January 31st, 2016

Hello there GHL fans. Welcome to the new and improved GHL blog. Because we've been away for so long, let's get you up to date with that's been going on.

The GHL unfortunately folded in June of 2015 due to financial issues, but a large group of sponsors and buyers gave us the money we needed to continue. Now there are many changes to the GHL this season. We now have a grand total of 72 teams, half in Europe and half in North America. The conferences have split the teams into 3 tiers.

The GHL Lifetime Achievement award was awarded shortly after the GHL folded. The recipient was former Weld Central Rebels goalie Crysta Pfeffer. She broke many GHL goaltending records, including most consecutive shutouts, most consecutive wins, most goals by a goalie, most assists by a goalie, and is also the only GHL goalie to be undefeated.

Pfeffer, 18, signed with the Boston Bruins, one of our new GHL teams, on December 22nd, 2015. However, she was hospitalized the next day, and has been on the injured reserve list since then. She is expected to start soon, but a return date is uncertain.

The 2016 GHL All-Star Game will be played in Quebec City, QC this season, at the brand new Videotron Centre. There is currently a fan vote to see who will be in, and even though Crysta Pfeffer hasn't played a single game this season, she's one of the most-voted players to be in the All-Star Game.

However, the only evidence of her still in the GHL is her player picture taken on December 22nd, 2015.

Yeah we realize it's a little small, but it's the only one we can find.

Other GHL players, such as HRCA Inline Hockey's Steve Finn and Pittsburgh's Mario Lemieux have also been highly voted for to play in the All-star Game.


Reebok has also officially released the jerseys for the All-Star Game.



The GHL has also just opened its Hall of Fame, and the inductees were being voted for last night.







The inductees are officially in.








Well, that's all we have for today. We hope this post helps you all catch up. thanks for reading, and keep your stick on the ice.
