The FHL Gazette

Full squad, exactly as drafted — the Model Ts brought urgency from the opening puck drop and never let up. Great team win. We were sharp both with and without the puck and cashed in on our chances when it mattered. Having that 10th skater back in the lineup made a noticeable difference from last week. Rumor has it we'll be at full strength again next week too. (Uh-ohhhh...)

Soz and Aco each finished with 5 assists. Soz doesn't lose draws, creates so many extra opportunities because of it. Mack, Chris Deroache, and Aco each had a pair of goals. Dennis got his first of the season as well. Rookie Jordan Guske notched his first FHL goal of his young career — many more to come. Grab as many of his rookie cards as you can while you still can & send them to PSA!

Ruben, Brent, Hajec returned to the lineup this week. Great to see those gritty defenders on the ice. 

Tommy B was a workhorse tonight. Dennis as well. Mack was snipping early and often. Mack vs Gorski for hardest shot in the league will be headliner for the FHL All Star Game Skills Competition this Christmas. (Get your radar guns out!) 

Killer was the 3x champion goaltender tonight. Bailed us out in big moments. Great start to the season by Killer, POG. 

We’re going to continue to get better every week. Legs are coming back. Special group of guys in the locker room this year. Lot of past champions that know the small things it takes to win a championship. 

SuperChiefs played hard and catch up for most of the game. Rookie Earl "Gretz"inger with his first of many fhl tallies. Pulling within 1 late in third but unfortunately for us it was not enough. Strong games out of Riley and Roberts and clutch breakaway saves again from Alex. Thanks to Harris and big bro Dan for subbing in. Off until next Wednesday when we take on the Raud Squad. 

STARDATE 21SEPT2026

With the Fall Equinox coming up on 9/22, the days and nights will be nearly equal for the next few days.  At the precise moment of the Equinox, when the sun passes over the equator from north to south, the sun will be positioned directly over the equator.  Equinox means "equal nights," which is somewhat of a misnomer, at least in the northern hemisphere.  Here, the daytime will still be just a bit longer than the nightime for a few days.  That is due, at least in part, to how we define sunrises (when the sun first peaks out from the horizon) and sunsets (when the sun fully disappears behind the horison).  In any case, we do not actually experience sunrises or sunsets in real time.  What we are seeing is a sort of mirage caused by the manner in which the atmosphere bends the sun's rays around the Earth. 

That reminds me of Boogie Nights, when Buck Swope and Jessie St. Vincent make a love connection at a party while talking about sunrises and sunsets, and how they both prefer sunrises.  Anyway... two games and two losses so far for the Galaxies.  We've actually scored first in both games, but relinquished both leads rather quickly.  This time, it was on an own goal by yours truly.  If I hadn't broken the seal for them who knows what would have happened!  On a more positive note, Blake scored a couple goals.  Curtis also chipped in with a late one.  I feel like the game was closer than the score, but we were also pinned down in our zone for long stretches, so I could be mistaken.  I think I'll skip the livebarn this week and pretend that I'm remembering things correctly.
