My boss suggested I create a computer program for this that could run all the games for me; I'd just enter the teams and players. He suggested using C++, but with my so-called programming experience, I don't know if I could create on Basic. Setting up a the virtual rink, even if it's all text-based, would be a huge program in itself!
I might pick up a C++ manual sometime in the future though, out of curiosity.

Each team scored a touchdown, punted once, and the Atheists tried a 54 yard field goal, only to have it sail wide. Time ran out before the Monsters could capitalize.

Hindus 4 - 5 Buddhists
The Buddhists shocked the Hindus with an early agressive charge, smashing 6 shots at Shiva before Dogen and Sundari finally sent 2 shots in.
Rudra killed the shutout in the second, but Dogen answered, broadening their lead. Vishnu and Ashoka both ended up in the box with separate penalities, Vishnu for Too Many Men (He jumped onto the ice one second too early) and Ashoka for Delay of Game (He meant to clear the puck but accidently sent it out of bounds. The referee decided it was intentional.).
Hanuman and Brahman scored in the third, making the game 3-4. With 5 minutes left in the game, Gandhi pulled Shiva and sent Ganesha onto the ice. The Buddhists switched to bunker mode and tried to shut down all assault. After nearly 4 minutes, Hanuman scored, tying the game. It looked like the game would go into overtime, but Dogen got a breakaway right off the face off and sent the puck in for the game-winning goal with only seconds left on the clock.
------------------------------------
Atheists 4 - 3 OT Greek Gods
The game started slow until Dawkins questioned whether Heracles really existed. Heracles answered with an explosive elbow that got him sent to the box. The Atheists, however, couldn't capitalize, and Achilles ended the period as the only one to score for both teams.
Einstein opened the second period by tying the game. The rest of the period went back and forth, but with no one scoring. The only other event was an confrontation between Freud and Ares;
Freud: "Why all this agression, Ares? Does this have to do with your relationship with your mother?"
Ares: "What the #$^% did you say about my mother?"
Freud, unfortunately, couldn't answer on account of his being unconscious.
Einstein ended up scoring to give the Greeks the lead, but Achilles and Heracles turned things around, giving the Greeks the lead. With only a couple of minutes left on the clock, Hawking pulled the FSM, replacing him with Dawkins. With Darwin and Dawkins distracting the opponents, Einstein slipped past the defense and tied the game.
Overtime then began, and it looked like the game would end in a shoot out, but Dawkins pulled a shocking feint and slipped in to score the game-winning goal for the Atheists.

Week 2 Games:
Christians vs. Satanists Jews vs. Cthulhu Atheists vs. Hindus Buddhists vs. Greek Gods

(OT is not sudden death, each team gets an equal number of chances to score)
The Monsters win the OT coin toss, and elect for first possession from the Atheists' 25 yard line. A direct snap to Bobby Henderson, who laterals to Cthulhu, and then finds the Flying Spaghetti Monster for a TD. Going with no-huddle, they line up for a deuce and get it, along with a 35 -27 lead.
Now the Atheists get a chance to respond in kind from the Monsters' 25 yard line. The pressure's on, they need a TD and a deuce to keep it alive or else. Dawkins gets the Atheists to the 5 yard line, but the Monsters keep them out for the win.

Cool, Go monsters!
And I just demonstrated my knowledge of football, or rather the lack of.

NFL overtime is sudden death. College overtime is double elimination.

vyper, why don't you make a team called the Vaginalists! You could include King Solomon, Ghandi, Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, Martha, Thomas Jefferson...

I thought about it, but I figured they wouldn't be very tough since they tend to be lovers. Heck, even the Jainists may be tougher, though the Vaginalists would have excellent stamina and agility.
Gandhi? Or is Ghandi someone different?
If I did go with that, Sappho would be either coach or captain.
I do know that, for season 2, the Norse gods and Egyptian gods will join the league, as well as a brand new extraterrestrial religion.

Week 2 Results:
Christians 5 -2 Satanists
Jesus defended the goal from shot after shot, allowing Matthew and Mark raise the score in the first.
The second period erupted into chaos as Goliath and Lucifer sent members of the Christian team flying all over the ice. Goliath even took advabtage for the other team's shock to score. The Christians tried to score again, but Chernabog knocked them senseless. The period started to come to a close, and it looked like the Satanists were regaining the edge when John scored two quick goals, one after another, to strengthen his team's lead.
Beetzelbub scored in the third, but the Satanists could not make a comeback. Luke ended up raising the lead even more, ending the game and truly humiliating Lucifer's team. ------------------------------------------
Jews 4 - 5 Cthulhu (Shootout)
Noah opened the game by putting his team on the scoreboard, but Azathoth quickly tied it. Tensions mounted as Ctulhu and David got into a fight, with David once again knocking down his much-larger adversary.
Jonah gave his team the lead once again, but Ithaqua and Vorvadoss stole it back. Daniel and Azathoth then got into a fight, with Azathoth easily flattening his opponent.
Hastur scored in the third, and it looked like the Cthulhu would win this game easily. With five minutes left in the game, however, Noah scored his second goal, and Solomon tied the game with only seconds left on the clock.
Five-minute overtime began with Cthulhu getting a breakaway, but Moses stopped him in his tracks. The OT ended not long after.
The game then went into a Shootout, with each time sending out 3 shooters, one after another to score. David started for the Jews, but his quick wrist shot was easily kicked away. Next was Cthulhu, who fired a powerful slap shot that caught Moses in the chest and sent him right into his own net for the score. Noah followed, but missed, as did Vorvadoss. Jonah went next, but his shot was blocked, giving the Cthulu another win. -----------------------------------------------------------
Atheists 1 - 2 Hindus
Dawkins and Ganesha both got thrown into the penalty box in the first period. Halfway through the period, Indra fired two shots at the FSM, both of which were deflected. The third shot, however, got through, giving the Hindus the lead.
Rudra scored in the second, and Hanuman got thrown into the box for nearly shattering Freud's jaw with an elbow.
Most of the third period was uneventful, until a lapse in judgment by Hanuman (trying to clear the puck right in front of the net) allowed Einstein to steal the puck, passing it to Dawkins who scored with a wraparound shot. With only seconds remaining in the period, Indra got thrown in the box for interference, with the face-off taking place in the Hindu's zone. Hawking took advantage of this by pulling the FSM, giving the Atheists a 4 on 2 skater advantage. They couldn't capitallize, however, as Ganesha won the face-off and cleared the puck as time ran out.
(Sorry guys, they tried!) ----------------------------------------------------------
Buddhists 2 - 0 Greek Gods
Neither team scored in the first. Near the end, though, a collision of Dogen and Achilles, which stunned both men, got them sent to the box (Since, under CHL rules, an accidental infraction that causes an injury results in a minor penalty).
The Greeks tried to make a comeback in the second, firing four shots at Hotei, but all four were stopped. Dogen jumped onto the ice and finally put his team on the board, about 15 minutes into the period.
In the third period, things didn't improve for Hera's team. Although Athena kept winning face off after face off, they could not get the puck into the Buddhist's zone. Apollo got thrown into the box halfway through the period when his attempt to clear a path for Athena resulted in an Interference penalty. The Buddhists then got the puck into the Greek's zone, but Hephaestus stopped shot after shot, even performing a diving poke check that sent the puck right out of the shooting zone. Unfortunately, the Greeks could not get the puck out of their own zone, as the Buddhists seem to form a wall of force, stopping the puck, then sending it back towards the goal. Hepaestus kept stopping the puck, but the Buddhists used kept on firing them. Eventually, fatigue set in for the Greek's goalie, and Sundari scored, giving her team the win. ----------------------------------------------
Week 3 Games:
Christians vs. Jews Greek Gods vs. Satanists Buddhists vs. Atheists Hindus vs. Cthulhu ---------------------------------
After all 8 teams face each other twice, I'll have the Play offs. Instead of having all 8 teams compete, I'm thinking of just the top 4 teams competing in best of 5 game series.

My boss suggested that, in the future, I do a league with all music genres, which each genre being a team and each performer (person or group) bring a player). While I have no plans to do this anytime soon, it could be a fun concept.
I'd probably have teams for Rock, Rap, Metal, Country, Classical, Easy Listening, and Disney (can't think of any others right now).
It'd definitely create some fun moments:
"Queen just body checked Marilyn Manson right through the glass!"
"Dolly Parton just knocked out Elvis! The King may not be dead, but he's wishing he was!"
"Uh oh, another fight between Hannah Montana and Billy Ray Cyrus!"
"Alice Cooper just beat Barry Manilow to a bloody pulp!

I have my official site all set up. It's not perfect, but it's a start, for the moment. I'll post all results there from here on. cosmichockeyleague.blogspot.com/
