Season 53:
Most Goals: Edward Williams Most points: Edward Williams Most Assists: Edward Williams I think it's fair to say that Edward Williams had a fantastic season fifty-three as did Detroit evidenced by the fact that they won the Four Star cup that year in five games, four to one over the Kelowna Knights. Kaarlo Kekkonen was second on the team with fifty points in fifty games followed by Cal Labovitch with forty-one points in fifty games. Edward Williams was also a fantastic defensive player that season as evidenced by the fact that he led the team in hits with one-hundred and ninety four followed by Burlok Sulfurgold with one-hundred and seventy seven. Guy O’Shea led all defensive players in points with thirty-six points in fifty games, including ten goals and two assists. The Goalie situation was interesting. A. Jobin started the majority of the games, 33 in total. He won twenty-six and lost five with a .901 save percentage. Thor Odinson on the other hand played seventeen games, won fifteen and lost just two with a .927 save percentage. Season 54: Most Goals: Edward Williams Most points: Edward Williams Most Assists: Jack Kanoff It’s worth noting that while Ed Williams once again led the Detroit Falcons in goals in season fifty-four, the gap was much smaller then in season fifty-three. In season fifty-three Williams had thirty goals while second place Kaarlo Kekkonen had only nineteen. In season fifty-four Ed Williams had only fifteen goals while second place Frederick Wanesly had fourteen. A year after their four stop cup win, The Falcons finished eighth in the league with forty-seven points compared to eighty-four points the year before. They had a minus twelve goal differential compared to a plus one-hundred and fifteen goal differential the year before. Jack Kanoff led all defensive players in points this season with twenty-seven points, nine goals and eighteen assists. Ed Williams once again led all players with the most hits at one-hundred and seventy-nine while Zakkira Diporov was second with one-hundred and twenty-two hits. The leader in blocked shots was Frederick Wanesly with eighty-nine. He also had a hundred and nineteen shots with an eleven percent shooting percentage. In terms of leaders when it comes to shooting percentage, Cal Labovitch and Luke McMaster came in first and second with fourteen point eight and fourteen point one percent shooting respectively. The Goalie situation was much the same as the year before with A. Jobin being the starting goalie, starting thirty-five games, winning seventeen of them and losing fifteen plus two overtime losses. He had a .916 save percentage in those thirty-five games. Thor Odinson started seventeen games that year, he won five and lost ten with a .919 save percentage. Season 55: Most Goals: Sammy Blaze Most Points: Sammy Blaze Most Assists: Sammy Blaze This was an incredibly rough season for the Falcons. They won only thirteen games for twenty-nine points, good for last in the league. Ouch. They had a minus seventy-four goal differential which partially explains why they were such a bad team that season. Blaze had forty-three points, twenty-one goals and twenty-two assists. Yngve Simonsson was second with thirty-three points, twenty-one assists and twelve goals. Thor Odinson finally wrangled the starting goaltender job away from A. Jobin. He had ten wins to thirty-one losses with a paltry .902 save percentage. His backup, Tyler Avery played five games that season. He won two and lost two with a .932 save percentage. Maybe he can help turn this team around in the franchise in the future. Quote:590 Words
