Week Sixteen - February 3rd

- Game One did not go as expected, especially for Yaqeen, as Ihsan strolled to an easy 6-1 win.  Both teams were missing some key players but it was Ihsan that roared out to a quick 5-0 lead and never looked back.

- Yaqeen has to be disappointed as their defense has carried them to the finals with some great performances only to be picked apart by a team that they believed they were matched well against.

- Ihsan came out of the game understandably pleased with their performance, highlighted by Yousuf Soliman referring to himself in third person on social media with statements like "do it for the six" and "six in the city" making light of the six goals his team put up and his nickname of Drake.

- Game Two will see Yaqeen in a must win game to force overtime, anything less than a win and Ihsan will lift the cup.

**IMPORTANT**: Register for the upcoming season AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Spots will be limited in order to ensure that the season finishes before the start of Ramadan. In previous seasons we have had the flexibility to accommodate players on the wait-list by adding another team. That is not a possibility for this Spring Season so register early to ensure you do not miss out.

Draft is happening February 10th, next week!!!

We have officially brought back a concept that we used in the early seasons of the league and helped bring out the best from our players - the dedication to helping the community through charity.

Each GM group will be submitting a charity organization that they will be playing for this season. I-Slam Hockey will donate money to the charity that wins the Spring 2017 Championship, the I-Slam Cup!   If you know of a Charity that the GMs should consider playing for, please let us know and we will pass the message along to the GMs!
