IJNL Decision on the Unplayed Game vs. Smoke Eaters Geleen
In addition to Sunday’s win, IJNL has now issued a formal decision regarding the unplayed match against Smoke Eaters Geleen on January 4. Since the Smoke Eaters did not appear on the scheduled game day, the federation has ruled the match a regulation loss for Geleen. As a result, Black Sheep is awarded a 5–0 victory.
It is, however, an inflated result, as Black Sheep would of course have preferred to play the game on the ice.
This result will be added to the official standings once processed, further strengthening Black Sheep’s position in the league table.
