| #10 Beekman Moose (Slasher) The Beekman Moose almost did not qualify for the IICC. Due to a tie within the applications, they had to prove that they had what it took to compete on the IICC's Elite world stage by facing the Badass Blues in a sudden death qualifying match. The Moose won by a score of 4-3 and as a result, earned the final spot in the IICC's USA Division. Don't be fooled by the fact that they were the last to qualify. They possess incredible talent and are quite capable of beating anyone on any given night. Sadly, due to the delay in the Moose's qualifying, they were forced to push back their matches and as of this writing, have yet to play an IICC game. Accomplishments: (as of 03/23/04) (Division 6-1-1-1) Elite Cup Champion, Champions Shield Winner, Beer Cup Winner, Super Cup Winner, 5 League Cups, 4 Playoff Cups. |

| Coach Says: (actually his words) I can't believe we were invited to play in the prestigious Iggy International Championship Cup. It's a great honor. These guys have really been working to deserve this kind of recognition, and I'm so proud of them..... except of their passing skills. I think I'll call extra practices every day from now until our first IICC game. |
| Team Name Origin: (his words again) When I first logged on to SLH, I was given a team named Shanksville Moose, who sucked. But the whole division sucked, so I was able to put them on a winning track. We started in division 6-1-2, and got promoted to 6-1-1, where we've been ever since. The Shanksville Moose qualified for the first ever Iggy Cup just by being there and saying why not? We soon learned how much room we had for improvement by setting records that will probably stand forever for the worst performance in the history of the Iggy Cup. Check out the final Iggy Cup 1 standings here When SLH did their big update, I felt it was time to update the Moose too, so I moved them to Beekman, a town in New York where I used to live. I stuck with Moose mainly for consistency, but I kind of like it too. This move was described in the BotR 3 forum:. Post subject: Author: slasher@iggy Posted: 20 Oct 2003 17:10 The Moose made some changes over the summer, moving from Shanksville to Beekman. Shanksville had never been anything but a great hockey town, and always supported the Moose. But the Beekman town council was hungry for a team and put together a package of tax incentives and public funding for new rink - the state-of-the-art Beekman Multiplex. None of that seems to have helped much. The Moose opened their Has-Been season at home, and got soundly trounced by a bunch of Drunken Fishermen. Beekman Moose looked pleased when they only lost 7 - 2. They knew it could have been much much worse. Few fans showed up, and even fewer stayed for the third period. Several players were overheard muttering that they never should have moved from Shanksville.

What's the matter bambam14, didn't they teach you that in general manager school? I see you're still a Student of the game, so if you'll allow me to be your mentor, here's a quick lesson on how to bilk taxpayers for fun and profit..... First, sell some key local businessmen on the idea. Construction company owners are key. Bar and restaurant owners are also good. Enlist local land owners to help choose the candidate sites. These people will be your board of directors. Next, these guys make contributions to the political campaigns of the councilmen. It doesn't matter what party they are, and be sure to donate to all candidates so whoever gets elected is beholden to the board. Now the council votes to raise taxes or sell bonds to fund the new sports arena. Tell the pathetic voters that we need to do this to create jobs. That's a good one. Also it doesn't hurt to dedicate a portion of the profits from concessions to support local schools. Everyone knows that kids these days are becoming derelicts, and the schools always need more money. Now, do the same thing in a nearby rival town so you can stir up civic pride to help bolster your case. If we don't cough up some cash, those morons over in Loserville sure will, and there will be a giant sucking sound as all our jobs go down the highway. Then our daughters might even marry their sons.... Oh I can't take it! Quick, quick.... Here's all my money! Soon enough you'll get your arena and new uniforms at the start of every playoff season |
| #15 Ekebyholm Vikings (Svensks40) The Vikings have only thing on their minds, the quest for victory! They find themselves currently being one of the few winless teams in the IICC, but whatever you do, don't let that fool you. They're a force to be reckoned with just as their name "Vikings" suggests. Their early IICC losses should be a cause for concern for their future opponents. Why? Because these Vikings are very hungry for their first win and look forward to feasting on an unsuspecting Nordic team sometime in the very near future. Accomplishments: (as of 03/25/04) (Division 6-1-4-1) Last season's Champion's Shield Runner-up, 4 League Cups, 5 Playoff Cups |

| Coach Says: (actually his words) I am really proud of all my players! Ulrik Nielsson still in his 5th season is puttin up miraculous numbers stopping every puck shot his way. Berg and Fjorberg are gunning down the opposing forwards, clearing the crease, and scoring HUGE come back goals from the Blueline. I've been adding great young boys to the team, Forsberg, Magnusson, Holmstrom, Engdall, and Lantz. I hope they grow to their full career high with my Team. I'd sadly like to thank David Engblom and Mathias Tjarnqvist for the great contribution to the Vikings. They both announced after the loss to Garden Warriors that this season shall be there last. As of NOW the Ekebyholm Vikings shall change their game and make a heroic comeback in the league 1, division 4. So the last words...BE VERY AFRAID ERINDALE SPITFIRES AND FREUDIAN SLIP, MY VIKINGS ARE COMING!! Heja Sverige! and good luck to all teams in the IICC. |
| Team Name Origin: (his words again) Well first Ekebyholm is the school in sweden where my brother stays at...he used to go there now he goes to stockholm university. Ekebyholm is a tight name too haha. Vikings is a great scandinavian thing so ill keep that to my swedish team....and it will be worn proudly!!! |

| #20 Foxham Tigers (MStyles) huh The 20th and lowest ranked team in the IICC just love to sneak up and pounce on their opponents. They are currently hunting down a playoff spot in the UK Division. They've already caught a few teams off guard by stunning coaches who must've been expecting an easy win against the lowest ranked IICC team. They hope other teams will continue to under-estimate them and their skills all the way to and thru the playoffs. The Tigers are one of the many up and coming teams currently playing on the Iggy Server and will easily be one of the top teams within the next few seasons. Accomplishments: (as of 03/25/04) (Division 3-3-1-NW) 2 League Cups, 2 Playoff Cups. |
|
| Coach Says: (actually his words) I started managing this team just before the half way stage of last season, and as you see I am not doing too badly in the division, but am struggling a little in the IICC due to the teams in the comp being of much higher standard to mine at the moment, am in the stage of rebuilding this team. But one thing is for sure I will give any team a good game. I have 4 games to play in the IICC and if I can win another 2, I would be happy with my teams position I think second spot is not out of my reach but I may have to settle for third which would be OK for this time. |
| Team Name Origin: (his words again) Huh LOL .... Seriously though the name is the village I live in Foxham in Wiltshire in the UK, I have another team on the Python server called Foxham Wildcats, I decided to call this one Tigers as I like Tigers, the players names are all people I work with. If I have a disagreement with any of them, I either transfer them or change their name, I am the BOSS lol Huh. |

| #1 Garden Warriors (Rammers) The #1 ranked team at the start of the IICC. They've proven that they deserve their high ranking and currently sit atop the Nordic Division. They are definitely one of the strongest teams in the IICC and one of the teams expected to win it all. One look at everything they've accomplished and you'd soon see, these Warriors mean business. They learned in the early stages of divisional play not to take anyone lightly when they, along with the rest of the IICC were shocked with a loss to the Lulea Wildcats. They've learned from this past mistake and vow to not only avenge the loss, but to not under-estimate anyone for the rest of the tournament. Accomplishments: (as of 03/25/04) (Division 5-1-1-1) Elite Cup Winner, 2 Champions Shields, Beer Cup, 2 Super Cups, World Cup, 8 League Cups, 8 Playoff Cups |

| Team Name Origin: (his words again) The teams was originally called Penn Station Warriors and started out playing street hockey near Madison Square Garden in New York. This was in 1999. After a few seasons we thought it was time to hit the ice and join a beer league. We checked around for a few months and found that the only one willing to accept our application was Senior League Hockey. We came up with the super idea of challenging the New York Rangers into a street hockey game. When they finally accepted in November 2002, we demanded that if we won the game, we should be awarded to play our SLH home games in their practice rink. And since we totally kicked their butts - we had found ourselves a - temporarily - home ground. Our ultimate goal was no less than to become the most entertaining hockey team in New York, and like the Rangers, play our home games in Madison Square Garden. We joined SLH in the 2002-03 season, when there was an opening in C5-L3-D1. Norwegian Ronnie Miller (rammers) was appointed team manager. This was the first season on Iggy and we started out with 20 games left of the season. We made another bet with the Rangers - they just laughed and said - “yeah right… if you sad excuse for a hockey team, get yourselves promoted into League 2 and winning the playoffs the first season - we will make sure that you lot will warm-up for us in the Garden from season 2003-04. Ha-ha-ha, that was a good one”. But we didn’t start our SLH career so hot… We tied the #16 ranked team in the opener and then lost our next two games. What to do? Well, since we were lucky enough to get 2000 credits when joining, we could afford some fresh blood. The team was lacking skills in every department, but the manager decided that the best way to spend the credits; was to invest some of it in one new player and uses the rest of the money for some serious pub-crawling. The manager had one of his best moments and got the bright idea - “if we always score more goals than the other team, we should be able to win a few games sooner or later…”. So the 37-year old Doctor Feelgood, with 70 in shooting skill was picked up from the waiver market for the minimum bid of 800 credits. And little did we now, that when he was put into the #4 slot in our roster, we had hit the jackpot. The next game was against Oslo Kings, who soon enough became our long lasting division rivals on the way up the pyramid system. Doctor Feelgood was flying high and scored all our goals in a stunning 5-4 OT win. And with the puck-hog Feelgood in the team we had an amazing streak and ended up with a 17-2-1 record that first season. That was good enough to claim 2nd place and promotion. The Warriors cruised through the playoff and grabbed the cup with a sensational 11-0 victory in the final. And when lifting the trophy - the players and fans went completely bananas - chanting “we are the champions, we are the GARDEN WARRIORS! Doc Feelgood recorded 120 goals in 20 games that first season. And since he was often double-shifted, he soon dressed in jersey #44. Doc had a long and superb career with the team - he played 8th full seasons and scored 1259 goals in 360 games. The #44 jersey is retired. |

| Coach Says: (actually his words) After that first season and the promotion to 5-2-4, the Warriors have never looked back. We won both division and playoff 7 times in a row and were promoted to the top level - division 1 premier - before last season. And we clinched the league 1 division 1 title as well in or first outing with the big boys. But was soon to feel the pressure at the top of the pyramid, when we got a good beating at the hands of Nutbush Warriors in the playoff final. Over the years the team have had some great profiles and has always been pretty well balanced. During the first seasons our main goal were to get good enough to take on and give the best pre-update team on the server, Animated Jokers/Schmed a good fight for their money. Schmed and I started the first ex games tourney on this server, the Iggy Cup, back in 2005-06. The Jokers was totally untouchable, and won the 3 back-to-back Iggy Cups before Schmed left SLH, midway through season 2008-09 (the first season after the update). My Warriors were lucky enough to break the Jokers unbeaten streak of 50-something tough tourney ex games, at the end of Iggy Cup 3. The Warriors had finally become a force to fear and watch out for. We played four Iggy Cups before retiring after season 2009-10. Our Iggy Cup record is 3-x-2-2-1. And season 2009-10 was an especially good one for the Warriors and their manager. Garden Warriors “stole” all the silverware on Iggy that season; winning the Champions Shield & Elite Cup, Beer Cup, Super Cup, Division & Playoffs, Iggy Cup, clinching no.1 position on the ex games standings and their boss also became the no.2 manager of the year. After this “monster” season a few veterans and star players seemed to have forgot the team motto “no player is bigger than the team itself”. So even with a team more “stacked” than ever last season, we lost some edge and the team has had some ups and downs. It seemed like the players didn’t “click” anymore. Several key players were also hitting the 7-career limit, so the manager decided to start a much-needed re-building process. Just recently the Warriors seems to have something good going on again, so we are really looking forward to the rest of the IICC tournament. There are several dangerously talented teams in this tourney, but the Warriors surely have room for a new cup in the trophy case… |
| #14 Haverhill Cats (Dwakeling) The Haverhill Cats are one of the more quieter teams in the IICC, but don't be fooled by their lack of trash talk. These Cats can be very vicious and sneaky. They have many games remaining and could very easily claw their way to the top to represent the UK when it comes time for inter-regional matchups in the IICC. Once a bottom dweller of a team, they now possess a veteran SLH manager who is quite capable of beating any team when he is able to put his full concentration into setting up his line-up. Accomplishments: (as of 03/28/04) (Division 1-2-1-N) 2 League Cups, 3 Playoff Cups |

| Coach Says: (actually his words) When I came to the helm of this club, they were in a sorry state of brankrucy and last in the league and on a losing streak like you would never know. They had come last in the first 5 seasons of there existence. Thats when I got the shout. I had been managing night on the town on the python league for some time and had 7 straight years of winning seasons under my belt. So Mr Cheesypuffs asked me to take over this team with only 6 games to go in the season. With a couple of quick changes, I managed to get them up to 5th and miss out of promotion on goal differential, so into the play-offs we went and blew the opposition away. My first full season in charge seen us gain promotion and win the play-offs again. Determind to go one better, I tweaked the team a little to go 30-0-0-0 and ran away with the league and won the play-offs for a third straight time. Last season again saw the team go 30-0-0-0 but a slip up in the play.offs (me not setting my team) cost us dearly. I am very proud to be a part of this team and will be a force to be reckoned with within the next couple of seasons. As for the IICC competition, we have only lost once but again that was due to the fact that my wife was in hospital at the time as I have since put the record straight with a massive 5-1 win over Foxham for revenge. Everybody is saying Wawatosa Moose is going to walk away with the league i would just like to say bring it on it ain't over till the fat lady sings. I wish i could set my lines more for ex games as i would have a much better win ratio. |
| Team Name Origin: (his words again) My team name originates from the place where i am from Haverhill in England. The cats part is just their nickname |

| #19 Hoegsbo StreetCats (Frodo82) The controversial StreetCats are one of the more nationally known teams in the IICC. They were a last minute qualifier replacing the Tre Kroners who were ousted due to a failed drug test. The StreetCats have one thing on their minds at all times, winning! Their manager has been known to be very vocal and tends to use his verbal skills to get his players mentally ready for big games. The StreetCats have already proven they belong with some key victories in the early going of the IICC. They are also the only team in the IICC which has a website for its fans, you can visit them by clicking here. They are one of the top teams in the IICC despite being ranked #19, so managers should be ready to play their best when they face the StreetCats. They currently reign supreme in the land of 8-1-1-1. Accomplishments: (as of 03/28/04) (Division 8-1-1-1) 6 League Cups, 6 Playoff Cups |
|
| Coach Says: (actually his words) We look forward to play in the IICC inaugural issue, to become one of the Original 20. We have come a long way since 1997.. During the franchise's first years in SLH, we were very much in need of our young pickup Markus Crawler, he could fire up to 30 shots a game down in league 2. Top that with his 30% scoring percentage and you get the deal.. We were disqualified from the Champions Shield three years in a row from 2005 to 2007 after winning first round victories each time. The first year was becouse of the Jimi Watchtower incident, the time the team was group-charged for the trashing of Vancouver City Hall.(Read more about the Jimi Watchtower incident by clicking here) In 2006, we actually ran out of funds and had to withdraw, and the year after the whole Champions Shield was cancelled so i guess what i just said was about 2/3 a lie.. Our strength is our width, we play like a team and help each other out, not like the other teams in Nordic that is. |
| Team Name Origin: (his words again) The StreetCats were formed in 1997 in Gothenburg, Sweden, playing Streethockey in a local league called HHHS. The name sprung out of the fact that we played on the local ashphalt, followed by the note that so many homeless kitties strawled the streets around there. You know streetcats? Many opponents liked to ?haul? the name, while calling their own teams such original things as Badboys, Bluefire and Dreamteam... Hoegsbo is a despelling of Hgsbo, a small part of Gothenburg. We have the distinction of being the first hockey team ever from that area, and nowadays the most successful as well.. The name was picked by coach Fredrik Vilborg and first hand rated by his brother Conny Torstensson, now leading the rival Hoegsbo StreetDogs. The dogs are only a plague though.. |

| #6 Lincolnshire Lincs (Jeff) The Lincs are truly an outstanding team that show a great amount of dedication along with skill whenever they take to the ice. Their game has been constantly improving over the last few seasons and the evidence can be found in their win column. They seemed to come out of nowhere the last few seasons and have demonstrated a dominance that is sure to intimidate any opponent. Unfortunately as of this writing they were eliminated from making the IICC playoffs but it should be noted that they would most likely have qualified had they been in any division other than the talent filled USA Division. It is doubtful the Lincs will stay down, look for them to return in IICC2 better than ever. Accomplishments: (as of 03/29/04) (Division 3-1-1-1) 6 League Cups, 6 Playoff Cups |
|
| Coach Says: Coach was unable to be reached for comments, they were busy practising for the next IICC. |
| Team Name Origin: (his words again) The name Lincolnshire Lincs refers to fire department that I work for. The name Lincs just seemed to fit. This is my original team that I started SLH. This team started at the bottom of barrel. The team members, which I'm proud to say, were 90% bought from the minimal amount and trained to were they are today. |

| #18 Lulea Wildcats (Pilsner) The Lulea Wildcats are an up and coming group with a manger who is hungry for success. Early in the IICC, these Wildcats stunned the world with a victory over the #1 ranked Warriors. Not only did the big win give the Nordic teams a wake up call, but it caused the rest of the teams in the IICC to take notice as it is a rare site to see the legendary Warriors on the losing side of the scoreboard. The Wildcats are still hungry and look to satisfy their appetite with an IICC. Will they be able to continue their "Giant Killing" habits or will they succomb to their fellow Nordics? Only time will tell. No doubt the Wildcats' future looks very promising and should lead to a good chunk of glory years. Accomplishments: (as of 04/05/04) (Division 2-1-2-1) 1 League Cup, 2 Playoff Cups |
|
| Coach Says: (actually his words) Lulea Wildcats originates from a town in northern Sweden that goes by the name (yepp you guessed it) Lulea. Actually the 'a' should be an 'aring;' instead but since most of the world doesn't recognise it I just used an 'a' instead. The Wildcats part of the name comes from the very fact that I like cats, and that there are some wildcats of the type 'lynx' up here in the north. And since an other famous (real) hockey team up here call themselves Lulea Bears, it seemed quite fitting and it also matched the shirts we got from SLH. A name change is imminent, since we've recently recruited bass players for all positions, so in the future you might know us as Bass Pale Ale instead, if the board accepts it. |
| Team Name Origin: (his words again) Since I took care of the team around 2004 (SLH-time) we've climbed steadily in the league system. This trend will continue until we reach the premier division. Wildcats are not to be played with, and although sometimes lazy and uninterested, the claws and teeth are always present. We have a broad team were anyone can prove to be the decisive part in a game and Wildcats can beat anyone, but only be beaten by a few (probably by all teams in the IICC though). |

| #9 Meaford Mallards (Tahsoan) The Meaford Mallards may have finished last in the Canada Division, but they can take comfort in their very close IICC Divisional results. They are a tough team who lost 2 close games (1 needed OT) to the division leading Buzz 3-2. The fact they finished with 4 points is proof that they are a team on the rise and could be a threat to represent Canada in IICC2. The Mallards are a quiet team who prefer to let their on-ice skills do all the talking as their (at the time of this writing) 18-7-1-2 SLH exhibition record clearly points out. A word to future IICC participants, if you see the Mallards coming, don't duck! Be prepared for a tight contest because if you're not, your goalie may be very upset with the loss he will have just received. Accomplishments: (as of 04/08/04) (Division 4-1-3-1) 4 League Cups, 3 Playoff Cups |
|
| Coach Says: (His Words Again) I am a 20 year old manager, about to graduate from a Computer Network Admin program in Ottawa, ON. This is my last semester in rez where I have been having the time of my life. After school I hope I will have more free time, and will be able to compete in more SLH events. This is currently my 6th season on SLH. I started purchasing waivers 5 seasons ago after I found an interest in the game. Started competing in exhibition matches 3 seasons ago, and this is my second season attending the odd knockout tourney. I really liked my time in the IICC. I plan on applying again next tournament to represent my Country, and feel (hope) that next season's outcome will be better than this season's. |
| Team Name Origin: (His Words) Okay the team name stems from my home town where i spent most of my growing up in Meaford, in Georgian Bay on Lake Huron, Ontario. I chose my mascot to be a Mallard, because they are abundant in the area, and they had an appropriate jersey for them. |

| Team History(Coach Says): (actually his words) Well for the first 1 and1/2 seasons the team was named the Montreal Sharks. They were a bunch of pansy assed last place finishers and team management had enough. They decided they needed a tough, grind it out type of team, but the first problem was finding a tough as nails, no non-sense coach who could lead this team properly. The Problem? Where do you find such a coach? The Management decided they would have to look in one of the toughest places in the world. The streets of New York City. There they found thier coach. Laboring as a Sergeant on the New York City Police for 15 years was John Corbett. Corbett accepted management offer only if he could have the duel role of Coach and General Manager, and management agreed. Corbett's first player move was to recruit a 32 year old Center to be the Captain of his team. His name was Mark Messier. Although he didn't have the finesse scoring touch as fellow MVP canidates Dr Feelgood of the Titan Garden Warriors, or Buzz Dagain Jr of the Giant Toronto Buzz. Messier earned his keep by playing hard nosed, grind it out, old school hockey. Along with fellow Free Agent Gary Belliveu they led the NY Junk Yard Dogs to respectability. Messier will soon retire as he has now entered his 8th season. I would love to stay around for the duration of the International Iggy Cup, But I don't think my knees will allow me to, I look forward to joining my good friend Dr Feelgood on the links at Pebble Beach. Coach Corbett went on to say that the team is in transition from the old stars to new ones. We will miss Mark and Gary and we know our fans will too, but we hope they will enjoy our new stars John Corbett, Glen Smith, Brian Leetch and Dave Moody. The Dogs look forward to the chance to represent our country in the International Cup and we hope that our fans will continue to support our Tough nosed Old School style of Hockey! God Bless The Junk Yard Dogs |
| #7 NY JunkYard Dogs (Corbs) The NY JunkYard Dogs have been taking big bites out of their opponents thus far in the IICC. As of this writing, they have already qualified for the IICC Playoffs. They have ascended to the top of the USA Division, quite the accomplishment when you look at the talent of their IICC divisional rivals. Not only did they qualify, but they did it in a convincing fashion as they have yet to lose in regulation time. These Dogs are vicious, and will protect a win at any cost. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed, as their current 6 game unbeaten streak not only etched them a spot in the IICC record books, it has also caused other playoff bound teams to keep a close eye on the upcoming USA playoff series. Will the JunkYard Dogs own the IICC yard? They have a very good chance to do just that! Accomplishments: (as of 04/05/04) (Division 5-1-4-1) Champions Shield Winner, Super Cup Winner, 6 League Cups, 7 Playoff Cups |
|
| Team Name Origin: (his words again) The team was named after the nickname of a line I play on my REAL hockey team. I have even named three SLH players after the guys on my line, Glen Smith, John Corbett (me) and Dave Moody. We got the nickname because we play Grinding, no finesse, in your face Hockey. We aren't pretty but we get results! Our Motto is Good things happen when you go to the Net. Alot of times this includes taking crosschecks in the back while anchored in the slot, but hey you have to pay the price to get the win. |

| #16 Oiltown Riggers (TMF12) The Oiltown Riggers struggled early in the IICC and were not able to recover in time to make a serious push towards the playoffs. But don't let their finish fool you, one look at their SLH Division and you'd see, they are quite capable of dishing out beatings. They currently(at time of this writing) sit tied atop SLH's ultra-tough 5-1-1 division where they have even managed to lead the IICC's #1 ranked Garden Warriors in points. They even have a win this season against the legendary Warriors. The Riggers represent the west coast of Canada and do it to the delight of all their fans. The current IICC has been a learning experience for them and they should be a huge threat when it comes time for IICC2. Accomplishments: (as of 04/08/04) (Division 5-1-1-1) Super Cup,5 League Cups, 5 Playoff Cups, 3 Time Champions Shield Runner Up |

| Coach Says: (His Words Again) When I was approached by the president of Encana Oil and Gas about managing a team of oilfield personnel I thought he and his entire committee were nuts. Then I saw some of the names on the roster and I became less skeptical. Then I saw these guys play and I was sold. These guys love to play old school hockey, Eddie Shore style and still have loads of talent to skate and pass with the best of them. The scary thing is they're just starting to come into their own. Everybody out their in Iggy server land better keep your head up!! The Riggers are coming for you!! |
| Team Origin: (His words) The Oiltown Riggers are named of my hometown of Edmonton, Alberta. And as I work in the oil and gas field that expands the province of Alberta, I thought I would name the team after the area's primary resource. Now the team cosists mainly of rig hands and oilfield service personnel who have are being sponsored by the industry to represent Northern Alberta in Senior League Hockey. We are fortunate enough to have many relatives of NHL players on our team. Some born and raised in Northern Alberta, including Luke Bouwmeester and Chris Isbister. Some immigrated with their brothers who now play for the Oilers such as Andy Hemsky and Adam Semenov and others. We have been with SLH since the beginning and had a great deal of success right off the bat, finishing 2nd in league play and eventually winning the playoff title that first year. Four more consecutive playoff titles followed until the Premier Division of 5-1-1 was reached and despite taking the division title the playoffs were lost to the reigning champion Come by Chance who has since retired. Moderate success has been obtained in 5-1-1 with 2 division titles and 1 playoff title. As the division continues to grow and become more challenging, a recent rebuild has left the Oiltown Riggers in a strong position to add to their trophy chest. As long as the money continues to flow from the oil and gas industry of Northern Alberta, the Oiltown Riggers will compete in the IICC, Iggy Cup and 5-1-1. |

| #17 Oulu Cobras (Juho) The Oulu Cobras possess a veteran manager who looks to unleash his own brand of hockey venom each and every time he leads his guys out onto the ice. The only IICC team representing Finland, the Cobras put their elite skills to work whenever they hit the pond. A newer team to the Iggy server circuit, they are quickly becoming a team to look out for. Their Iggy accomplishments don't do their manager justice as he has accomplished many more notable achievements through out SLH server-wide championships. As of this writing, they are not IICC-Playoff bound, but its safe to say, they will try to slither their way into future versions of the IICC Playoffs. Accomplishments: (as of 04/09/04) (Division 3-1-4-1) 3 League Cups, 2 Playoff Cups, Super Cup, Beer Cup |
|
| Coach Says: (His Words Again) Cobras is pretty young team with loads of talent and all players are very dedicated to improve and do their best night after night although they have quite long road trips from Finland across the Atlantic ocean. only 6 awols so far this season gives good idea of this dedication. |
| Team Origin: (His words) Team name was decided easily as all my teams on every server are Oulu something. i have Jaws, Eagles, Lions, Reindeers and Gorillas too. Cobras are fearsome to the opponent and as you can see all (99% of them) players are venomous (or just familiar) snakes. upcoming superstars like _Taipan, Diamondback Rattlesnake, Green Mamba and Burmese Python are maybe worth special mention ;) |

| Coach Says: (His Words Again) Reg doesn't talk much. That's why he pawned this off on me. Your the media relations schmuck! You do it! The nice thing is he doesn't want to read it first, so here's what I think Reg would say. Our fans are the best damn fans in the world. They work in the mills and the mines. They work hard. They play hard too and they insist on that effort from the Rinkmasters. They drink hard as well and that's why we love 'em. There isn't a player on this team that hasn't been showered with beer when he's played well. In fact, there isn't a player on this team that hasn't been showered with beer when he's stunk up the joint. The moral here, Beers Showers are GOOD, damn good. This team started in Conference 5, NE League 3, Division 4. That's right! We didn't take the easy way out and find some team already in the top divisions. We started at the bottom and we've fought our way up the ladder, just like our fans fight every damn day just to put food on the table. We just missed out on promotion in the first season under current ownership. Finished second the next season and have finished first every year since. To the best of my memory we've lost one league game the last seven seasons. If there was another one I was drunk in some hotel room with Hanrahan's wife and her girlfriend. (Hey, everyone knows about Hanrahan's wife.) Just remember, if you want to a see a hockey team that works hard and emulates its fans....That offers an affordable night of family entertainment (just make sure you say, ear muffs a lot to the little ones if you bring them to the rink)...That keeps the beer cold and the women hot (even Hanrahan's wife)...Then make sure you come to the War Memorial the next time you're in town and watch your Chiefs, I mean, Radio Rinkmasters kick some a**. Or my name's not Reg Dunlop! (at least I think Reg would say something like that.) Jim Carr, media relations and radio announcer |
| Team Origin: (His Words) Once we convinced the widow to sell the team the rest was easy. Well, sort of. The Chiefs were a gritty team loved by everyone in town, but after the deception, mismanagement and threats to move to Florida, we had to change the name once we took over. The most difficult thing was to convince the immortal Reg Dunlop to stay on as coach. Convincing him not to be a player-coach was a lengthy process, but once we replaced the team bus (and the driver who kept beating it with a baseball bat ....making it look mean my ass) Reg was more than willing to take the job. Oh yeah, Reg had it put in his contract. The organist isn't allowed to play Lady of Spain. Why is your team named the Radio Rinkmasters?? Our owner works in the broadcasting industry and wanted a tie between that and hockey. His name remains a mystery. We like the French players asking, Who own da Chiefs? Yes, the team is Radio Rinkmasters, the damn goalie still calls us da Chiefs. Oh well, anyway, we also like the alliteration. |

| #2 Radio Rinkmasters (Dunlop) The Rinkmasters had a rough outting in first ever IICC. Coming into the to the tourney, the Rinkmasters had high hopes. Their talented roster lead the IICC to rank them #2 overall. They had a few unlucky breaks, and due to the short nature of the IICC's schedule, it proved costly. Don't anticipate mastering the Rinkmasters easily though. They're a dangerous team who knows their way around the ice that won't stop at nothing til they succesfully school the other team, whether or not they win or lose. The Rinkmasters are a team on the rise, and should be a threat in upcoming IICCs. So to those potential teams pondering their applications to the USA Division in the future, consider this your warning, beware the Rinkmasters. Accomplishments: (as of 04/10/04) (Division 5-2-1-N) 6 League Cups, 6 Playoff Cups |

| #13 Stanningly Misfits (NYRhockey27/Trig) The Stanningly Misfits are a struggling team looking to rebound and rebuild after a tough IICC journey. The only IICC team to not earn a win, they seemed to be bogged down with management trouble throughout the course of the tourney. The team which once enjoyed SLH now find themselves in search of a fix-me-up cure. The team is now owned by its former owner, Corbs, the owner of the NY JunkYard Dogs. Specualtion has it he will be handing the team off to the owner of the Hoegsbo StreetCats, Frodo82. One can only hope new management will lead this misguided team back to its former champion status. Accomplishments: (as of 04/19/04) (Division 2-1-1-1) 5 League Cups, 5 Playoff Cups, 2 Champion Shields, a Beer Cup |
|
| Coach Says: (his words again) This is my first season in a premier league as i took over the team this season. We are not doing badly really and are 6th in League 1 Division 1. This is probably where we will finish the season as it is a position that we have held for the majority of the season and the team ahead of us is too far,realistically(spelt that wrong?), to catch. I do still aim to give the team away agin at the end of the season as te players attributes are declining this season. Overall i will hve enjoyed the time managing at the top and am hoping to still notch up a victory in the IICC in my remaining fixtures. Thankyou nyrhockey27 and trig(Stanningley Power) |
| Team Name Origin: (his actual words) (NYRHockey27 aka Trig) My team are called the Stanningley Misfits as I live in a small place in Leeds called Stanningley. You could say that this is its origin. As for the 'misfits' part i don't know why this is what it is. When i took over the team at the start of the season they were the Corbett's Misfits so i simply kept the misfits part. |

| #5 Team Medusa (Vbretton) Team Medusa are a team who are a severe threat to stone their opponents each and every time they take to the ice. They possess a SLH legend for a manager and they know the game inside and out. Their manager has enjoyed tremendous success across ALL the SLH servers and Vbretton is well known server-wide. Though some people question his accomplishments, there is no denying the fact Vbretton continues to dominate. His entry into the IICC put an end to his critics who claimed he was avoiding stiff competition. Not only did he show up, but Medusa are now playoff bound as they have managed to craw their way out of the IICC's ultra tough USA Division. Will he claim the highly coveted IICC? Only time will tell. He definitely has the experience! Need proof? Check out his long list of accomplishments. UPDATE MEDUSA BOOTED FOR FAILED IQ TEST! Accomplishments: (as of 04/19/04) (Division 1-1-1-1) 7 League Cups, 7 Playoff Cups, 2 Champion Shields, 8 Beer Cups, 4 Super Cups, 3 World Cups |
|
| Team Name Origin & Coach Says Combined: (his actual words) Team Medusa is named after my wife who stares at you and you die. Secondly, After many seasons of playing I have yet to recieve any respect from anyone. I have played hard and won many games. I have supported the team's and tried my best. Sometimes life is more inportant then setting your team or lines correctly or you just cant get there and nobody should be knocked for this. Its a way to take your mind away from life, and when it becomes other then that who can play? I do have a few teams to sell or trade for credits. DDDD on Iggy Bretton on Croc |

| #12 Thunderhawks (Rodney9) The Thunderhawks thundered their way through the Canadian opponents and are playoff bound. They are a dangerously talented team with a even more dangerous manager. They got off to one of the best starts in the IICC going 6-0 in their 1st 6 games. They suffered some key losses in their final two games against the Toronto Buzz but they look to avenge these losses when they meet up with them in the IICC Playoffs. Accomplishments: (as of 04/23/04) (Division 1-1-3-P) 6 League Cups, 6 Playoff Cups, Super Cup, World Cup |
|
| Coach Says: Coach was busy preparing for the IICC playoffs and could not be reached for comments. |

| #8 T.O. Psycho (CC86) The T.O. Psycho team are a crazy talented team. They entered the IICC hot on the heels of their most successful seasons to date as they had captured the Iggy server's ultra-prestigious Elite Cup. They could have very easily been playoff bound had they not received so many unlucky bounces in their IICC games. But make no mistake, the Psycho team are a force to be reckoned with. They currently sit atop Iggy's 2-1-1 division while showing no signs bowing dow to anyone. Their roster is mainly full of players who used to play for the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs. Perhaps they were all psycho enough to throw on a T.O.Psycho jersey. Accomplishments: (as of 04/25/04) (Division 2-1-1-P) 6 League Cups, 4 Playoff Cups, Beer Cup, Elite Cup |

| #4 Toronto Buzz (Onekrazypuck) The Toronto Buzz just love to buzz their opponents. Their Canadian style of "take no prisoners" hockey can often trick teams into thinking they have them beat, only to discovered they get buzzed at the end of the game. A odd group of very high calibre players fill their dressing room. The Buzz are currently battling the dreaded old-age syndrome. Luckily, their manager has many years of SLH experience and he should be able to overcome the "7th season blues" The Buzz reached the top of the Conference 1 this season, where they were expected to get lost in the pack. How did they do? They duked it out with some of the best and were undefeated on their way to finishing 1st place. No doubt, conference 1-1-1 got "buzzed!" Accomplishments: (as of 04/25/04) (Division 1-1-1-P) 7 League Cups, 8 Playoff Cups, 4 Beer Cups, Champions Shield (post-update) |
|
| Coach Says: My guys are a very talented hockey team, no matter how red their eyes are. They continue to make the owners and management of the Toronto Buzz proud so I basically let them do what they want to, even though I sometimes have to leave the dressing room when it gets a little on the smokey side. I have had the priviledge to coach many great athletes during my time as the coach of the Buzz. From the now retired Hugh Stoner to the one-time Iggy MVP Buzz DagainJR, I've been lucky to coach such greatness. Nowadays, Harry Upandroll and Howie Getzstoned lead the Buzz as they ride the wave of success, And with up-and-coming rookies like Stu Pitstoner and Fitz Inabong, the Buzz's future looks high! |
| Team Name Origin: (his actual words) I've secretly been worrying about this for awhile now but here goes nothing. Toronto is nothing special as you might have already guessed. It's where I was born, raised and still live today. It's also a cyber tribute to my favorite NHL team, the Leafs! The Buzz part has a few meanings behind it. For starters, its the name of a hilarious TV show that was originally on a small community TV network here in Toronto. A "Buzz" is also something I used to have often roughly 5-10 years ago during my stoner days in high-school. Those days are behind me now, but the nickname "Toronto Buzz" has been my fantasy hockey name of choice ever since then. For SLH purposes, I was able to add my own little comidic spin to my roster as all my players have something "buzzy" to their names. Have a look, and see if you can figure them out. |

| #3 Wawatosa Moose (Njdevils) The Wawatosa Moose did what no other team was able to do during the divisional round of the IICC. They won all 8 of their games to notch a IICC leading 16 points overall. They wawa-ed all over their fellow UK oppoenents and hope to win the UK playoffs and could very easily win the entire IICC. They definitely have the talent, as they grabbed all 3 of the inaugeral IICC's divisional portion trophys. Time will tell if these impressive accomplishments were the result of participating in a average UK division or the results of a manager who can kick some serious ass on any given night. Accomplishments: (as of 04/29/04) (Division 1-1-1-P) 4 League Cups, 4 Playoff Cups, A Beer Cups |
|
| Coach Says: I have been in charge of my team since the very beginning. I have watched many talented atheletes come and go from the moose squad, but i have to say that this year i have the best bunch of players playing for me that i have ever had. Unfortunately, it has taken me quite a few seasons to get them to this standard, and now is about the time for the rebuilding process to begin. This means my drive for the IICC will come this season, so big guns like the Garden warriors and the Buzz, beware of the MOOSE!!! |
| Team Name Origin: (his actual words) When i started on senior league hockey i was put in a division with the wawatosa lumberjacks. They were the only good team i knew so i asspired to be like them. That is where the name wawatosa came from The moose part was came simply from flicking through the logos and deciding that the moose was the best looking!!!! |

| #11 Wilmington Rage (Smed) The Wilmington Rage just love to go nuts on their opponents. They had some very close games during the divisional portion of the IICC. They also had some weird results in that they were involved in 4 shutouts, 2 shutout wins and 2 shutout losses. They have a quiet manager who likes to let his players do all the talking on the ice. With a nickname like "rage", you can imagine that talking the talking their players do is a little on the angry side. They finished in a 3 way tie for 2nd in the UK and just barely missed out of the IICC playoffs due to the goal differential Tie Breaker. Its a safe bet they will be looking to avenge this years performance in IICC2, as they plan to get even better during the off-season. UK teams had better be on the lookout, as the Rage will be even angrier the next time out. Accomplishments: (as of 04/30/04) (Division 5-1-2-P) 1 League Cup, 3 Playoff Cups, |
|
| Coach Says: This is my seventh full season in charge and since coming to 'the Rage' have totally transformed them from a mid league team to a side which has gained promotion every single season whilst taking one league cup and two playoff cups. I would like to win a few more league titles but am in a constant battle with my nemesis (Munich Barons) and seem to come worse off most of the time. My aim with this team is to build them into one of the best teams in the game within the next few seasons, it's possible but I need more consistency. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the IICC Officials for such a great tournament and despite being knocked out on goal difference I have thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to be in the next one. |
| Team Name Origin: (his actual words) When I became manager the team was already named 'Wilmington Rage' - it seemed like a good enough name so I kept it. I have absolutely no idea which Wilmington it was originally names after. There seems to be loads of them. |
