The Skis hung another banner yesterday with a 8-1 win over Royalton to secure the VL West Playoff title.  After the game the Skis drafted Jason King from the Randall Cubs, and John Fuchs of the Upsala Blue Jays.  See more below.

The voting is closed for the past two weeks of Ski MVPs and the results show that one vote was very competitive and close while the other was not.  In the end Nathan Olson and Andrew Lange were voted the winners for the past two weeks.  See the numbers and read the comments here.
