RXL Reflections:
Most exciting game to watch – Essex Distortion Vs. Niagara Aces
Considering that
both of these teams have been riding near the top of the RXL division, one
would expect a close, exciting match and that’s exactly what these two teams
gave us! Essex came out with a quick 4-0 lead but the experienced Aces players
with the help of their coaching staff were able to adjust to the skilled Essex
playing styles. The game ended with Aces leading by only one point.

Most surprising game –
Niagara Aces Vs. King City Extreme
I am fairly
certain that nobody expected the outcome of this match. Niagara Aces have
proven themselves to be a VERY strong team -coming out of event 1 undefeated
and leading the season in points - with King City rounding out the middle of
the RXL pack. Unfortunately for the Aces crew, this match did not go according
to expectation. Instead, due to penalties and missing their coaching staff,
Niagara suffered a fairly significant loss to team Extreme. If you ask me, this
was the upset of the RXL season.
Most Impressive team at this event – Mississauga Hate
Judging by roster
alone, one would expect to see great things from this team and having only one
loss to another top team, Hate is showing their strength. Mississauga has now
faced all of their top competitors and remain only to play the lowest ranked teams,
Joyceville Venom and Vaughn Vipers. We can expect to see Hate battling it out
at NAX.
Weakest team – Vaughn Vipers
Vipers had only
one match this event and it happened to be against their closest matched competition
– Joyceville Venom. I gave these guys the benefit of the doubt and predicted
that this would be their opportunity to pull out a W. Unfortunately, they didn’t
quite pull it off finishing the match with a 7-7 tie. Vipers have yet to face
King City Extreme, Mississauga Hate, and Essex Distortion. Considering Hate is
leading the division and Essex has been great competition for the top teams, I
don’t foresee good things for Vaughn.

Team to watch out for at event 3 and team to most surpass
expectations- Dundas Demolition
Dundas is
currently sitting third in their division with 4 wins and 1 loss under their
belts. They had some very close games at Border Battle but managed to pull
through with wins over Joyceville Venom and King City Extreme. Demolition has
yet to play Guelph Silence, Essex Distortion, and Niagara Aces and they will
face them at Central Event 3. With continued hard work, I am confident that
they will show up ready to perform. That being said, they face some challenging
teams and they will have to come out forcefully to pull out wins over Essex and
Niagara. Either way, they will be strong
contenders for NAX.
Signing off,
