Lovieville Flyers: Lovie, Stevo, Shamus, Yuri, Razor, Youngblood and the Raker
Soupy’s White Virgins: Soupy, Snowpants, Hollywood, Sparky, Hurricane, Mez and the Danish
Husky Eye Yellow Hawks: Spinner, Rocky, Junior, May Day, Falcon and Doc.
Lovieville Flyers finished with a 3-0 -1 record, securing 7 points and going a plus 7. The Yellow Hawks, finished 1-2-1 with 3 points and were a plus 1. The White Virgins, named after Soupy, who selected a team for the very first time, went 1-3-0, ended up with 2 points and were a minus 8.
“I really liked our team and I thought we showed grit and determination in a lot of the games, I am very proud of the team I selected tonight”, indicated Lovie.
“It was a first time for me and I got to say, I was nervous, anxious and totally aware of what I needed to do, but we fell short tonight, I just hope I get to be a Captain again this year” stated Soupy.
“I am very proud of my cousin, he accepted the task and went about it as best as he could…it was his team and he had a great deal of pride in it. My team on the other hand, we stormed through well and my guys did the best they could, the wins, the losses, the ties…it really means nothing in the end cuz really all you want to do is have a laugh or two after on stage”, stated Sunny.
In watching the hockey, I thought the play was fierce. It may have been one of the quickest games of the season. In watching the Lovieville Flyers tie with the Husky Eye Yellow Hawks, you could see that no one team wanted to make a mistake out there. Doc, scored the only goal for the Hawks and Shamus for the Lovieville Flyers.
Hurricane was scoreless tonight. “No Chevy there for me to show off to, did not seem the same”, indicated Hurricane.
The Star Selection as selected by LaBamba: 3) Sparky, 2) Yuri 1) Razor. Interesting selections, of D-man and a goalie, when you had some good goal scoring out there.
A big solid, by May Day, brining 12 Canadian tall boy, ‘just because’. Tomcats love having him back, “I love the fact that he is back playing with us, I think he is enjoying it too, he’s a great guy and the Tomcats are lucky to have him back in the fold” stated Hollywood.
Cribz was announced as the new Director of Officiating and accepted two new whistles. “It is truly a great honour to be part of this fantastic organization and to be bestowed this dubious honour of Director of Officiating, well, words cannot explain the jubilation that I am feeling tonight” Cribz had said.
The new Tomcat Director of Officiating proudly shows off his new wistle.
Tomcats are also looking at adding a Director job to Shamus, as he will be the head draft person for the drafts each week. He has been milling around the white board for two weeks and has done a good job.
Doc on the other hand, dropped the ball, not filling the case of beer with ice properly. Youngblood had to be sent out to get more ice to load ice on top of the beer. “It’s sad, really”, indicated Sparky, “I trained him, nurtured him watched him grow as an ice man and then he drops the ball like that. It is probably the most important job of all jobs on a Tuesday night and for him to load it like that, a shame. I hope he has learned his lesson and will do better next week” concluded Sparky.
In real tournament news, the draft order has been completed and the May Day Marauders have first over all pick, then Yuri Met’s with the third and the Stevo Sting Rays have fourth. Rocky holds his second over all pick from a year ago.
Colours will be Marauders, red, Met’s Dark Blue, Rocky Yellow and Stingrays White. May Day is A, Yuri is Team B, Stingrays are Team C and Rocky is Team D. Draft goes January 31, 2012.
When the draft is going on and all the Captains are sitting at their table in the middle of the Kapusta Kow Floor, I plan to put my Harry Ballsonue.
