I attended the AWIHL weekend of 11/12 November 2008 where the Sydney Sirens were up against the Melbourne Flames at Penrith Ice Arena.  The Sirens won both games quite convincingly, and felt that the Melbourne Team went home quite upset, as both games were shutouts.

I’ve just performed an upgrade of the software running this site (Wordpress and Gallery). As a result, some things might have broken, but generally, everything looks ok so far.

If something is broken, let me know!
