 2 assists for the Cats leading them to the win. Decibel will now enjoy a 1st round bye while Sabercats ready themselves for playoff action. The Ice peckers made a run at the top spot losing out in a 3rd tiebreaker scenario by 5 goals. Peckers defeated O'Connors 8-5 dropping O'Connors to 3rd place. Kevin Cline had a hat trick and Cory Kroll had 2 goals leading the charge for the Ice Peckers. Bennos who has been improving it's game with each passing week upped it's record to 6-4 only 1 back of 1st while only taking 4th. They handed Korbellys, last seasons Champions their 10th loss in a row leaving them winless during the regular season. Bennos showed that they could spread the puck well as 7 different players got in on the scoring. I wouldnt count Korbellys out though, they are proven winners and may strike at any time.

C-1 saw Labatt Blue wrap up an almost perfect regular season with an undefeated record of 9-0-1. Labatt sudsed Stenny's Big Dogs 10-3 in an almost penalty free contest. Collin Shorts had 2 key 2nd period goals to help guide his team to the win. 2nd place Fighting Sue lost out to 4th place Coyotes 10-3. Dan Crivello and Matt Turdo both had hat tricks for the Sue insuring a 1st round bye for their teamates. The Dusters lost a tough one to the Swamp Donkeys giving the Donks their 2nd win of the season. Jon Rader had a fine performance turning in a hat trick to pave the way to victory. As I said earlier dont count these Donkey's out, they have a big kick. They are my dark horse if you will to take this all the way.

The Aviators finished up with a perfect 10-0 record with a plus 65 goal differential handily taking the C-2 division. They demolished Bennos in a lopsided fest winning out 14-3, huh? Mike Pogorelc, Dave Kasdorf, and Jeff Novak all had hat tricks in the game for the high flying Aviators. The Predators finished up with a win over Korbelly Blues 5-3. Predators will get a 1st round bye by virtue of their 2nd place finish with a record of 7-3. Warriors picked up another win by beating the Norse 5-2. Both teams will be in playoff action this week hoping for a win and a chance to play the Aviators once again.

4th Base wrapped up their perfect 10-0 season defeating Heartbreakers 7-4. Ben Korer recorded a hat trick for 4th base en route to the win. Heartbreakers at 2-8 may want to consider changing it's name to Crazy Horse. The Pirates climbed the mast and won the 2nd place spot in the head to head tie breaker over Bar Louie by beating Bar Louie for the 2nd time 4-3 in an overtime game. Tom Penn had 2 goals on the evening including the overtime game winner. St Pats secured the 4th seed by downing Shooters Service 6-3. Dave Bowser, Eric Steinbrecher, and Mike Skaleski each had 2 goals leading St pats to the promised land. The 2 teams will have a rematch in the 1st round of the playoffs.

The A Division wrapped up it's regular season with the Blue Jackets taking first place by means of a second tie breaker. The Jackets and Stenny's Big Dogs finished with identical records of 7-3. They were also tied in head to head competition at one game apiece so it went down to goal differential where the Jackets squeeked out the top spot 19-22. The Blue Jackets captured their 4th win in a row by knocking off Leonard Insurance 5-4 Sunday night. Leonard managed to tie the game early in the 3rd but the game winner was scored by the outspoken Matt Medvecz at the 9:52 mark which proved to be all that was needed as old reliable Brian Caldwell shut down Leonard the rest of the way. In other A action The Big Dogs handed another loss to Ticket King 6-3. Ticket King could not muster any 3rd period offense as their number one scoring threat Jake Ransom had to be removed early for unsportsmanlike conduct. JBC Service cooked up some Buffalo Wild Wings in a high scoring affair 11-8. Andrew Araco pumped in 4 goals as BW3s lead 8-7 entering the 3rd period but 3 goals by JBCs Collin Wonder, Eric Simonis, and Rudy Raasch, was more sauce than the Wings could absorb. Bw3s will take on Leonard Insurance this weekend and JBC gets Ticket King while Blue Jackets and Stennys enjoy a 1st round bye.

In B action Decibel Night Club moved up to the top spot with a one game lead over O'Connors and Ice Peckers in a convincing win over O'Connors 8-3. Shawn Dempsey and Justin Richter both had hat tricks for Decibel. Ice peckers easily downed winless Korbellys 8-1 to stay in the hunt for 1st place and a first round bye. Reece Cretton had 4 assists for Ice Peckers to help seal the deal. Bennos won their second straight elevating them to the .500 mark by beating the usually roaring Saber Cats 6-2. Dave Schroeter and Will Apps both had 2 goals apiece to lead the way for Bennos. First place remains up for grabs as we head into the final week of the regular season.

Labatt Blue clinched the C-1 division and earned a 1st round bye with a win over the Fighting Sue 8-1. Richard Deklotz recorded a hat trick for Labatt as they defeated the Sue.

Justin Rienkenna had a hat trick for the Dogs en route to the win. The strength of the Donks has yet to be seen this summer but don't count them out yet, they are talented and dangerous. The Coyotes recorded their 4th win of the season by handling the Dusters 7-4. Matt Turdo had a hat trick for the Coyotes and added an assist. Both teams will be a factor before this is over.

The Aviators continue to soar in the C-2 division as they go to 9-0 with a win over the Warriors. Mike Pogorelic scored 4 times in this one and added a couple of assists for the Aviators. The Defending Champion Warriors have been without a couple of their key players this summer and it is showing up vividly in the standings. The Predators locked up 2nd place and a 1st round bye beatng The Norse 6-2. Dave Hebgen recorded a hat trick while Chuck Zimney had a 2 goal game for the Predators. Korbelly Blues went on a scoring frenzy to move into a tie for 3rd by knocking off Bennos 12-7, yes 12. Jeff Weiss pounded in 3 for his hat trick while a host of other Blues players got in on the scoring. Jim Jensen had 4 of his own for Bennos but lets face it 12 is a little too much to overcome. Can anyone ground the Aviators?

Last but not least the D division saw 4th base stay on the unbeaten path improving to 9-0 sailing past the Pirates 8-3. Jim Misicka had 4 goals for 4th base and also an assist to lead the way. The Pirates still have a shot at 2nd place but will need a win and a little bit of help in the case of a tie breaker situation. Bar Louie took control of the second spot and will secure a 1st round bye with a win in their final game. Bar Louie beat Shooters Service 4-1. Bar louie held Shooters scoreless through the final 2 periods. Shooters is in a tie for 4th with a 3-5-1 record. Heartbreakers got their 2nd win of the season with a shut out win over St. Pats 3-0. Keith Shadrick lead Heartbreakers scoring with 2 goals. Heartbreakers has been improving as of late and may have to be reckoned with once the playoffs begin.

The Dogs barked in 4 unanswered 2nd period goals, 2 coming from Brian Soik to clinch this one.

Dave Cruikshank and Greg Barberra had 2 goals each helping to power the Blue Jackets to the win. After the game Blue Jacket player Matt Medvecz said " We're back, when we come out and play as a team we are unbeatable" Well Matt, we will just have to wait and see about that.

The C-1 division saw Labatt Blue take over sole possesion of 1st with an undefeated record of 7-0-1. They bit the Coyotes 7-1 that left the Coyotes in search of a goal tender to play the rest of the season.
