What you love most about the league:

So many of the games are tightly contested, the officiating is stellar for a men's league, and the players tend to treat their opponents well because everyone is there for fun and exercise.

Did you know that:

I grew up in Vermont and occasionally on a cold winter morning I would microwave my socks and underwear. Once I put them in for 30 minutes instead of 30 seconds and forgot about them until my mother asked about the flaming pile of cloth in the microwave.

Little known fact:

The hydra is a freshwater polyp thought by some to be biologically immortal. It looks like a tube topped by tentacles but can transform into a gelatinous sphere if threatened.
