Last Saturday's games were overall very close battles, and this led to some excesses that did not remain without consequences. By viewing the videos on LiveBarn, the decision was taken to suspend two players following the actions they have committed on the ice. Dangerous hits and vicious gestures will not be tolerated.

The news this week will be short. First, because time is running, and then because the subject of this week is pretty straight forward.

Last Saturday's games have shown that parity in the league is almost reached; all games ended with a tight score, and all were competitive. Some teams have seen the match be decided in a shootout or near the end of the game, which is all good and well for the rest of the season.

We have played two games in the regular season, and yet this first Saturday of break will be welcome to many. Not that the players have less desire to jump on the ice, but this break will allow everyone to put his affairs in order, to enjoy family life or to take a break after a bad performance. On the side of the league's administration, this break will allow for further analysis of forces and to spend more time getting to fill the holes caused by injuries and repeated absences.
 

Last Saturday was the first day of official matches for the LFA's 2016-2017 season. The week before, we had a taste of what to expect with the exhibition games, but this time it was the real deal! For a change, the league was entitled to even more premieres on the first day of activities!

In hockey history, captains have had an important role to play that goes beyond a letter stamped on their jersey and giving them the right to discuss with the referees. The captains were not always the best offensive players or the best defensemen; even tough several examples prove the opposite. To Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux we can add Maurice Richard and Jean Béliveau. But we can also find captains appointed for their leadership and personality and who never won the scoring championship as Scott Stevens and Dustin Brown.

That's it, the 2016-2017 season is upon us! This Saturday will be the first day of activity for the LFA's new regular season. Many recruits will make their debut in the league, distributed among the eight teams that will compete this year.

On August 30 was held the 2016 Summer Championship, which opposed the Avengers and the Vipers. The spectators had the opportunity to watch the game, enjoy the BBQ operated by Sun Youth and drink Tremblay beer to the sound of music.

The last playoff games of the LFA 2016 Summer Season took place yesterday. Initially, five of the six teams could expect to participate in the Championship Game. Each team absolutely needed to win their game. At the end of the evening, the two best teams were known: Sébastien Marchand's Avengers and Alex Paré's Vipers will face off against each other next Sunday during our Championship Game.
 

Last Sunday was held the second day of competition in the 2016 summer season playoffs. We were treated with real playoffs games, the intensity being above what we have seen until now this summer. Every teams arrived with confidence, ready for battle and leaving little space to their opponents.
