Congratulations to the Ice. The most prolific team has done it again.
I thank you for the kind words that were expressed, both publicly and privately. I wish I could continue, but there are just too many reasons not to, right now. What the future holds, is anyone's guess. I will retain all the GM e-mail addresses, in case I can restart.
Thanks again.

It is with deep regret that I make the following announcement:
Upon completion of the finals between the Ice and Eclipse, I must suspend SHL operations.
It pains me to say this, but numerous factors have led me to this decision. Time
constraints are a major factor, but declining GM interest is also a real problem. There
are a few GMs who I could always count on to stay active, but sadly, not enough to stay
alive. The teams with no GM are only a portion of the problem. Some of the other teams
have had their GMs go absentee.
There have also been several personal life changes that have taken time and energy away from what I used to put into the league. While I still enjoyed it, the added pressures of real life have made that enjoyment less and less, since there was less and less time to spend with it. The rigorous off season is more than I can bring myself to do, right now. The last off season was drawn out, during my move to Florida, and the league paid a heavy price, in loss of interest. Another protracted off season would spell death, anyway, so why delay the enevitable. In order to get another season started in the same 3 weeks as we used to do, I would work many hours, hours that I no longer have to dedicate.
I want to thank you for being in the SHL. Without you, there would have been no SHL, period. Maybe, in the future, I will be able to start up again, but there is no guarantee. Twelve seasons, and seven years is a good run. I guess I will have to be happy with that.
Once again, thanks, and don't leave just yet! There is still a hell of a finals going on!

Bangor has taken the FAHL title, in the seventh game, against Boise. It took an overtime goal at 7:43 of the 1st OT to decide it.

I have been distracted, by being in the middle of selling my house in Pennsylvania. It
takes way too many phone calls, when doing it from over a thousand miles away. Once that
gets settled, I can spend more energy on the SHL.
