The Playoffs are set. Piston Honda is the number one seed and Don Flamenco is the number two seed. The second spot came down to the fourth tiebreaker (goals for) as Flamenco edged out Little Mac.

But before the top of the league gets into action teams 7 through 10 will be in action on Monday night. The highest seeded winner will face Flamenco on Tuesday while the lowest seeded winner will have to turn around to face Honda on Tuesday.

No top seed has won the Cup since the league expanded beyond 6 teams. Will Honda be able to break that streak?

Who’s your darkhorse? Who’s going out early? Any of the bottom four teams capable of making a run?

The Wissahickon Spring League isn’t just a group of hammerheads that love hockey, drinking beer and hanging out way too late. Though the league is certainly that. There are a lot of talents in these locker rooms. We’ve already seen players utilize the skills of their league-mates in metalworking, concrete bar fabrication, carpentry, recycling and painting. So we’ve created the WSL Business Directory, a part of the website where you can add your own listing, extolling what it is that you do and a way to connect players to skills they are looking for.

So please, head to the WSL Business Directory Page, click or tap Submit A Listing and add your talent or your company’s profession if you think it could help others out in the league. And players, if you’re going to have to get a roof fixed, isn’t it better to hire someone you can crosscheck if they do a crappy job?

If you get to the Wissahickon Skating Club via Center City Philadelphia, a Kelly Drive or Parkway closure can throw a real wrench into getting to the rink on time.

So take note of these summer closures for Kelly, Drive, Martin Luther King Drive and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

To have played hockey in Philadelphia is to have been touched by Ed Snider. The visionary founder and owner of the Philadelphia Flyers is responsible for bringing hockey to the city. He brought the Flyers here fifty years ago and he made us fans. He made us players. He made us as mad and passionate about the sport as he was.

He died at 83 but will forever be a Flyer.
