Week 7 News and Notes
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010Somewhere, James Stein Is Crying
This past Sunday, Craig “Ug” LaCombe of the Unicorns hosted BTSH’s first Sega NHL 94 tournament to benefit Kelly Buchanan. With nearly 40 participants, the event was a rousing success. The afternoon and evening featured several intense rounds of play, but in the end, two competitors remained: Josh Feldman, the brother of someone in the scrimmage group (no relation to Rehabs instigator Jon “Dinner Plate” Feldman, however), and Jay Rosenberg, Rachel “A-Korn” Greene’s former co-worker.
The final consisted of a best of three series with Feldman controlling the New York Rangers and Rosenberg controlling the Vancouver Canucks, thus mimicking the actual 1994 Stanley Cup Final. After a solid victory in the first game, Feldman clinched first place with an amazing third period comeback in the second. At the end of the night, Feldman returned $75 of his winnings, while Rosenberg returned his full second place prize of $20.

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010Long Weekends Make The Planet Smile
With Memorial Day marking the unofficial start to the summer season, the holiday is traditionally associated with barbeques, parades, family gatherings, and sporting events. Thus, as BTSH approaches this highly anticipated weekend, the media conducted a league-wide survey to gauge people’s plans for their day off from hockey. Some of the notable responses are after the jump.

In an attempt to boost overall revenue for the league, new league manager Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta has instituted an aggressive sales plan for BTSH merchandise.

Week 4 News and Notes
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010Who Can Resist The Allure Of Family Day?
Inspired by the success of the Denim Demons’ Family Day in 2009, this past Sunday marked the first ever league-wide Family Day. League manager Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta encouraged all league members to invite their families and friends, and also to prepare a cherished food item.
Although the event was met with mild success, there were still several league members who participated. Amy Kovner of the Gouging Anklebiters brought chocolate-covered strawberries (STRAWBERRIES? AAAHHH!!!) and her husband, Mr. Kovner (Todd). Anklebiters captain Phil “Sandy” Donohue shared cupcakes from Sugar Sweet Sunshine bakery, which thankfully did not find their way into any of Minkus’ crevices. Jason Eitel of the Corlears Hookers forced his girlfriend to cook homemade empenadas with salsa, which he then noted were made by a real Colombian (unlike Eitel, who is neither Colombian nor Canadian). Bratta’s mother even made a brief cameo to serve her world famous tiramisu.
Mike Sokolyansky of Fresh Kills brought his brother Dave, who scored a goal, but did not cook.
Week 2 News and Notes
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010ACS Tournament Coming May 1
On Saturday May 1st, the Rehabs’ own “Con” Ed Lau will once again host his annual street hockey tournament to benefit the American Cancer Society. It will take place from 9 AM to 3 PM at Moffo Rink in lower Manhattan. To play, all you need to do is donate a minimum of $30 and sign a waiver upon arrival. If you and a friend each donate $60 per person, both of you can be placed on the same team. Otherwise, the teams will be created in a manner that distributes the talent evenly.
As usual, Ed stresses that “THIS IS A NON-CONTACT EVENT WITH NO SLAPSHOTS AND NO TOLERANCE FOR AGGRESSION”. Remember, we’re all playing for charity!
Online registration is strongly encouraged as a receipt will be issued to you directly, and there is the potential for employer donation matching. To date, the tournament has raised more than $10,000, and Ed expects to crack the $16,000 barrier this year.
For more information, contact “Con” Ed Lau or Liza Watts.
