I’m working on it.

@YahooFantasy screwed me when they decided to to shorten week 1, making the season 22 weeks. All my spreadsheets were based on 21 weeks.

[QCPiglets @qcpiglets]

@MaxPowersEHCC - your assistance is needed! Give the people what they want! (They want powers rankings, if that wasn't clear).

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

@qcpiglets @sd_asf_

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

If your star SP blows up and there’s no one around to see it, does it still make a sound?

Live looks of the 1st place @NSH_Notes’ Garrett Crochet imploding against the @LasVegasDoggs to start off Week 4, and the “crowd” of Nashville fans witnessing it first hand. #sad

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

In all seriousness, I know @moscow_red already has Kyle Harrison as a qualified ROTY candidate, but Rhett Lowder is wasting these stats in the ESSEC

Only other real competition for pitching ROTY is @MauiD_Gods’ Andrew Painter.

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

@moscow_red missing out on ROTY stats from Rhett Lowder today

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

Spencer Steer out here making @naughtybynapoli feel bad for cutting him days after getting his jersey.

Seems the commissioner’s office finally took notice and took action, setting the @NaughtybyNapoli 26-man offseason roster for them.

Some notable drops include Triston Casas, Justin Steele, Max Muncy, and Ryan Weathers.

[EHCC Trade Rumors @EhccTrade]

## of days Napoli is late with their 21-man roster... 93... #maybetodayistheday

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

Today is the day!

Either @LasVegasDoggs wins their 6th title or @qcpiglets mounts an epic comeback to win their 4th

Fun storyline, w/ the last minute changes, all 3 SP on each side are set to face each other today

Gasser v Liberatore
Kelly v Eury
Cantillo v SWR

Who you got?

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

Certainly not the matchup my boy Aviator predicted.

[EHCC Trade Rumors @EhccTrade]

Get hyped!

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

The @LasVegasDoggs make the finals with two call ups (Horton, McLean) in tow

Western champ @qcpiglets are not without options with possible championship call ups of Colt Keith, Bubba Chandler, Sal Frelick, Samuel Basallo, and now Bryce Eldridge being rumored across Canada

All 4 semi-final teams have a shot at moving to the ‘25 EHCC Championship. What matchup are you routing for?

Rematch of ‘24? (LV v RIO)

Rubber match of ‘14, ‘16? (LV v QC)

Defending from 1st timer (NSH v RIO)

Just Happy To Be Here (NSH v QC)

@redstet @sd_asf_ @NshNotes

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

Soderstrom SB made it interesting, but wasn’t enough for @guerites to use their tiebreaker

@sd_asf_ decision to hold all their adds ‘til Sun surely played a role in their 1st round exit

Division ‘ships are set

EAST: @LasVegasDoggs v @NshNotes
WEST: @RioCristos v @qcpiglets

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

Excellent work here by @Freddie_EHCC !

Tacking on there, it’s notable to point out the fact that @MauiD_Gods missed the playoffs despite having a better record than BOTH @sd_asf_ and @qcpiglets

Really have to nail down your division in the EHCC.

[Freddie May @Freddie_EHCC]

🚨🚨 New Post Alert!!! 🚨 🚨

Freddie is lobbing grenades. Enjoy!

Updated playoff tiebreakers:

@LasVegasDoggs over SJ, RIO, SD, QC
@guerites over NSH, RIO, SD
@NshNotes over LV, QC
@RioCristos over SD, QC, NSH
@sd_asf_ over NSH
@qcpiglets over SD, SJ

Tiebreakers are determined by H2H category wins (not H2H W-L record as previously reported)

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

Fun fact: no team went undefeated in any particular stat category in 2025, but the most dominant performance goes to @sd_asf_ in Saves as they finished the regular season going 14-1-6 in the cat

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

Shout out to @MauiD_Gods & @qcpiglets for setting a new @EhccTrade season long record w/ 872 RBI

The new record nudged out the previous record of 870 set by @WShaddupu in 2017 & then tied by @guerites in 2023.

It was the only season long record to be broken in 2025

[Max Powers @MaxPowersEHCC]

@StephenEhSmith1 @guerites This is a truly amazing example of team solidarity.

Boo to Issac Collins for crossing the picket lines
