League Championships & Hubley Cup

The Schedule has been posted for the League Championships and the Hubley Cup. We are still waiting for final seedings. Once we have all information, the schedule will be fully completed.

Any questions please feel free to have your team rep contact the league.

Bill Perry
HSL - President.

As the regular season draws to a conclusion, there has been numerous questions on playoffs, etc.

Times are extremely limited in the month of August. Top 8 will play in the league playoffs. The next 8 (9 to 16) will play in the Hubley Cup. Both competitions are single elimination.

Provincials will be held in Halifax this summer August 29th and 30th. At the moment our league is guaranteed to have 3 spots with the 4th spot playing off versus a Valley opponent. Top 3 spots are determined by regular season placements as always. The 4th place team will play off against Valley. We do not have the turf time available to do a playoff for the wild card spot as was done in 2008.

If there's any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the league executives.

Halifax Dunbrack - Hurlburt will not be able to field a team this summer. As such, any games that are scheduled vs. Halifax Dunbrack - Hurlburt will be cancelled. THEY ARE NOT A FORFEIT WIN.

*** PLEASE NOTE***
Due to Dunbrack's inability to have a team this summer, there will be some adjustments made to the schedule to utilize the times that were booked for their games.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact any of the members of the HSL executive.

Thank you.

Congrats to DUSC, 2008 Hubley Cup Winner, who defeated Stewiacke FC 3-1 in the final. DUSC got out to a 3-0 lead until Stewiacke put in a consolation goal in the late minutes of the game.

Congratulations to rep Drew Turner and his team.

Congratulations to Halifax Celtic Metros winner of the 2008 Nova Scotia Men B Provincial title.

HCM went undefeated in the tournament down in Bridgewater with victories of 7-1 over Dock Rovers (Highland), 3-0 over Berwick Rangers (Valley), 3-2 over HB Thunder (South Shore) and 2-1 PK win over Windor Spitfire Arms (Valley) in the Gold Medal game.

It was a tightly contested gold medal game. 0-0 at half. Rod Hutchings gave HCM the lead in about the 65th minute with a nice chip over the Windsor keeper. But the Valley opponent tied it with about 7 minutes remaining.

Both teams traded scoring chances in the additional 30 minutes of extra time.

It went to penalty kicks. Windsor missed 2 of their kicks while all 4 of HCM players converted their penalties. Chris Bebbington put in the decisive winner to clinch the team's first Provincial Title.

Congratulations to all players and coaches involved with the team's success this season.

In the Bronze medal game, Rigbound and HB Thunder matched up in the rematch of the 2007 Gold Medal game. The South Shore team captured the bronze medal with a hard fought 3-1 victory. Kevin O'Carroll scored for Rigbound.

Rigbound finished 2nd in their group with victories over Coconut Grove (2-1) and the South Shore host, Chester Merchant (5-1). Their group loss came against Windsor Spitfire Arms (1-0).

The third representative Coconut Grove Night Club made their first trip to the Provincial tournament and finished 3rd in Group A and out of medal contention.

CGNC finished with 1 win (3-2) over Chester Merchants (South Shore) and 2 losses, a 2-1 loss to Rigbound and a 2-0 loss to Windsor (Valley).

Congratulations to Source for winning their first Championship. It was an exciting game with Source coming out on top 9-8 in Penalties. Congrats to both teams (Source & Rigbound) for an exciting final.

As per HSL Rules: in the event that 2 teams are tied for points at the end of the Hubley Cup group matches the following formula will be used to determine a winner:

b) head to head points (if more than two teams are tied its total points for games played against each other),
c) most wins,
d) goal differential (in all matches),
e) goals for,
f) goals against,
g) coin toss.

Team Reps,

There has been some question over whether or not a player who received his 3rd or 5th yellow card (or a red, all of which resulting in a suspension) should have to serve their suspension in the League Championship/Hubley Cup. The Executive has convened and determined the following:

1. Any suspensions that are handed out by the HSL's discipline committee as a
result of a misconduct report that cannot be fully served in the regular season will be served in either the Hubley Cup or the League Championship. Misconduct reports are usually for serious offences and punishments should carry over from one competition to another, as stated in the official league suspension:

"player must not participate in any SNS related activities."

2. Any player that received a 3rd or 5th yellow card (or red that did not
generate a misconduct report ie: 2 yellows) in the final game of the season will be suspended for the next game of the competition that they received the card ie: next summer season.

3. ALL yellow cards will be erased for the commencement of the League
Championship/Hubley Cup. However; previous actions will be considered (ie: repeat offenders) for any misconduct reports filed during the post season competitions.

We apologize for the last minute decision, however; this is consistent with what has been done in years past and we feel is fair to all players and
maintains the integrity of the league. Ignorance due to lack of understanding
of the rules will not be accepted as an explanation.

If you have any questions, concerns, or require clarification on individual
players please do not hesitate to contact myself directly.

Drew Turner
VP-HSL

2008 Post SeasonPlease see the schedule as it has been updated to reflect who plays when, where and vs. who.
The three groups are:Hubley CupLeague Playoffs&Provinvial Qualifying games.
Any questions, please contact the any of the following: Damien Ho, Drew Turner or Bill Perry

Card Carry Over

Please note, cards do NOT carry over into the Hubley Cup/Playoffs. Any suspensions DO carry over.

Any questions please contact us.

Soccer NS competition committee has changed the number of teams delegated to the provincials slightly. Our league is still guaranteed 3 spots to the tournament. However our league has been given a 4th wild card spot to play off against the 2nd place coming from the Valley League to determine the final provincial spot.

With the change, as per minutes from the May 2008 meeting, the top 3 spots from the regular season standings will be given the automatic berth into the tournament. The 4th and 5th place team will play a 2 game aggregate score series. The winner of this series will play the 2nd place Valley team. The executives is working on the schedule.

Although nothing is set, the Competition Committee expects the wild card game to be held on August 19th probably at Weir Field.

Men B provincials this year is held in the South Shore on August 23rd and 24th.

Please note the league decided to move two games on June 13th and June 19th. We wanted teams to avoid a three games in four nights scenario and that was what occured for Celtic Metros and Formation Halifax with the current scheduling.

June 19th game (Formation Halifax v HC Predators) is now moved to July 27th 11am at Dalhousie.

June 13th game (Coconut Grove v Celtic Metros) is now moved to July 27th 1pm at Dalhousie.

For the affected teams, please advise your members accordingly.

Thank you.

More than 48hours have passed since the CHSC vs. Rockingham game on Sunday April 13th and neither team posted any scores.
The result as per our rules and regulations is: 0-0 No Contest. Neither team shall receive points regardless of the outcome.

Nova Scotia Senior Men's 2nd Division Provincials (Results).

After a long weekend of Provincial qualifying games our HSL teams played hard fought games as best they could and two of
our three teams made it through to the final round.

Source played against Berwick for the bronze medal and Alumni Rigbound played against Quiet Thunder for the Gold.

* I did not get a chance to what the Source v. Berwick game, but was able to find out that Source lost to Berwick in their
match and finished in 4th. Unlucky gentlemen, but great work all season and in the tournament.

In the finals, Alumni Rigbound found them selves down 1 to Quiet Thunder at the half. Trevor Chisolm did his best to keep
Quiet Thunder's first goal out with an diving save on the first shot, and then got a piece of a second shot from the top of
the six yard box to keep the ball out of the net for the second time, but on the third shot (also from inside the 6), Quiet
Thunder managed to slip a ball past Chisolm's reach to take the lead.

(Halftime score - Alumni Rigbound - 0, Quiet Thunder - 1.)

Shortly into the second half, Jeff Hibberts had a ball sent to him, from Geoff Axell, behind his defender, somehow, Hibberts
managed to get get a shot off on Quiet Thunder's Keeper, and dropped in the back of the net to tie things up.

Quiet Thunder had an opportunity take the lead roughly half-way through the 2nd half on a hand-ball by full back, Steve
Cormier. Cormier was ejected from the game, I was told, due to a comment that had been made on his part. Alumni Rigbound
played the remainder of the game down one man. Quiet Thunder scored a penalty shot to take a 2 - 1 lead. With roughly
10 - 15 minutes left in the game, a Quiet Thunder defender was called for a hand ball in the box to give Alumni Rigbound a
chance to tie things up again with some time left on the clock. Axell, steped up to take the penalty shot and capitalized
with a goal.

The game ended in a 2 - 2 tie, which meant 2 full 15 minute halfs were to be played to detirmine a winner. Both teams were
digging deep for that last bit of energy after a long weekend of games, but neither team was able to capitalize in the 1st or
2nd half of the over times, which meant penalty shots. As one fan said, "...it's been the Trevor Chisolm show all game, so
why would this be any different?". Although both teams managed to score 4 of 5 shots, on Quiet in the first round.
Thunder's 6th shot (first of the elimination round), they pushed it wide of the net on Chisolm's right side. The 6th shooter
for Alumni (Glen MacDougal), stepped up and slipped his shot past the Quiet Thunder Keeper to win the Nova Scotia Senior
Men's 2nd Division Provincials.

I don't know if it was announced or not, but in my opinion, I would have to agree with the fan who praised Trevor Chisolm's
play, by giving him the "Player of the Game" award (if there was one this year).

Well done all weekend and all season in this years Regular season play.

With 46 points this year, they managed to finish 1st over all with a 19 - 3 - 1 record for the regular season, a 2 - 0 win
over Source Security in the finals of the League Playoffs and then to finish the season with a win at Provincials after only
2 seasons in the league is quite an accomplishment!


Congratulations Gentlemen!!

Regards,

Bill Perry
HSL - President.

Sunday concluded another summer season in the HSL. Game 1 saw OPA Taverna captured the Hubley Cup over DU-Chard with a 3-1 win.

League Update:

From the desk of the HSL executives:

Folks,

The regular season is soon coming to an end. Most teams have roughly 3 to 4 games remaining. This year has been quite competitve

The top 4 spots are up for grabs for the Provincials. The top 6 spots will play for the league championship. With the exception of the bottom few, mathematically many of the teams still have a chance for one of the 6 spots.

The race for the provincial spots are tight. Rockingham and Pogue Fado holding on to the 3rd and 4th spot currently but with 6 teams chasing them every game coming up will be crucial.

Reminder that at the end of the regular season the 7th to 18th place teams will play in a Cup tournament. The format was communicated to the team reps present at the last meeting.

Also, please update your scores as soon as possible so the administrator can get working on the playoff schedule.

Good luck on the pitch.

Summer Schedule - DELAY...
FYI to all teams...
I am still waiting for rosters from 6 teams. Until that info is sent in, the schedule can not be put up. An e-mail has been sent to the 6 teams and asked for their team rosters again.

Spring Session Correction

Please note, Due to head to head matchup, Celtic finished in 3rd place in the spring league and the Hurricanes finished in 4th. During the spring session, Celtic beat Hurricanes 3-1. Since the points standings are the same, head to head make up the difference!

** League Meeting May 24th **

There will be a pre-summer league meeting on May 24th at 7pm at Daltech (large room).

It is important that ALL teams have a representative at that meeting. The league will begin to implement a demerit system starting this summer season. Demerits will be calculated based on various items like forfeits, playing illegal players, not having a representative at league meetings, etc. It's a good start/practice on getting your rep to the meeting. We ask that you avoid doing double representation (ie: I represent both DU-Hubley and DU-Chard tonight).

The demerit system will be discussed in more details at the meeting. The following will be the payment schedule set out for the summer season. By now, all teams have paid at least $200 for the deposit. $1300 is owed by the following deadlines.

$500 due week of May 29th
$400 due week of June 19th
$400 due week of July 10th

If there's any questions, please drop me an e-mail.

Cheers,

Please note the indoor schedule for ALL games is now up. Please refer to the website as it is accurate. There have been some changes since the original schedule went out at the indoor meeting that was held in September/04. If anyone has any questions do not hesitate to contact us at hsl@soccerhalifax.com

The HSL's indoor season is scheduled to start on Nov. 1st at The Subway Indoor Facility in Clayton Park. The days and times are a bit different from last year's schedule due to a high demand by clubs and Tier 1 level leagues. You will notice that most of our games are going to be played on Mondays and Wednesdays with the odd game on Fridays and Sundays. Our hours are going to be 9pm - 11pm start times this year as oppose to the start time of 7pm that we were spoiled with last year. ** The main reason for this is because parents of youth teams requested earlier start times, which just makes sense. So we are not getting "left over times", we are simply helping to accommodate with the available times.

Schedule will be posted soon. There will be a hard copy of the schedule provided to all team reps at the Meeting that we have scheduled for October 13th at 7pm at Tuns, as per usual. (Please note the time change from 8pm to 7pm)

IF YOU ARE PLAYING IN THE INDOOR LEAGUE, YOU MUST HAVE TEAM REPRESENTATION WITH A $300.00 DEPOSIT. ALL OUTSTANDING BILLS ALSO NEED TO BE PAID UP AT THIS TIME.

On August 22nd at Wier field, there were two games scheduled. The Halifax Hurricanes vs. Africa United for 3rd and 4th spot in the playoffs and Athens vs. Rockingham for 1st and 2nd place in the playoffs.

Africa United was unable to field a team. This meant the Hurricanes finished 3rd in the playoffs due to a forfeit win.

The Rockingham vs. Athens game finished in a 3-1 win for Athens. It was a fun game to watch and lots of action. Goal Scorers were: for Rockingham - Dan Mason (Golden boot winner) and for Athens - Geoff Axel, Desi Lambert and Stephen Hart.

Thanks for another great summer season everyone. Good luck in provincials.

Please note the 1st round of the playoffs is coming to an end. The semi-finals and finals times and locations are now posted, we're just waiting to see who will fill the spots!

Any questions please contact Bill Perry - billperry@hfx.eastlink.ca
