One question for coach/guest blogger Darren. Why are the scores so low in that league? I'm really struck by the fact that OPG's average game score was a 2-1 win, while the Red Boys on average won their games 5-4 or maybe even 6-5 (we don't post as many stats for some reason). Shorter games? Better defence? Or do they make you guys play on skates?

Congrats to Nephew/Cousin Michael
OK, I couldn't wait for the official game report so I went here to see the 0-1 result for Ontario Power Generation. While you'd always rather win, that's a great result against a team that was 10-0 with 58 goals for and 7 against! You guys should be very proud! As are the Red Boys, whose league clearly uses the same ISP...

It was a fantastic game, one you would hope froma final. Michael had a spectacular break away in the early stages of the game. Despite being man-handled by two opposing players he managed to get a shot off that was inches from blowing by the goal keeper.
I would tend to think that the low scoring could be atributed to the size of the net. I would like to think it is the wonderful advice from the coaches as to how to defend, but, alas the nets are not much bigger than hockey nets. This gives the goal keep a pretty nice advantage.
Anyway, it was good season and now it is on to hockey.
Nice job! Sounds like a great game indeed. [So glad that nobody in my house is into the hockey thing. But I'll be envious when Myles signs that contract with the Anaheim Ducks.]
This soccer season for Ben was the first one with regulation-size fields and goals and enforcement of the offside rule (although only when the poor single ref could see it). It made a big difference and the play was much better. 35-minute halves, too. So I see where the scoring difference comes from!
