Wow! Second week in a row to bring in a win. This time out it was a Tigers win, 5-4 over the Rampaging Moose. It was a good win for us to make to as it helps out the other NYCGHA teams — the Rockets and Hotshots — with their playoff hopes. The Tigers have [...]

Finally A Win…
It’s been a long dry spell between wins… on either team… but the Ordinals pulled off a win last night against BNP, 4-3. The team had some good hustle last night, and the second period slump was less of a slump that it had been in recent weeks. That was critical because BNP was fast [...]

Wow! I’m going to Montreal for the 1st World Outgames! I got the news this past Sunday from the captain of the NYCGHA’s Wizards.
