Alright, let’s talk about this hockey stuff, the “isl hockey standings 2024,” whatever that means. I ain’t no expert, but I can tell ya what I see. Seems like a bunch of schools playin’ hockey, like, uh, “Kimball Union” and “Cushing” and some other fancy names I can’t even pronounce.
They got these things called “standings.” Now, back in my day, standin’ meant standin’ in line for the outhouse, but I guess it’s different here. These standings, they tell ya who’s winnin’ and who’s losin’. Like, Kimball Union, they got a whole bunch of wins, seems like they’re pretty good.
Then there’s all this talk about “Varsity” this and “Varsity” that. Sounds important, like the fancy teams, the ones the young’uns are all gaga about. They got “Boys Varsity Ice Hockey,” and then, wouldn’t ya know it, they got “Girls Field Hockey” too. Girls playin’ hockey? Well, I’ll be! Times sure have changed.
They got this “Independent School League,” which is a mouthful, ain’t it? Sounds like a bunch of rich schools playin’ against each other. They got all sorts of sports, not just hockey. Soccer, cross country, volleyball, you name it. They even got somethin’ called “softball.” Is that like baseball but with a soft ball? I ain’t got a clue.
- Kimball Union – Seems like these folks are the top dogs, winnin’ most of their games.
- Cushing – Another good team, right up there with Kimball Union.
- Avon Old Farms – These fellas ain’t too shabby either, winnin’ a fair share of games.
- Holderness – They’re doin’ alright, but not as good as the top three.
They got these games all the way back in “Winter 2023-24,” and they’re already talkin’ about “Fall 2024.” Seems like these kids are playin’ hockey year-round! Back in my day, we played when the pond froze over, and that was that. No fancy schedules or nothin’.
And they got all this stuff online, too. “Scores,” “standings,” “archives,” “recognition”… I tell ya, it’s a whole different world. You can click on a school’s name and see who they played and what the score was. Heck, you can probably see who scored the goals and who got a penalty, whatever that is. Too much information if you ask me.
They even got these “scouting reports.” Can you believe it? People watchin’ these kids play and writin’ down how good they are. Sounds like a lot of fuss for a bunch of kids hittin’ a puck around. But I guess it’s a big deal to some folks.
They’re playin’ games all over the place, too. “New England Prep Hockey,” they call it. And then there’s “Select Elite Youth Hockey Teams in North America.” Sounds real highfalutin. I bet those kids got some fancy equipment and travel all over the country, maybe even the world, just to play hockey.
And then there’s “*”. Sounds like one of them websites them young’uns are always glued to. They got all the “home/away/overall ISL 2024/2025 standings” and the “form (last 5 matches).” Whatever all that gibberish means. All I know is, it’s a lot of hockey, and some teams win more than others. Kimball Union, Cushing, those are the names I keep hearin’. So, I guess they’re the ones to watch, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Anyways, that’s what I make of it. A bunch of schools playin’ hockey, some winnin’, some losin’, and a whole lot of fuss bein’ made about it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about hockey’s made me hungry.
