Well now, if y’all been keepin’ an eye on them hockey games, especially the Founders League, you mighta noticed things been heatin’ up for the 2024 season. Now, don’t go thinkin’ it’s just a bunch of young fellas skatin’ around, ‘cause there’s a lotta heart and hustle behind these standings. Them teams, they don’t just play for fun—they play to win, and some of them boys been showin’ just how much they got in ‘em.
First off, let me tell ya about this Founders League—it’s a big deal in the world of prep hockey. It’s an athletic league made up of them fancy college prep schools, y’know, them ones where the kids get real proper schooling and also spend a good chunk of their time on the ice. The league’s been around since 1984, so they ain’t no newcomers to this game. It brings together some of the best hockey talent out there, and with the 2024 standings, things ain’t lookin’ too quiet either!
Now, if you look at the teams at the top of the Founders League standings, you’ll see a couple of familiar names that’ve been makin’ noise year after year. Teams like Kimball Union and Cushing Academy, they been around and know what it takes to put up a good fight. Take Kimball Union, for example—boys like Jack Sadowski, a winger, been out there putting on a show. In one of their recent games, he scored two goals and had an assist, helpin’ lead his team to a 4-1 win over Cushing. That’s the kind of action that’ll get ya’ talkin’ ’round the dinner table, I reckon!
But let’s not forget the other schools in the mix—Brunswick and Avon Old Farms. Them boys ain’t slouchin’ neither! Every team in the Founders League’s got somethin’ to prove, and as the season goes on, you best believe the competition’s gonna get fiercer. Ain’t no way around it, competition’s good for the soul, and that’s what keeps these teams comin’ back year after year.
Now, I know a lot of folks don’t rightly know how the standings work, but it’s simple enough once ya get the hang of it. They base their rankings on how well them teams do in regular games. For example, if a team wins more than they lose, they climb higher in them standings. And let me tell ya, the higher up you are, the better your chances at makin’ it into them playoffs. Them playoffs? Well, that’s where the real excitement happens, and where the boys show what they’re made of.
Now, y’all probably wonderin’ what else affects these standings. Well, it’s all about those wins, losses, and ties. Each game they play counts toward their standing in the league. And you gotta be ready for any kind of challenge. Injuries, weather, even them early-morning games when a fella’s still tryin’ to get his bearings—any of that can shake up them standings quick as a wink.
If you ask me, this 2024 Founders League’s been a real treat to watch. Whether it’s the young talent comin’ outta Kimball Union, the grit from Cushing, or the fire in the belly of Brunswick, it don’t matter where you look—there’s hockey bein’ played at the highest level. And don’t think it’s just the boys on the ice gettin’ the credit. There’s coaches, families, and whole communities behind each one of them teams, supportin’ their lads through thick and thin.
As for the standings, well, they’ll be changin’ from week to week as the season rolls on. Ain’t no tellin’ who’ll end up on top once them playoffs roll around, but it sure is fun watchin’ it all unfold. So, if you’re a fan of hockey, or just lookin’ for somethin’ to watch this fall, I’d say keep an eye on the Founders League. Them boys got the heart, the hustle, and the hands to make this season one to remember!
Before I go, I gotta say—don’t forget to show up, cheer on them teams, and support your local boys. ‘Cause let me tell ya, nothing beats the thrill of seein’ a good hockey game live. And who knows? One of them young men might just be the next big thing in the world of hockey!
