The regular season over, the time has come to crown a champion! Before we delve into the details of the Champions Tourney, I want to take a moment to review this incredible inaugural season: Waikiki Swags- With a lot of set-backs placed in their way- a three-man roster, an incomplete stadium, and several last minute decisions- this team unfortunately couldn't quite hold on and dropped all 5 games they played. Great effort though against La Ciudad and Borrego made for exciting games, however their record put the team led by JetFan16Ladd in last place in the standings so it'll be a tough stretch to reach the championship and win the grand prize. Sweden Serpents- One of the first teams to register, the Serpents led by TheHolyStick22, appeared to have trouble organizing and thus lost a few games by default, though they were able to congregate and defeat Waikiki as their lone victory. The old-school neighborhood rink in the beautiful Sweden Nation made for fun and youthful games as well. DirtVillage LapNation- Led by the always reliable Jrg5978, this casino-owned team, pulled off thrilling victories against Sweden and Waikiki, placing fourth in standings. DV was one of the few teams to actually play a majority of their games, and a strong finish at the end of the season gives them a good foot-hold going into the tournament. TeamFoix- With probably the most legitimate arena in the league and in a spectacular town, AppleProcucling's team narrowly escaped a 2-3 regular season with a win over Sweden, clinching 3rd in the overall standings. The host of the inaugural match against Borrego, they played a tough season, losing only to the two teams above them, and have a strong position in the postseason standings. La Ciuadad Avalanche- My personal team, and another of the few teams to play most of their games, we suffered our only loss to Borrego on the road. Several 1v1 games made for exciting finishes and long points. We have the 2nd place position going into the tournament and thus, a first-round bye. Borrego Road Runners- The elite team made up of three staff members and led by Chargers2417, this team cruised through rough waters to an undefeated season, not even giving up a single goal. Hosting their games in the largest arena in the league, this team easily ranks number 1 overall and is the favorite for the championship! The first round of the tournament will be Tuesday, July 22nd at 2pm EST. There will be two games, the second starting at 3pm EST. Semi-final games will be Thursday, July 24th at 2pm and 3pm EST. The Championship match will be on Saturday, July 26th at 3pm EST. All games will be hosted in the higher-seeded team's arena The Championship Grand Prize might be 50k if I can make that money back I have created an online bracket to follow here: http://challonge.com/echlsummertourney I'll be tagging all players so as to make sure everyone is on the same page: Borrego Road Runners Owner: @chargers2417 Players: Chargers, @officepwnz123 @Officialminer @rainbowmaster12 & @pbj3 Sweden Serpents Owner: @TheHolyStick22 Players: HolyStick, @nicoviacava1210 @TrixTheGamer @Caitlin_Crime @Ninjaboy3113 & @Nyancats33 La Ciudad Avalanche Owner: Steveshizzle Players: Steve, @matthew_gruber @roborule @Zylo31 @Coolslammer3 & @restes TeamFoix Owner: @appleprocucling Players: Apple, @minecraftninja05 @nitrolaser17 @7airlinepilot & @Redmonkey1313 Dirtvillage LapNation Owner @jrg5978 Players: Jrg, @matt8865, @lapkingkn, @jal814, @awsome428 @Emudude13 & @powderbutt66 Waikiki Swags Owner: @jetfan16ladd Players: Jetfan @Skidooman2828 & @bickfordboys League Officials- @TaylorBros22 @0TheRedHerring0 @Emau @ldw116 jrg5978 Chargers Steveshizzle & Roborule Cameramen- 0TheRedHerring0, appleprocucling, jrg5978, & roborule A reminder, this is a summer league and we will also be running a winter league starting in January, so if you would like to register a team, feel free to do so here: http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/echl-ecocity-hockey-league.97892/ Also a huge shoutout to @chargers2417 @Nyancats33 and @jrg5978 for their help and reliability this season, I couldn't have done any of this without you guys!

Dirtvillage Lapnation defeated Sweden Serpents 3-0 in a well fought game. They now move forward to face the Borrego Road Runners in the second round of the play offs! @steveshizzle
Borrego defeated Dirtvillage in a tough back-and-forth game 3-0. Road Runners advance to the championship, Dirtvillage will play for third place on Saturday at 2pm EST
La Ciudad defeated TeamFoix in a 1v1 match by a score of 3-1 (the first non-shutout). The Avalanche will advance to the Finals Saturday in Borrego against the Road Runners at 3pm EST, and TeamFoix will play Dirtvillage in Foix Saturday for 3rd place at 2pm EST.
In an exciting 1v1 match between TeamFoix and the La Ciudad Avalanche, steveshissle scored 3 goals in a row to defeat TeamFoix by a final score of 3-1.
So bad news: I went out mining the other day with two max picks (one with fortune and one silk touch), a max fortune shovel, and a pumpkin axe, which I didn't realize I had brought with me. No surprise, I fell into a lava pool and couldn't type /home in time, dying and losing about 80k worth of tools. I was able to replace a couple of the tools but it almost completely cleared out my balance so I now won't be able to reward whichever team wins the championship with the 50k prize. Donations are appreciated and I am tirelessly working to regain some of that money, so please hang with me, I'm trying my best.
Congratulations to the Borrego Road Runners for winning the ECHL Summer Championship in a tough 3-0 victory over La Ciudad, completing an undefeated season and without giving up a single goal! Great job!
