Summarise an Entire Sports Season in One Paragraph

The season is over and you could spend an hour explaining it or you could have one good paragraph. This produces the latter: the defining story, whether the outcome was a surprise, and the thing the season will actually be remembered for when the next one starts. Prose, not bullet points.

Summarise the season described below in one paragraph of no more than 150 words. The paragraph must:
- Name the sport, league, and timeframe in the opening sentence
- Include the one story that defined the season (not a list of stories)
- Mention the champion or winner and why the outcome was or was not a surprise
- End with the one thing that will be talked about most when looking back on this season

No bullet points. Write it as prose worth reading. Tone: informed and concise, the way a sharp journalist would close a season review.
