Final Summer Stats

Team,
Here are the final statistics from the Summer 2011 campaign.
A loss in the Championship game wasn't so bad to take and it dropped us to 8-8-3 on the season which seemed about right.
After a 5-0 blistering start we then went 9 weeks without a W and really the run we made at the end saved the .500 season.
Good numbers here in particular we have to start with Steve Baker who finishes first in points (14) and first in penalties (8) for the Stat whore's dream double championship. Nice work Steve.
Jim Sullivan finishes second with 13 points on a nice comeback year for him. Nice to have him out there on the forward lines making things happen.
Rounding out the top five are Larry and Jeff (11) and Mike Daley (10) all of whom turned in nice performances over the summer. Good work boys.

As mentioned before the Mike Campbell Award goes to Baker. Eric Bauer was close behind Steve with 7 penalties but couldn't get over the top. It should be noted that the Namesake of the award had 6 penalties but this was only in 8 games played so his Pen Per Game number dwarfs the two guys ahead of him on the list. Just sayin'...

Clearly we've had a changing of the guard in the Nets this summer. Jon Cole who was an excellent find last winter continued his solid work playing about half of our games this summer. A 3.37 GAA is certainly acceptable for a D league hockey team.
Interesting that Jon's replacement Randy Dudek finished with a similar 3.60 GAA after playing 5 games with us.
We only saw last Winter's playoff star Jacob Marks once and he did win, and we'd love to see more of Jacob... if only he lived closer.

Good season everyone. Thanks for playing and see you in the winter!

I can't believe Bauer didn't have the most penalties.

Matty, I was definitely after that award through the middle games of the season.

I did start off the winter season on the right foot. I had two penalties this past week.
