July is always a pivotal month in the season. The All-Star Game and the trade deadline are now behind us. With each team having played at least 107 games, the playoff picture is starting to take shape. Three out of the four division leaders maintained their respective leads in July. The one exception was the Vancouver Wild, which fell four games behind the Richmond Slam. Also notable was the fall of the Key West Corals. After a dismal 8-17 record in July, the Corals went from one game out of first place to a daunting nine games back. The Brooklyn Knights played near flawlessly during the month. A 22-3 record catapulted them past the Beasts to claim the league's top record.
