Spring Season - Week Thirteen - May 19th

- Then there was one, Emaan completed a sweep of Sabr to take the Spring Season Championship.

Three Stars of the Week:
1st: Umair Awan (Emaan) - 2 Goals, Game Winning Goal
2nd: Furqan Salam (Emaan) - 1 Goal, 2 Assists
3rd: Luqman Arshad (Sabr) - 1 Goal, 1 Assist

- Emaan built up a 2-0 lead at the half and with 10 minutes left in the game were up 4-0.  They let their foot off the gas and for a talented team like Sabr it was a big mistake as Sabr scored three quick goals to make it a 4-3 game.  Arif Bijabhai potted an empty netter with 1:23 left to seal the game and crown Emaan as Spring Champions.

- Emaan’s victory broke the well advertised curse for Salman Alvi who lifted his first Championship, Samad Hamidi and Yusuf Kapoor also won for the first time.  The Cambridge squad seems to be the place where players go to win their first title as Kashif "Coach K" Taqiuddin infamously won his first championship with the majority of this group a couple of seasons ago.

- Before the game the Regular Season Awards were handed out, here are your winners:
THE NASEEM BUTTAR GENERAL MANAGER’S AWARD:
- Taqwa GMs: Yasir Hussain & Saajid Bhayat

BEST DEFENSEMAN:
- Adil Patel - Taqwa

BEST GOALTENDER:
- Yusuf Kapoor - Emaan

PLAYER'S CHOICE AWARD:
- Yusuf Kapoor - Emaan

REGULAR SEASON MVP:
- Adil Patel - Taqwa

PLAYOFF MVP: * subject to change
- Yusuf Kapoor - Emaan

- To sum it up, Yusuf Kapoor cleaned up winning Best Goalie, Lowest Goals Against, Players Choice and Playoff MVP.  This on top of winning his first Championship - a great night for the young goaltender.

- Here is your 2017 Spring Season Champions, Emaan
