Commissioner posts and team GM updates, newest first.
Riding a hot tandem of Gibson and UPL through the regular season and in the playoffs, the Schleswig Oilers break the 1st overall curse and manage to squeak through the playoffs and add their name to the Bohemian Cup.
A valiant effort by the Wafflebots, Meltdown and Mariners to soften the Oilers up for the Fletushkas came up short, as Schleswig claims it’s six or seventh trophy (but who’s counting). All that matters is that it’s six or seven more than Athens.

Location: TBD (Likely Trolley 5 on 17th Ave SW.)
Time: 12:00pm - 3:30pm (est.)
Gord-O with his freshly waxed physique and Timmy with his Green Bay Gobblers gear should be in attendance so come on down and drink too much, draft next year's 100%, sure-fire late round 1st liner and bitch about the re-rates. New rules specifically designed to screw Raccoon Willie and enhance sharecropper wealth will be discussed.
t.
Happy Canada Day to the best bunch of homers in the land!
The re-rates have landed and all teams have been updated, minus any salary updates. I'll be working on updating them over the summer.
t.
Ahem,...Third Bohemian Cup...had 2 back to back in the 90s...when I was still single bartending, and kid free...really a different person all together. Thanks for the laughs this year dummies and to you Deano for running this shitshow!
Congratulations to the Inverness Jets for winning their second Bohemian Cup in as many decades. In his third seven game series, Coach Hardass was able to finally get one version of his beloved Jets across the finish line. Condolences to the Kiev Flyers who just couldn’t get Freddie to finger another team.

The 2025 RWHA Trade Deadline is Sunday March 16th, 2025 at 9:00am.
Any trades posted after that will not be processed.

...and we're back. Sunday December 29th. Usual place but in the upstairs bar at the National on 10th. 11:30am
t.
All Pre-Season games for the 2024/25 RWHA Season have been run and the results are live.
Stats, game results, etc. will stay live until Wednesday October 16, 2024 and then replaced with the 2024/25 regular season schedule and league files in advance of the regular season start on October 20, 2024.
Remember that you have to be at the 50 man roster limit, salary cap compliant and pass players through waivers, if they require them, before the start of games on Sunday October 20th. Penalties and sneaky Trash Panda waiver claims will be in affect after 10:00am Mountain on that date.
t.
Pre-Season games will be run on Sunday October 13, 2024. All teams will run Computer Lines against your current Pro Roster. If your Roster is incomplete for some reason, Auto Roster will be in effect which means any moves you made prior to the games could be lost. There is no live session for these games.
Regular Season games will start on Sunday October 20, 2024. Games will be in-person at the National on 10th and live via WebEx at our usual start time - 11:30am.
All teams must be cap and roster compliant by 10:00am on Sunday October 20th. Remember that any players who are waiver eligible and are currently on your farm must be posted as 'waiver eligible' if you plan on leaving them on the farm. If you don't do that, they could be claimed by another team.
t.
Thanks to everyone for showing up to this year's draft. All prospects have now been added to your teams.
Note that if your player had a salary, he would have been 'activated' from your propsects list and added to your farm team. Farm salaries are no longer included in your salary cap calculations.
I still have a large amount of DB cleanup to do, including updating player's positions. That means that if you had them playing other positions, you'll need proof to move them back.
t.
League players have been updated with their correct DOB and age. All recent trades have been processed.
t.
All player salaries and contracts should be accurate as of 08/30/24. Trades, Waivers and Rosters movement have also been processed.
Please check for any errors and post in the appropriate section of the Slag Heap.
t.
We're all booked in bitches.
Date: Saturday September 21, 2024

Time: 1:00pm - ??
t.
I've been going back and forth with the fine folks at PuckPedia and they have agreed to give us access to their API for $350 USD per year.
What does that mean for you? Nothing, except that league fees are going to increase for the first time in 25 years. Don't be a bunch of cheap fucks and pay Si your league fees.
For me, it means a little coding and an easier way to pull in a player's contract length and cap hit and update the site during the offseason.
t.
All trades, roster moves and releases have been processed. The re-rates are complete and salaries are accurate as of the end of July.
Zero tolerance policy for whiny bitches.
t.
The Slag Heap is back but with minimal fancy-pants graphics. If I get bored, I'll fix it. If not, suffer in silence.

Ricky Cumalot and Linus Ullmark FTW!
Congratulations to GM Dave 'Ratboy' Zan for his 2nd Bohemian Cup.

We will follow the same format as last year and will be drawing for the first and second overall picks in this year's entry draft.
t.
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Schleswig, Ulster, Gdansk, Mull and Belfast - all gone. Clapham, Prypyat, Kiev and Funkytown will duke it out in the Conference and Bohemian Cup Finals - there can be only one!
Join in person or via WebEx next Sunday - Mother's Day - as we wrap up the 2022/23 season by crowning a new RWHA League Champion and complete the 2023/24 Entry Draft (a.k.a. Timmy's Trail of Tears).
t.
The second round of the 2022/23 playoffs will be run on Sunday May 7th and the Conference Final and Bohemiam Cup Final on Sunday May 14th.
After we crown this season's champion on Sunday the 14th, we will run the 2023/24 Draft Lottery. All GMs are invited to attend in person at the National on 10th at 11:30am or via WebEx. After the conclusion of the draft lottery, we head into the offseason until mid to late September when we will hold the 2023/24 Draft.
Come cheer against your hated team and watch another draft lottery where Timmy - despite having three of the top 6 six picks - loses the lottery yet again. Hilarity will ensure, tears will be shed and someone's bound to quit the league in a fit of pique ;)
t.
If you're joining us live for games, make sure to use the east entrance to the National on 10th - the bowling alley entrance and head upstairs to the main National floor. The door will be closed but unlocked.
The National is not using upstairs until things pickup in the spring but we still have access to the 'Library' where we hold the games and we still have full food and beverage service in our space.
t.

Games will be run in person and online - link to show up in your email before the games begin.

Remember - if you are unable to attend, you have to get someone to agree to draft for you or you will forfeit your picks.
t.
League realignment, based on the order of finish from the 2021/22 season, is now complete. The divisions have been renamed after some beauties from Canadian teams during the 1983/84 season.
If you want to set up a rivalry with another team, post it in the Rivalries section of the Slag Heap. Both teams have to agree and you can go as high as '5' - tear each other apart level.
t.
Please join me in congratulating Todd Clarkson in playing a hunch and going the distance with a dead goaltender in Ben Bishop. In between managing two jobs, one as a looper on the PGA\Kornhole Tour and two, as a world-renowned fluffer for Raging Stallion Studios and French Twinks, 'Felchy' Clarkson has shown that dedication and hard work are more than just a box of wet-wipes at the end of a long day.
All the Best Maxx!
For the 3rd year in a row, the Hockey Gods have seen fit to screw Tim out of the 1st overall pick. Conference and Cup Finalists ranked according to finish.
The Computer Gods have spoken and the order of this year's upcoming RWHA Entry Draft is as follows:
Time and date of the 2022 Entry Draft TBD.
