Low outdoor temperatures, increased alcohol intake and holiday stress have, for decades, been leading factors of what medical experts call "holiday heart syndrome."

Between 1979 and 2001, 53 million deaths due to cardiac arrest were attributed to the holiday heart syndrome, according to a 2004 study published in the American Heart Association's journal "Circulation."

***UPDATE***We have reached capacity in some programs and are now starting the wait list. The league will be evaluating the total registrations after the beginning of the year and will figure out if any additional players may be able to be accommodated for the season. If we are able to add any additional players, we will take registrations from the wait list in the order they have been registered.

We knew we would reach capacity before registration officially closed which is why continuous updates and messages were shared through email and social media. If you are interested in playing, register for the wait list and you will be contacted next month if the league is able to accommodate any additional players.
