Season 29 ends, Yowlers come close, but no cigar
After an impressive 121 point season, the Yowlers made it to their fifth MLD finals, but were sent home by the utterly dominating Kigoma Hippos in a swift and brutally-executed four-game sweep. This off-season is particularly devastating to the Yowlers, as no fewer than eight players are forced into retirement.

Another in a rare breed of ultra-long serving MLD players, Sanderson played either in Yorba Linda or MLDML Anaheim Hills for a full twenty seasons. Always blessed with tremendous speed and vision, Sanderson's small stature (5'8", 165 lbs) and propensity for injury meant he rarely was able to play a full season. When he did, however, he was tremendous. One of the greatest back-checkers in team history, he had a magical way of stealing the puck from opposing players and turning the play back into the offensive zone. Never a real goal-scoring dynamo, Sanderson's skill lay in creating plays and setting up his teammates. Incredibly, he actually retires as the franchise's all-time scoring leader among forwards! An invaluable penalty killer, he also shares the team record for career short-handed goals in the regular season, and owns the record outright in the playoffs. He won the team's "Best Defensive Forward" award three times, "Unsung Hero" once, and "Most Improved" once. He wore #11. He will be sorely missed by the team.

Tyson Sampson: the prototypical Yowler. Dependable, responsible in both zones, talented, and workmanlike. Sampson was a capable two-way forward who excelled in the faceoff circle and the offensive zone. He never missed a game in his career, rattling off a 492-consecutive-games-played streak in this six MLD seasons. He won only one team "Best Defensive Forward" award, but that is probably more due to the abundance of elite defensive players on the team, rather than a lack of ability on his part. He wore #27 for the team and intends to continue his pro career in the SPHL.

Talented forward Clockare literally wrote the book on winning faceoffs. A draft he has been working on for several years is set to be published later this year by Random House! He averaged over 60% in the faceoff dot for his career, one marked with excellent two-way play. Not only is Clockare second all-time in franchise points by a forward (a mere eight points behind Sanderson, above), but he also won one each of the team's "Best Defensive Forward", "Unsung Hero" and "Most Improved" awards. He wore #45 for the team and retires to pursue a career in Sports journalism.

Few players have seen the kind of radical fortune-reversals as defenseman Guyette. His rookie season he posted an incredible -100 season... and followed it up with a +90 season! A highly-talented offensive defenseman, he was aquired by the Yowlers in season 25 to fulfil a role, and it was one that he played very well. He won the team's "Most Improved" award in his final season, a testament to just how excellent a player he became over the course of his career, considering the sucess he had in both Henderson and Yorba Linda. He was the team's best player during their season 29 cup run, and his contributions will be dearly missed. He wore #6 after his trade to the Yowlers.

Mauz becomes the first player drafted during the brief one-season tenure the franchise was run by gm yogsloth's two young sons. It was widely speculated at the time that the little sloths drafted purely by player name rather than talent or team need, but fortunately, they still managed to find some useful players. German-born Mauz arrived with a resumé for offensive prowess and defensive liability, but managed to adapt succesfully to the team's defense-first mentality. A strongly disciplined player, Mauz only racked up six PIMs in his six straight seasons with the team. He was the team's "Unsung Hero" in season 28, as he scored an impressive 31 goals from the 3rd defensive pairing with little power-play time. He wore #29 for the team, and returns to his native Germany to continue his career.

Another player drafted by yogsloth's two sons, Rogers came to the team with a reputation for throwing shields and fighting Nazis, rather than for any particularly effective hockey skill. It was quite surprising, then, that he actually become a quality goal-scorer for the team, including a 36-goal campaign that ties for fourth-best all time in franchise history. He also became a valuable sniper on the power play. As his career wound on, he actually wound up diminishing in effectiveness, which frequently led to some issues between player and management. Only adequate in the playoffs, like many Yowlers before him, Rogers probably won't be long-remembered by Yowlers fans despite his early regular-season success. He did win the team's "Most Improved" award for the aforementioned 36-goal season. He wore #40 for the team. He has actually retired from hockey to join the army, for whom he will be engaged in some kind of top-secret medical testing as a human gunea pig.

Centerman Brett Tallichuk is a good example of a player who found his nitch. Although not the most gifted offensively, he had an amazing talent for puck deflection - a skill not initially recognized by the team. Once it was, he put it to good use in front of the opponent's net on power plays. He retires 2nd all-time for the team in power-play goals in both the regular season and playoffs. His four PP goals in the season 29 playoffs is actually a franchise record. He won no team awards during his stay in Yorba Linda, but was always a valuable role-player for the team. He wore #39.

Goaltender Varenko had a long and interesting journey to the MLD. Originally drafted by the Yowlers several seasons before he came to North America, Varenko was actually a highly-regarded prospect for the KHL. After only a few appearances, however, he decided to make the jump to North America. It was immediately apparant he was in a class by himself, as he stepped into the MLD and domimated from the first moment he hit the ice. His speed, agility, and unwavering determination made him a welcome addition to the team. In his four full seasons with the squad, he averaged an incredible 48 wins. He won the league's Calder award his rookie year, and easily seized the Vezina trophy his final season with 51 wins and an astounding post-deadpuck era 17 shutouts. He is 2nd all-time for the franchise with 208 wins, which is also a record for post-rule-change, non-franchise-player goalies in the MLD. He joins Polly Armstong as the only Yowlers goalies to record two different 50+ win seasons. He also has a team "Best Newcomer" award, as well as an MVP trophy for his final, Vezina-winning season. He wore #50 during his career, and retires back to Russian to continue his professional career.
