Boardman Goal Seals Blue Dog Win Monday
The Morning Hockey Club Blue Dogs battled to a 9-8 win over the Gold Weasels in Monday's contest, led by Tim Boardman's winner on a nifty 1 on 3 rush. Boardman scored on the backhand facing away from the net (at least that's how he described it). Brian Linscott played a good game in the losing effort. "My first half wasn't that good," he said, "but by the second half it got better." Half? This is hockey, Bri, not soccer. Three periods.
Wednesday saw another back and forth contest in which Gold were able to prevail on a late goal. It was not clear who scored it! Officials believe it was Alec Newcombe but that is being researched as this report is filed. Goalie Jim "Red Light" Secunde seemed shell shocked after the game though he played well in the losing effort for Blue. He seems to still be adapting to the change of teams and having to play at the Home end of the rink. It's a lot different down there and closer to the jeering crowds.
Defenseman Bryant Field, on of the MHC's very best, lamented that he had played in three straight losing efforts so far this week, all by one or perhaps two goals. Several players suggested that he engage agent Scott Boris to negotiate himself a favorable trade to a winning side.
Whereabouts of Richelieu Cup Unknown
League officials have put out a call to the Gold Weasels to determine which player presently has the cup, as sharpshooter Ryan Foresman is claiming he turned the cup back in after his week. Since Foresman is normally a reliable player, authorities are taking it as a case of a "missing relic" and have mounted a full scale investigation. Anyone having information about the whereabouts of the famed flagon is asked please to come forward.
Secunde Plays Under a Cloud
FBI special agents are rumored to be seeking an opportunity to question flamboyant goalie Jim Secunde in connection with alleged game fixing. Though he has remained mum (unusual in itself) Secunde may have been affected by efforts to serve him papers just before the start of Wednesday's game.
Dench Drafted to Play In OFC
Morning Hockey Club defenseman Bryan Dench has been drafted to play in the 2011 Old Fart Classic 4-team hockey tournament this weekend at Portland Ice Arena. It was tough for him to get in and to find a club to draft him that did not know him. Although a couple of tournament players had seen Dench played, somehow he skated in. Perhaps he is hoping finally to play with a group old and infirm enough for him to have a chance of keeping up?
