yesterday's news: 2012 banquet a resounding success

So we had a banquet in the spring and among other things we held the draft lottery.

We're nothing if not scrupulous here in the AHHL. And so we conducted the lottery under the watchful eye -- and finger -- of the AHHL's spiritual consultant and moral touchstone, Mr David Redwood.

As for the trophies, if anyone can remember who won what we'd be most obliged for a quiet reminder on the side.

If anything the hardware outshone the winners.

The AHHL Cup (ed. doesn't it have a better name than that?) sat unclaimed at the head of the table.

The Tank Hard came back very much the worse for wear, now sporting a hinge on its once-proud plinth.

The Trash Talk award was once again trashed albeit in a bright, lemony-fresh kind of way.

And with that the sun set on another successful AHHL season.

Moving on.

The summer trade period (August 1 to September 15 every year) is now open. Yay!

Final rosters (already distributed by email) will be linked, above, soon. Yay!

There are two openings in the team ranks. (Moment of silence.) Said openings soon to be filled. Yay! And we're very likely to return to a full 20 team complement. Yay!
