Another win for the World Champs
Sole Survivors now hold both hammers
2006 Winter Klassic Winners
"Sole Survivors"
Eric Klavoon & Steve Wojcik
Sole Survivors proved themselves as still the number one team in Kan Jam after clinching their second Winter Klassic win. Eric Klavoon (Lockport, NY) and Steve Wojcik (Sloan, NY) battled through a field of 14 very competitve teams, ultimately defeating Dorkus Malorkus (Bob & Josh Greenauer of Lawtons, NY and Hamburg, NY) in the finals, 4 games to 2. The World Champs now hold both hammers, and are still going to be the team to beat going into this year's World Championship.

The regular season consisted of every team playing one game to 21 against all the other teams. Dan Klavoon from Team Rebels managed to toss two instant wins during the regular season. Other highlights included the return of the local Kan Jam hero/inventor, Swish (NT Legends) and a massive 5-way tie for 7th place, where Schlampen and Top of the Food Chain won the head-to-head matchups to land a spot in the playoffs. The top 8 teams were picked for the playoffs, with Sole Survivors at the top with only one loss to Team Rebels. Jedi Masters made the playoffs for the first time, becoming the only husband-wife combo to make the playoffs of any Kan Jam tourney. Also, Schlampen still is the only all-female team to make it to the playoffs of not just the Winter Klassic, but also the World Championship with their 7th place finish.

In the first round of the playoffs, Top of the Food Chain and Schlampen both threw instant wins, but ultimately lost the best of seven series to their counterparts. However, Schlampen nearly cracked the top four, taking Team Rebels to a deciding game 7 where they were eventually defeated.

The Final 4 consisted of Sole Survivors, Team Rebels, Dorkus Malorkus, and Phileep. In the Dorkus Malorkus and Team Rebels series, both teams managed to toss a perfect game. Team Rebels ultimately fell in the series to Dorkus Malorkus 4 games to 1. Sole Survivors got out to an early 3 games to 1 lead on Phileep, but Phileep managed to come back to force a game 7, where Sole Survivors barely won in overtime. Phileep will certainly be a team to watch in the upcoming World Championship later this summer.
