DCIHL FIRST EVER PLAYOFFS COMPLETE! (posted June 24th, 2008) DCIHL Season One Champs: Goon Squad All-Stars Back Row (L to R): Travis St.Peter, Bart Sears, Ricky Weldon, Mike Montgomery, Eric Bannerman Front Row (L to R): Matt Acheson, Nick McFadden, Choi Duck-Hyun, Mario Choi Absent: Park Tae-Gil, Park Sang-Hoon The first-ever DCIHL Champs were crowned on Friday night as the Goon Squad All-Stars defeated Da Beers in the final game of the season. It was a nail-biter for sure. The Goons had a 2-0 lead but Da Beers managed to tie it up with just thirty seconds left in the game. A five minute scoreless overtime ensued, and the game was finally decided in a shoot-out. Waylon Chinski was Da Beers' last hope, but couldn't get a rolling puck to settle down for him as he approached Goons goalie, Ricky Weldon. Weldon made the stop, and the celebrations began. On the undercard featuring the Soju Soldiers and the Kimchio Copmets, the Comets made one of the most spectacular comebacks in league history. They came back from a 7-2 deficit to win the game handily 10-7. Recaps can be found here. Photos can be found here.     DCIHL INAUGURAL PLAYOFFS ROUND ONE COMPLETE!

(posted June 13th, 2008) The DCIHL Completed its first regular season two weeks ago with the final games of the season. The Kimchi COmets eked out a nail-biting 6-1 victory over the Soju Soldiers to help the Soldiers lock down last place. Da Beers and The Goon Squad All-Stars fought it out in a battle for first place, with Da Beers coming out on top as the DCHIL's first ever regular season champs. Caleb MacIvor also became the DCIHL's first regular season scoring champ finishing with 18 goals and 20 questionable assists.   WEEK EIGHT IN THE BOOKS (posted May 30th, 2008) DCIHL Week 8 games are complete. There has been no drastic change int he standings as every team held onto its position. Eric Bannerman and Mike Montgomery both had a highlight reel night scoring four and six points each in a 10-2 rout over a demoralized Soju Soldiers squad. Soldiers goalie Kim Hyung-Jin was treated for acute rubber poisoning after the game and hsi status is listed as day-to-day. Da Beers got there act together in time to win over a revitalized Kimchi Comets squad that fell just short of a big win. Ken Vantour and Lim Chae-Sam and Jon Deblois had big games for the Comets. Waylon Chincki had a good night out for Da Beers as well.   WEEK SEVEN IN THE BOOKS (posted May 3rd, 2008) DCIHL Week 7 games were played at Namsun Ice Rink last night. The first place logjam remains as both Da Beers and the Goon Squad All-Stars lost in shoot-outs to remain tied at nine pouints apiece. The Kimchi Comets and the Soju Soldiers (who depserately needed a win) came out on top in their respective games, but neither team could improve their positions in the standings. Ken Vantour was the shootout hero in the first game lifting his squad over the Goons for a well-deserved win. Shin Dae-Jin of the Soju Soldiers got his revenge on Beers goalie Ed McEntee. After being stoned by McEntee in a shootout in the first game of the season, Shin put a beautiful move on McEntee to win the game. Shin skated right to the edge of the crease and delivered a difficult change-up that seemed to mesmerize McEntee as the puck made its way, leisurely, into the net.

The Goon Squad All-Stars defeated Da Beers to jump into a tie for first place. The Soju Soldiers continued to spiral out of control, dropping another game to the Kimchi Comets. There was also a small shakeup in the scoring race as Chris Goodman was bumped from the top four and replaced by a surging Eric Bannerman.Recaps can be found here.   WEEK FIVE IN THE BOOKS (posted April 5th, 2008) DCIHL Week 5 games were played last night at Namsun Ice Rink in Daejeon. The standings got a shake-up as the Goon Squad All-Stars defeated the Soju Soldiers to jump into second place. The second game was an entertaining tilt between the Kimchi Comets and Da Beers. Despite a spirited effort by the Comets, they were unable to take down Da Beers who held onto first place. Recaps and Box Scores will be posted here.   WEEK FOUR IN THE BOOKS (posted March 23rd, 2008) DCIHL Week 4 games were played last night at the Ice Rink in Cheongju. Da Beers came out on top in the battle for first by defeating the Soju Soldiers 12-7. The Goon Squad All-Stars continued their climb up the standings with a 7-2 win over the Kimchi Comets. The All-Stars vs Comets game saw a league record set when Mario Choi, 51, became the oldest multiple goal scorer in league history. Late in the game, while on a two-on-one with a hat trick in the balance, Mario chose to pass off to his winger instead of going for his third goal himself. It was a classy play. Way to go, Mario! Recaps and Box Scores will be posted here.   WEEK THREE IN THE BOOKS (posted March 7th, 2008) DCIHL Week 3 games were played last night at Namsun Ice Rink in Daejeon. The first game proved to be very tight, with the Soju Soldiers edging the Kimchi Comets late in the game for the win. Comets goalie Ben Ramirez left the game with a fairly serious knee injury and was replaced by Ricky Weldon for the last five minutes. In the second game, the Goon Squad All-Stars showed that they were much better than the standings indicated by coming from behind to defeat Da Beers. A goal by Park Tae Gill in the last five minutes proved to be the difference. Recaps and Box Scores will be posted here.
