GM Collard's in-form squad is now 8-8 for the season and trail the division leading Misconducts by three games. The Boulder Flyers played well at the end of the week but were still chewed up by the sharp-toothed Wild Ducks, falling four games back with a sub-par record of 7-9.
ICE CATS: 82.1POLAR BEARS: 29.0The Ice Cats enjoyed their best outing of the season - at the Polar Bears expense - as GM Cutshall's squad improved to 7-9. The Cats are four games out of first.

The second year franchise has now been slapped with five penalties and sit seven full games behind the division leading Bluliners.
BLULINERS: 55.8CROSBY SHOW: 38.0The Bluliners needed a win to reclaim sole possession of the Gretzky lead, and they got it, dispatching the once hot Crosby Show with relative ease. GM Hamilton's team is now 11-5 for the season. Meanwhile, the Crosby Show slipped to 10-6 but remain hot on the heels of the Bluliners, trailing the best of the Gretzky by a single game.
MOOSES: 58.4DREAM TEAM: 40.3The Mooses aren't making much noise in the overall standings, but they are screaming like a mother in the Gretzky as they are now 10-6 overall, just one game shy of the division lead. The Dream Team's nightmare season continues as the rookie franchise plummeted to 4-12; seven monster games from the Gretzky lead.
MISCONDUCTS: 48.6ICE HOGS: 47.5"That's gonna leave a mark" were the words uttered by GM Henry after his Ice Hogs were clipped by the division leading Misconducts.
