Ball Hockey PlayHer Spotlight – Jen Harlan
Tuesday, June 12th, 2012
Editor’s Note – Ball Hockey PlayHer is a new set of articles on the ORG designed to highlight the contributions of the female players in BTSH. If there’s a woman on your team who you feel isn’t getting the recognition due to her, please e-mail the ORG or talk to one of our correspondents so we can set up an interview.
This week we feature the Anklebiters Jen Harlan. Tell us a little bit about yourself, Jen!
When did you first start playing hockey?
I subbed in a few BTSH games for the ‘Biters and Lbs in 2010; 2011 was my official rookie year. Pre-BTSH: I have a vague memory of floor hockey in gym class.
What’s your athletic experience outside of BTSH?
I play softball and dabble in circus arts (silks and static trapeze).
What makes your team special?
The ‘Biters are a happy little family. And we can drink you under the table.
What’s your best street hockey experience?
I scored my first (and a game-winning) goal against Lbs this season!
What’s one thing we should we know about you that we don’t?
I make awesome pie.
We’ve Got Spirit, How About You?
Thursday, May 24th, 2012
One of the things that came out of our recent discussions with BTSH scoring star and former cheerleader Georgine Paulin is that many of the BTSH team cheers are getting a bit long in the tooth. And some are just … lame.
Think we’re kidding? Lbs. cheer is “Lbs.!”
Very inspiring.
Luckily, our two week break gives everyone a chance to regroup a little. And in the spirit of improving the league we love, the ORG and our dedicated team of creative writers have some suggestions for new cheers for every team in the league.
Here are some beauties we came up with:
Filthy Gorgeous – “Not the Face!”
Corlears Hookers – “Ug!” (in fairness, they’re already using this cheer when they score goals)
Happy Little Elves – “Shut Up, Ritchie!”
Fresh Kills – “It’s not even leather!”
Denim Demons – “Hell is other people!”
What the Puck – “Puns are the lowest form of humor!”
Lbs. Inc – “Tax the Poor!”
Skyfighters – “Jágr je náš B?h!”
Rehabs –“We are your brain on drugs!”
La Famiglia – “Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes!”
Poutine Machine – “My name is Guy and I am not Canadian!” (inspired by this video)
Butchers – The classic “You can’t beat our meat!” or “Georgine, Georgine, Georgine!” (sung to the tune of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”)
Cobra Kai – “80’s movies are still relevant!”
Gremlins – “We agree with Cobra Kai!”
Dark Rainbows – “Someday we’ll find it!”
Mathematics – “The limit does not exist!”
Gouging Anklebiters – “God loves a terrier!”
Megatouch – “You’ve got the touch. You’ve got the power!”
Tompkins Square Riots – Either “There are no fun movie quotes about riots!” or the more topical “We are the 99%!”
Gut Rot – “What day is it? Where are my pants?”
You’re welcome, Captains.
