League News

The Summer League 2026 season got underway with eight new players risking their ‘lives’ against all manner of foe and folly. The good news for the four teams that failed to power up is that it is far from ‘game over’. Eight levels of play remain, and all players still have plenty of lives to spare. Don’t quote me on this, but the nerd word is that there are secret bonus levels at the end of the game, should you make it that far…

Captain Nick Meglich managed to keep a BIG secret from everyone, including his own teammates (!)…there would be no Alex Giummo in the lineup for Sand’s final swing at defeating rival Black. The result of this twist was not the convincing win for Black that you might expect, but rather a tooth and nail nailbiter that dripped into OT.

So, it will be another clash of the top two seeds, as Sand takes on Black with the Wing League 2026 Cup on the line this Sunday…

Captain Kalen Hunter’s ‘Squidward Kalenmari, Inc.’ remained undefeated through three weeks of playoff play, and as there are no ties in playoff hockey, that can only mean that the terrific two seeds are on to the Wing League 2026 Final. Pat Gladstone paced the 3-1 win over their rivals, earning Black a bye, while Red, Pink, and Sand engage in a ménage de la mort this Sunday to produce one final challenger…
