2008 Skills Competition!
Give ‘Em The Triple Deke!
This Sunday, BTSH will host the inaugural Skills Competition prior to the championship game. As league members celebrate the end of another successful season, they will have the opportunity to test five different “skills” throughout this event. Those interested in participating should contact their captain and Bob W immediately.
The competition will feature the following:
Accuracy Shooting: This will run very similarly to the NHL event of the same name. A shooter will receive eight passes from two teammates and try to hit four targets positioned in each corner of the net. The goal is to hit all four targets in as few shots as possible. The media eagerly await Bob “Olmec” Weyersberg’s entry into this event.
Breakaway Relay: Three players will take breakaways against the same goalie in consecutive turns. The event is designed for the more skilled players of BTSH to showcase their talent. In an effort to make the breakaways challenging, Tim “(S)crappy” Gray will not be the goalie.
Freestyle Breakaway Challenge: Scoring will be secondary in this breakaway event, and humor will take precedence. An esteemed panel of judges will grade a player’s shootout attempt based on “creativity, difficulty, and absurdity.” Well, actually, the judges won’t be that esteemed…
Beer Control Relay: Similar to a puck control relay, cones will be set up, and players will race around the court while drinking a beer with one hand and ball handling with their other hand. Participants must finish their entire beer during the race. Please note, BTSH does not condone binge-style drinking.
Goalie Shot Accuracy: Barriers will be placed in the middle of the court, while goalies attempt to shoot from their own crease into the opposite (empty) goal. Full pads must be worn. Since “full pads” is just a pair of shinguards for him, Randy Locklair may be the favorite here.
