We've waited for ages for our new dressing rooms. Work that was supposed to be done over the summer to have all six rooms ready for September was delayed for months because of a long string of disputes between the contractor and the college.As a result, we started the season in dressing rooms fit for squatters, namely number 3 and 4. Two of the six rooms are finally completed. I will be raising one issue: the lack of pressure in the showers with management Monday morning. But otherwise, the new rooms are modern, clean, brightly lit and have much better layout than the holes we were in for years. 

The finished results are beyond my expect

The votes are in, and the big winner of the first player of the month award in the Ligue Fédérale des As is none other than Martin Desjardins of the Bifteck Avengers. His 14 points, including 10 assists, put him ahead in two statistical categories, and his determination and desire to win make Marty a great choice. His prize is a the president's special homemade shepherd's pie, custom-made gluten-free to match Marty's diet.

You don't need to be a caller to Les amateurs de sports or other talk-radio to ask questions about our national sport (even if it's technically lacrosse), and the same can be said for la la Ligue Fédérale des As. And we can't convince Ron Fournier to talk about
anything but the saint flanelle anyway. It goes without saying that the LFA has gone through a lot of changes since the inaugural season was launched in September. Injuries, a change in schedule and personal issues combined with a number of absent players has meant that the first third of the season hasn't gone exactly as planned by the player-coaches of each team.

There's a photo to go with this week's news. It might be invisible to those who can't see it but it's there for anyone who knows how to look. I'll leave you to your memories mixed with what men think of "X" times a day. Maybe she's there somewhere, halfway between dream and fantasy, a place where reality catches up to us only to be left behind again by our imagination...

Almost 3 months after the launch of the LFA web site, the english section is finaly open just in time to see the first shift in the standings as after weeks of being on top, the fading Czechers have finally been dethroned. Relying on a lineup sprinkled with replacement players and the strong start of goaltender Patrick Bouchard, the Tomahawks defeated the Avengers 3-2 Saturday night, and have jumped to lead the standings.

After incalculable hours of work, technical hurdles and constant commitment, we are proud to announce the English website of La Ligue Fédérale des As is now online. Very few garage leagues can claim to serve the two major languages of our community.
