FALMOUTH, MAINE, OCTOBER 10, 2011 - Observers have long suspected that Morning Hockey Club forward JJ Mokarzel had been gaining some sort of edge from his special, radio controlled helmet, which first appeared during the Cardinal Richelieu Cup playoffs last spring.
These suspicions were well confirmed during today's contest, a 9-5 win by the MHC Blue Dogs over the cup winning Gold Weasels.
Mokarzel, in an amazing display of being in the right place at the right time scored five of his team's goals, and did so in many cases by camping out on the goal post like his sometime rival Gerry Nadeau, who was not at the game today.
Or was he?
Gold Weasel players were griping the locker room after the game that they believed Nadeau was in secret communication with Mokarzel via the satellite linked communications device within Mokarzel's special silver helmet, one unlike those worn by any other player.
Among those complaining was the usually chipper Brian Linscott, who with Gold teammates remarked that, "JJ [Mokarzel] was camped on the post all day today," whereupon another Weasel chimed in, "it was just like Gerry [Nadeau]." Asked if he had a good game today, Linscott said, "No. I did not." Some said Linscott's uncharacteristic downbeat mood was attributable to having to coach a U14 girls soccer team all weekend, an experience that can be draining even to the very best of mentors.
Goalies Walt Leland and Jim Secunde were outstanding as usual.
MHC officials refused comment on the Mokarzel helmet after the match, but one MHC insider did confirm off the record that the equipment will be checked for compliance with MHC standards (which are low).
