Other stories
- Igbolandian star Jonathan Okafor has said that Yorubalander winger Adewale Onyilogwu's open-ice headshot on him "wasn't really that bad and has called for any suspension to be "three games max." "It was dirty, yes, but not as bad as ramming a guy's head into the boards. It wasn't blindside. He just caught me a bit high." It was noted by the commentators that he got up quite quickly considering the principal point of contact was the head.
- Hijazi defender Malik Aziz has accused Babylon top scorer Raymond Newsom of diving; replays have shown that the "trip" that got the same the late penalty that allowed Babylon to score and make it 3-2 was actually a no-contact scenario and should not have been called. He did add that neither referee had a good angle to see the non-contact, so he didn't fault the officials.
- Hijazi goalie Ali Rahman Abd-al-Wahid is being praised for his 68-save effort in spite of the loss, and the native of Mecca has said he was offered contracts by several MIHL teams. The 20-year-old is currently a free agent, with his contract with the DHM's Al-Aqaba having just expired.
- Mauritius' shotless game is particularly embarrassing; it is the first in Challenge Cup history at either level. "We expected to get blown out," said head coach Devraj Dhorasoo, "but to not even get a shot away? Something's got to change fast!"
- Robert Lapierre, the Quebec-born Canadian Antarctic Territories star who started playing in NAMPHA this season, is fast emerging as one of the best two-way players in the Americas CC system. Not only is he amongst the leading scorers in the CC Americas Division 1, but he also leads the tournament in hits!
