The Real Physical Challenge Was For Jim to Get His Shirt On
After the smashing success of their Dunkin’ Donuts themed uniforms, the Denim Demons honored another American institution with new Double Dare themed t-shirts. In addition to a graphic on the front of the shirt, the new version also features player names and numbers on the back (for those of you who can’t tell the difference between “Hacksaw” Jim Dandeneau and Jeff Kamen by looking at their fronts). Abigail Meisterman may have the most unique combination with “Dewey” as her name and the Dewey Decimal System classification for hockey as her number (796.962). However, Micael Holmström’s subtlety of just using his last name and a non-descript number (16) is by far the most brilliant. In a potential oversight, Adam “Legen(d) Killer” Rubens’s shirt only reads “Legen”, indicating that D may be missing from his game. He claims the reason for the omission will be revealed at a later date and time…

Mexican Standoff Finally Lets Loose
As a dry practice run for the upcoming courtside party on June 1 (which Jefferson Hendricks is really working hard on), Mexican Standoff threw an open Cinco De Mayo Party on Sunday. Festivities included a “Mustache vs. Non-Mustache” intra-team scrimmage, a chips and salsa station, and a piñata. The action climaxed when Mexican Standoff finally broke open the piñata, splattering candy across the court. However, Trevor “White Jesus” Tyrrell materialized in the nick of time to save the candy from reaching any playing areas. Although the party was a smashing success, there was one casualty: Hendricks’s sneaker. With one half of his playing footwear dangling precariously from a tree, he was forced to play his game with one sneaker and one boot. Since Hendricks scored a goal, maybe he should consider playing this way more often.
Week 3 News and Notes
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008The Anklebiters are Busting Out
Phil’s Too Sexy For His Shirt
For the second consecutive season, the Gouging Anklebiters unveiled new team jerseys. Zach “Cryme Tyme” Weiner, who considers himself the glue of this team, designed the illustration on the front of the shirt. Unfortunately, unlike last year, the Anklebiters are no longer “Black for Street Hockey”. That designation now falls solely on the shoulders of Sharif “The Chocolate Buzzsaw” Corinaldi and Donald Brashear. A few new t-shirts are being special ordered for Phil “Sandy” Donohue, who is far too ripped for any of the current ones.

New Jersey’s Exports: Precious Metals, Industrial Machinery, and Tommy Mayoros
After struggling with the goaltending tandem of Rob Gorden and Tim “(S)crappy” Gray last season, the Mighty Squirrels seem to be a different team this year. With new goalie Tommy Mayoros in the net, they’ve been walking with a new found swagger…some might even say an air of confidence. They are now 1-0-1 after facing two tough teams. Captain Rachel Greene was sure to note, “People often ask us where we got our awesome goalie from, and the answer is simple. We got him from New Jersey.” New Jersey was offered Scrappy in exchange, but it politely declined.

Sky Fighters Missed the Memo: Children Should Make the Shirts, Not Design Them
Mexican Standoff, Unicorns, and Dark Rainbows all unveiled new uniforms on Sunday, while the Sky Fighters plan to inaugurate their “lovely” new jerseys (as modeled by Amy Lott above) this Sunday. In an attempt to be more like the Mighty Squirrels (“Please!”), the Gouging Anklebiters sported new track jackets. There is no word yet on whether they plan to add aging former goalies with back issues to their roster.
