Week 1: Results
Game 1 – Taco vs Dignowity
The Winter ’23 season kicked off with a matchup between the Tacos and the defending champs, Dignowity. The weather was near perfect with a slight breeze and after the national anthem, the two teams placed 3 a side on the rink and the season was underway. The Tacos, led by Coach Penn known formerly the Southtown Canadians, are looking for redemption this year after earning the title of last place in the prior season. The game would kick off with a trio of goals by the Tacos to take a 3-0 lead after the first period. Dignowity had troubles getting into their grove with absences from Doho Burdge and Colin Iacarella, who both appear to still be in Disney World post winning the SARHL Fall Championship. Late in the second, Dignowity would find the board for the first team and cut the lead to 4-1. In the 3rd, the Tacos closed out the game by scoring three more while only conceding one to finish the game 7-2.
Game 2 – Taco vs El Pollo
The second game of the night featured the Tacos on the double header versus El Pollo, captained by Andy Minerd and formerly the Broadway Bruins. The first period would see goals from both sides as El Pollo took an early 2-1 lead after the first period. The tired legs of the Tacos would start to show in the second period as El Pollo worked the puck around to extend their led to 5-2. In the offseason, El Pollo put in the work, attending Wednesday sessions with daily cardio and yoga mixed in alongside 1,000 toedrags every morning. The Tacos would put in an early goal to cut the led to 5-3 in the third, but the comeback stopped there as the defense from Callahan, Minerd and Ricky between pipes locked it down to hold the Tacos scoreless for the remaining 10 minutes. A late goal from the newly drafted, Micah Dreay, gave El Pollo the cherry on top to seal the deal and take home their first win of the season, 6-3.

Championship Game Recap
Championship Game: Downtown Devils(#1) vs Broadway Bruins (#2)
The league final featured the 1 and 2 seeds from regular league play, the Devils and Bruins. During the season these teams would split their head to head match ups at one a piece setting the stage for the Winner Takes All Championship game. The game started off with opportunities from both sides testing the keepers of Taylor and Ricky, until Captain Gary Burdge was able to break the championship game ice late in the first period putting the Devils up 1-0. The second period saw the Devils spark an offensive run adding 3 more goals from the captain to extend their lead to 4-0 after two periods. After some mid period coaching from Captain Minerd, the Bruins would finally find the score sheet early in the lead with JR Yupanqui tallying a goal to cut the lead to 4-1. The Bruins would get another jolt of life after the Devils scored … on themselves … to bring the game even closer at 4-2. This score would be short lived as the Devils immediately answered (their own goal) with a goal in the correct net coming from the stick of Blackburn, assisted by Evans to extend the game back to a 3 goal lead. In the final moments, Johnson would add one more for the Bruins to make it 5-3 but that proved to little too late as the clock expired and the Downtown Devils became champions of the SARHL.

The third period saw a continued push from the underdog Canadians who tallied 2 more to tie the game at 4-4 with goals from Ortega and Penn. Late in the third period, the Devils would find the scoresheet again at the perfect time to take a 5-4 lead with just minutes to play.
