Note’s From Last Week
|
Rookie goaltender Mohammed Khandwala did enough to secure his first I-Slam Hockey victory
|
After taking several seasons off (in the meanwhile doing some exemplary work in the community), Zaid Toorawa marked his return to I-Slam Hockey with a goal
|
Context For Tonight
|
A win tonight will make them the only undefeated team in their division

|
Note’s From Last Week
|
Had a poor start last week by falling behind by 2 goals at the end of the first half. They would score three straight goals in the second half to take the lead. However, Sabr would concede a goal in the dying seconds and settled for a draw
|
Boasting a lot of high profile offensive weapons, ironically Haya got a goal from an unexpected source last week (Zuhair Fancy). If the savvy defensemen can contribute to the goal scoring here and there then this team will become an offensive juggernaut
|
Context For Tonight
|
A huge divisional game to make sure Haya does not get too much separation between them in the standings
|
By winning tonight they can give them a nice little 3 point lead with them and Sabr

Last Week’s Result

2-1 L vs Shukr
|
3-2 L vs Yaqeen
|
Note’s From Last Week
|
Last week they were all Swedish but no Finish. Ihsan had chances, 19 of them, but only found the back of the net once. Also noteworthy is they gave up a lot of chances as they relied on the goaltender, Zayd Agjee 22 times.
|
Give Emaan credit they fought hard with a depleted lineup. Missing last week: Abdul-Wahab Mohamad, Arif Bijabhai, Farooq Sani and Huzaifa Manjra.
Naeem Akhter certainly stepped out last week by blasting 2 goals through from the point. |
Context For Tonight
|
It is tough to start the season with two straight defeats. If this happens they will be last in the league and in their division.

|
Note’s From Last Week
|
Last week they were missing: Abdur-Rahman Buttar, Omar Saadat, Salman Khalid, & Tariq Baksh. Except a late last minute goal in the second half Ridha did not have much to show for.
|
When separated from Humza Chaudhry, it is well known that Arslan Main does not perform well. He proved his doubters wrong by scoring two goals, where one came in the closing moments of last week’s game
|
Context For Tonight
|
It is tough to start the season with two straight defeats. If this happens they will be last in the league and in their division.
|
A win tonight will set up a big show down with Haya next week for the top spot in the Mecca division
|
Prediction
|
Ikhlas Victory
