the Greenberg Division and 
Congregation Shaarey Zedek 
in the Koufax Division.
Rosen Division playoff 
champion Congregation Shir 
Tikvah has moved up to the 
Koufax Division.
Temple Israel No. 2 and 
Shir Tikvah also were regular-
season division champions in 
2021.
Shaarey Zedek went 8-11-
1 during the regular season 
last year and finished in third 
place in the five-team Koufax 
Division, but won five straight 
playoff games (four in one 
day) after losing its playoff 
opener to capture the division 
playoff title.
It was Shaarey Zedek’s first 
league championship since 
1996, the league’s inaugural 
season, when there were only 
six teams and no divisional 
setup.
Here’s this season’s division 
lineup:
Greenberg — Temple Israel 
No. 2, Temple Israel No. 5, 
Temple Israel No. 6, Beth El 
No. 1 and Shir Shalom No. 2.
Koufax — Temple Israel No. 
1, Temple Israel No. 3, Shaarey 
Zedek, Shir Shalom No. 1 and 
Shir Tikvah.
Rosen — Adat Shalom No. 
1, Congregation Beth Ahm, 
Beth El No. 2 and Shir Shalom 
No. 3.
After being awarded to 
a player in each division in 
2020 and 2021, the league’s 
Jeff Fox Sportsmanship and 
Michael Yendick Pure Heart 
awards once again will go to 
one player for each award this 
season.
League players voted for the 
change.

the playoffs.
The other three divisions in the 22-team

mine Final Four teams.
It was the Rolling Stoned vs. Newbies in the 
Pistons Division, House Ballz vs. Yogi’s Rollers 
in the Tigers Division and Mix-N-Match vs. 
NHL Property Management in the Red Wings 
Division.
The Newbies, House Ballz, NHL Property 
Management and 600 Club were second-half 
division winners.
Heading into the playoffs, high games in 
each division were rolled by Ben Sofferin (279/
Pistons), Matt Rappaport (280/Tigers), Aaron 
Radner (300/Red Wings) and Joey Schechter 
(279/Lions).
High series in each division were rolled 
by Tom Endean (680/Pistons), Shapiro (730),
