Do you know what happens when you get old, consume too much alcohol, and do not get the proper amount of sleep? Then on top of that, get bagged in 3 hockey games in three days? You feel terrible. Back when I was your age, I could have done that no problem. Now, it’s a struggle. It’s still a struggle. That is why this is late.

 

Week 9

 

Game 1: Krown Rust 9 vs. Kemp Financial Group 5

 

You’d think a team with 3 A+ all star spares would put up a better fight than the 9-5 loss KFG posted against Krown. However, when your captain is too busy partying with his cousins rather than showing leadership and showing up, speaks volumes. Sunday’s matter. Everything else is just amateur.

 

Paul O’Doherty got off the snide and scored 2 more goals to bring him to the top of the goals scoring column. Matty Harrison chipped in with a goal. Littlejohn and Bobbi Cranston had 3 apples.

 

Now, I chirped KFG for losing fairly badly, but they did almost come back. Krown was up 6-1 before KFG battled back to 6-5, before a few late goals put the game away. McGinn had a big game, scoring 4 times and adding a helper. CD19 said he had 7 points, but the stat sheet said 2-2. Dasilva had 2-1 and Cade had 1-1. Kalpy had 3 apples, Laner had 2; Tripper, Moody and Smus had 1 each.

 

Game 2: Chase Contracting 10 vs. Good Neighbours 3

 

Chase Contracting love getting into high scoring games. Their top 2 players are tied for the points lead. Who knew that Jones and Burlon could bicker so much and yet still produce. Maybe chaos will reign this year.

 

Sean Jones had 7 points (cough cough CD). 3 goals and 4 assists. Burlon helped out with hugs in the cubby and 3goasl/2assists on the ice. Spenny Wyatt is quietly having a sneaky good season picking up another 4 points (2/2), and Kenny Wright also had a 4 point day (1-3). Gav Spence and Gendy had assists.

 

Shoutout to Brock Levick for being at the game, unlike some other caps. He still finished the game with 1-1. Doaker scored twice; Crescenzi had 2 apples. Contento and Waters had 1 each.

 

Game 3: Four Star 4 vs. Volpe Alcorn 3

 

Of the 4 games played this week, only 1 was really tight. This one. The one I had to play in. Hungover. Sleep deprived. Unhappy to be there. And yet, we won. Don’t know how or why. Actually, I do know why. I kept falling over and the puck hit me over and over. Just ask Borschevsky.

 

Bryan Peters had himself a day, scoring 2 and adding a helper while anchoring the second line. Pias rode shotgun getting 1 and 2. Lebar added a goal from the first line. Lazer and Reeder had assists.

 

Nik Borschevsky, besides getting robbed on a breakaway, scored once and adding 2 helpers. Diamond had 1-1 and Kosmo had 1-0. Dino recorded 2 apples, Mike Volpe 1.

 

Game 4: Eve Mechanical 7 vs. Perry Rose 3

 

Looking at the game sheet, I am seeing a lot of 4’s for Eve Mechanical. Barret had 4 goals/1assist. Kinger and Norris Jarvie had 4 helpers each. Favot and Iacono had 1-1, TyRo 1-0, and Causal Clayton 0-1.

 

Currie, Turbo and Austen Jones had the goals for Perry Rose. Stinger had 2 assists; Prender, Val, Josy, and Sovy had 1 assist each.

League Rules:

 

1) Show up for the game. Pretty self-explanatory.

2) If you can’t make it, let your captain know.

3) Shower. Seriously. You are an adult. Don’t walk stinking.

4) Visit the cubby. As often as you can. You’ll be surprised how nice of guys we actually have in this league.

5) When it’s your turn, bring your share. It’s only fair.

6) Have a back up case. You’ll be a HERO.

 

 

 

 

Cubby Rules:

 

1) No girls

2) Make sure your team has drinks

3) Don’t drink another team’s last bevy

4) No girls

5) Keep it CLEAN. Every team should clean up their mess

6) No fighting

7) If you do need to bring a girl, make sure this is approved by cubby management.

 

 

Rememeber that the cubby starts immediately after the east coast game and will end once the last bevy is consumed. Your captain should have volunteered themselves to bring the first week. The weather looks fairly decent, but make sure to dress appropriately. Toques, mitts and boots don't make you a a wimp.
