Good afternoon and welcome to the Nova Scotia Major Midget Hockey League. The league features 8 teams that represent all areas of the province. Each team plays a 35 game schedule and all 8 teams make the playoffs with the top team playing the last place team and so forth.

The winner of the Nova Scotia championship move on to the Atlantic championships and the winner of the Atlantics move on to the Telus Cup being held in Red Deer, Alberta.

Good Times In Leaf Land Continue

Well, been a while since I've posted. Kind of busy, but I was partly holding off to see how the Leafs made out in their next couple games. "On quite a tear" if I could describe it in 4 words or less. Good game last night against the Blues who are one of the league's hottest teams of late. They are still not in the playoffs, but are doing what I'd wanted them to do: concentrate on their game and not worry about the rest of the league. If they continue to win, they'll be there in the end. AND, if we DO have to take a look at the standings, they are 1 point out of 8th spot and have 1 and 2 games in hand on the teams in 7th and 8th, respectively.

That's enough about the Leafs. I don't like to toot my own horn with them because it seems to always come back and bite me. Let's write another article featuring the NSMMHL and what's going on in that league right now.
