2026 FOT Tournament

Congratulations to the Champions!

The Flint Oldtimers Tournament is a long-standing tradition that draws teams for some fun competition.

The 40+ championship game was between two stacked teams, many of which play in the EHL on Sunday mornings. Maddens lost a close one to Rouse Outdoors in fast paced game.

Two divisions of 50+ players competed over the weekend. In the East Division, local goalie Nick Robbins assembled an all star cast from the Monday 50 league as well as the EHL. They earned the Championship over Demarcos. In the 50 West, Tailgaters beat Wolf Pack from Port Huron for the Championship.

The 60+ Division this year was created from players primarily from the 50 Monday league. Marc Morrison’s Madd Dogs was the only undefeated team Saturday afternoon until they met up with the Flint Oldtimers team. The two teams met in the Championship game and lost in a shootout.

Round three is the final series between the top two teams, March 23rd, 30th and April 6th.

60 League Playoffs

No games this week due to the Senior Olympics tournament. Playoffs begin on March 11th with Rolls vs Tucker and Flint Oldtimers vs Saber.

Notice the adjustment in the standings. Head-to-head is rated above goal differential in our bylaws, so I had to tweak the standings to move Saber up above Tucker. We will try to fix that, among other items, in the next fall season.

2025 League Finals Results

The results are in and it was a barn burner last night as Saber Electric worked hard to stop the run by Gears Beer Hockey. 

The game remained scoreless until 24:49 when  coach Dave Crabill tapped in a goal from a feed by John Gerrish, assisted by Brian Mullin.

The back-and-forth play continued until 3:53 when Joe Nesbit received a feed into the offensive zone from Steve Malenich and squeaked a puck past Mike Davis against the post.

The game remained tied through a five-minute overtime and the goalies stopped all but one shooter – Jamie Galant beat Edwin Dean for the win!

Another great season for the Flint/Lapeer Oldtimers Hockey League is in the books.
