AS THE OFFICIAL LEAGUE HISTORIAN A FELLOW AND MUCH ESTEMEED GM APPROACHED ME WITH A LEAGUE HISTORY QUESTION………WHEN IN THE 28 YEARS PRIOR TO THIS ONE , WAS THE LAST TIME THE CONNECTICUT WOODS DIVISION SAW BOTH THE CHICAGO WILDCATS AND CALIFORNIA QUAKES MISS THE PLAYOFFS IN THE SAME SEASON.

AFTER DOING THE RESEARCH THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE , NEVER. IN THE 28 YEAR HISTORY OF THE CJIBL AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE 2 STALWARTS HAS ALWAYS MADE THE PLAYOFFS.

THE REASON THE QUESTION WAS ASKED IS SADDLY OBVIOUS…….AND BEGS A MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION. COULD WE BE WITNESSING A “CHANGING OF THE GUARD” OF EPIC PROPORTIONS IN THE WOODS DIVISION. AND THEN FURTHER, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE WOODS DIVISION ITSELF ? OR EVEN HUMANITY AS WE KNOW IT ?
