BTSH WEEKLY RECAP – 23 SEPT. 2007
by Eli Kazin

The regular season is (almost) over. The playoffs are just around the corner, and anyone can win the title. Look for a playoff preview towards the end of the week. Catch me at the courts, the bars, or email me at themajordeegan [at] yahoo [dot] com with anything noteworthy. Onto the results…
———————————————
The Games

HATS OFF TO TOM MACDONALD. Tom MacDonald scored three goals, including two in the final five minutes of the game, as What The Puck clinched the fourth seed with a 6-4 victory against the Denim Demons. The Denim Demons, behind two goals from Micael Holmström and one goal from Mike Pereira, had rallied from a three goal second half deficit to tie the game. Darrell ‘Accurate Bob’ Hartman scored two goals and Corey ‘Chongo’ Winters added one goal for What The Puck, while Jeff Kamen also scored a goal for the Denim Demons.

GET USED TO THE NOON START TIME. In a noon matchup between two teams that could find themselves in the 15 to 18 seeded play-in games next weekend, Megan Kelly’s deflection proved to be the game winner, as the Gouging Anklebiters beat the Mighty Squirrels, 2-1. Eric ‘El Guapo’ DiPierri also scored a goal for the Gouging Anklebiters, while the Mighty Squirrels goal was scored by Mike Mincieli.

SHANE DEBLASIO HAS NO MORE GOALS IN RESERVE. Shane DeBlasio scored two second half goals, and Alexandre Frenette scored the game winner in overtime, as Fresh Kills rallied for a 3-2 victory against LBS. Karsten Pichon and Dustin Shutes each scored a goal for LBS.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GAMES START ON TIME. Tim Hannon scored three goals, and Brian ‘Grandmaster B’ Barrett added two goals, as Pork Fried Rice defeated Mexican Standoff, 7-2. The first few minutes of the game were played three-on-three, as Mexican Standoff had no women at the time, and Pork Fried Rice had only three players besides their goalie. Ant ‘Father Time’ Ventolieri and Mike ‘Cupcake’ Bartlett each added a goal for Pork Fried Rice, while Tommy Cho and Jeffrey Hendricks were the goal scorers for Mexican Standoff.

MINKUS CAN NOT WIN THE GAME THAT MATTERS MOST. Molly Holder and Theo Waters each scored a goal as the Rehabs doubled up the Tuques, 2-1. Pete Wilson scored the lone goal for the Tuques, while Minkus suffered his only loss of the day, as he also filled in, and recorded wins, for the Gouging Anklebiters and What The Puck.

WHY AM I DOMINO? John Nielsen, P.T. Walkley, and Sean Reynolds each scored two goals, as the Dark Rainbows clinched the third seed with an 8-2 victory against Cobra Kai. Josh Wilson and Lindsey Foehrenbach also scored goals for the Dark Rainbows, while Peter Oblamski and Ray ‘Domino’ Chan were the goal scorers for Cobra Kai.

J.P. CHAPUT AND THE REHABS DOUBLE THEIR PLEASURE. J.P. Chaput scored two second half goals as the Rehabs rallied for a 2-1 victory against Filthy Gorgeous. Anthony Romeo registered 24 saves for the victory, while Suvin Malik scored the lone goal for Filthy Gorgeous, with an assist to Jeff Giberstein.

SADLY, HE DID NOT WEAR RED PANTS. Jonathan Rick and James Pereira each scored two goals as Filthy Gorgeous defeated the Sky Fighters, 6-1. Ben Chadwick and Suvin Malik also added goals for Filthy Gorgeous, while Amy Lott scored the lone goal for the Sky Fighters.

DUTCH DOES NOT PLAY IN MEANINGLESS GAMES. With the top seed already clinched, Brendan ‘Dutch’ Kearney decided to play soccer, and missed the Corlears Hookers 3-1 victory against the Bad Touch. Kelly Buchanan, Peter ‘Purple Rain’ Putka, and Riley Olson each scored a goal for the Corlears Hookers. Amy Krawczyk scored the lone goal for the Bad Touch.

$HOWT!M3 RETURNS, DOES NOT SCORE. After missing three games with a injured foot after crashing through the metal fence and onto the FDR Drive, Hector ‘$howT!m3′ Melendez returned and provided an emotional lift as the Unicorns defeated the shorthanded Mathematics, 7-1, to clinch the second seed. Chris Eng notched the hat trick for the Unicorns, who also received goals from Allison Busch, Aaron Mullan, Brendan Grainger, and Courtney Butler. For the Mathematics, Andrew Lu scored the lone goal, and Georgine ‘Mulva’ Paulin played all fifty minutes as the only female in attendance.

———————————————
Unsung Hero of the Week

The unsung hero for this week is Caroline Currie of Fresh Kills, who took a ball to the mouth and another to the forehead in the first half (from the same opposing player, no less), uttered a few profanities, but did not miss a shift, and helped rally her team to victory. She also played in the All-Star Game as the female representative for Fresh Kills.
———————————————
2007 BTSH All-Star Game

Highlights from the All-Star Game:

– Referee Jim Dandeneau of the Denim Demons was ejected in the second half and replaced by Patrick Larsen of the Mighty Squirrels.
– Molly Jacobs of LBS jumped on the back of Eric ‘El Guapo’ DiPierri of the Gouging Anklebiters, because referee Alex Eben Meyer, also known as Coop, told her she would earn a penalty shot if she did. Unfortunately, Jacobs failed to score on the penalty shot, and took a hard fall after failing to latch on to El Guapo’s back.
– P.J. Lopez of Pork Fried Rice scored the only goal in the all-goalie halftime spectacle.
– MultiBall proved successful, as most of the goals during the game were scored in these short interludes.
– After four defeats, Black team captain Molly Jacobs finally won an All-Star Game.
– El Guapo, James Pereira of Filthy Gorgeous, and Dave Sokolyansky of Fresh Kills each scored goals during the non-MultiBall part of the game.
– At the conclusion of the game, Jim Dandeneau and The Fourth Estate successfully dumped a bucket of ice water onto league executive Jeremy Schumacher of the Gouging Anklebiters.
– Craig ‘Ug’ Lacombe of the Unicorns did not streak.
———————————————
News and Notes

Molly Holder, Theo Waters, and Dustin Shutes scored their first BTSH goals….In a last ditch effort to avoid allowing any more regular season goals, What The Puck goalie Roderick ‘Guy LeDouche’ Cruz opted to sit out the game, claiming “business emergencies.”

New York City Hockey Player Blog

Inspired by our very own Eli, I’ve created a new blog/website for New York city ice, roller and ball hockey players called (somewhat imaginatively) New York City Hockey Player . It’s designed to be a clearing house for news about pickup games, leagues, equipment, my rants and raves and anything else hockey related I can fit in there. I’m hoping it will also be a good way for BTSHers to keep up with each other and the New York hockey scene during the off-season. If you’ve got a league or event you want to publicize or just feeling like airing out your opinion in public, drop me a line at nychockeyplayer@gmail.com or at the site, .

Thanks,
Patrick (Mighty Squirrels)

In 1980, after he lost a leg to cancer, he set out to run across Canada to raise money for Cancer research. He ran a marathon each and every day for 142 days until his “Marathon of Hope” was halted because his cancer had spread to his lungs. He ended up dying months later, but his spirit lives on.

Hey guys and Gals, a few Rehab’s are running in a 5K race to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters organization of NYC. Big Brothers Big Sisters provides mentors to children who need adult role models in their lives, so it’s definitely a great cause. A lot of you contributed last year, which was
great, and our team was actually recognized at the race as one of the top 5 fundraisers. If you think you might want to make a donation, please click on the link below. Every little bit helps!

———————————————
The Games

NOAM DOLGIN SCORES A GOAL FOR EACH DAY OF ROSH HASHANAH. Noam Dolgin scored his second goal of the game in overtime as Mathematics rallied to defeat Volanto’s Heroes – I mean, Cobra Kai, 3-2. Sharif ‘The Chocolate Buzzsaw’ Corinaldi of the Mathematics tied the game at one with five minutes remaining in regulation, and Jerome Ramos gave Cobra Kai the lead shortly thereafter, but Dolgin tied the game again with the goalie pulled and less than two minutes remaining. Peter Oblamski also scored a goal for Cobra Kai.

PRINT ACCOLADES WILL HAVE TO SUFFICE. Brendan ‘Dutch’ Kearney and Elizabeth Lewis each scored second half goals to lead the Corlears Hookers past the Dark Rainbows, 2-1. With the win, the Corlears Hookers clinched the top seed for the playoffs and won the BTSH equivalent of the President’s Trophy, which turns out to be nothing. P.T. Walkley scored the lone goal for the Dark Rainbows.

NO, NOT DUTCH. Brendan Grainger’s overtime goal completed the comeback from a two-goal second half deficit as the Unicorns stunned What The Puck, 4-3. Lindsay Turley tied the game on a deflected inbounds pass with less than one minute remaining in regulation. Chris Eng and Courtney Butler also scored goals for the Unicorns, while Brian Vroom scored two goals and Corey ‘Chongo’ Winters scored one for What The Puck.

TIM HANNON MANAGES TO TIE LBS. Tim Hannon scored three goals, and also added a shootout goal, as Pork Fried Rice and LBS fought to a 3-3 tie. Sam Anthony, Karsten Pitchon, and Ken ‘The Alpha Male’ Poulin each scored goals for LBS. Anthony added a shootout goal for LBS, and Pitchon hit the crossbar on the final attempt of the shootout.

HE MAY BE OUT OF BOUNDS, BUT HE IS STILL DANGEROUS. Zack Tinkelman scored the game winning goal on an out of bounds restart, as the Denim Demons beat Filthy Gorgeous, 4-1. The Denim Demons also received goals from Micael Holmström, Jeff Kamen, and Mike Pereira. James Pereira (no relation) scored the lone goal for Filthy Gorgeous. Ellery ‘The Nature Boy’ Gillette contributed nothing to this victory.

PLEXIGLASS WAS NOT NECESSARY TODAY. Gabe Wilson scored the only goal of the shootout, and added a regulation goal, as the Tuques defeated Fresh Kills, 3-2, for their third consecutive victory. Kevin ‘Tiny’ Foster and Dave Sokolyansky, who tied the game with less than two minutes remaining in regulation, were the goal scorers for Fresh Kills. Sarah Moore also scored a goal for the Tuques.

THE FLAG IS GOOD LUCK. Mexican Standoff, with a team flag hung along the fence, rallied for a 3-1 victory against the Bad Touch. Jason Greenberg, Gary Cohen, and Adam Shaw each scored a goal for Mexican Standoff, who (surprise!) used yet another goalie, Randy Locklair, making his first start in net of the season. Eric Devlin scored the lone goal for the Bad Touch. This game also featured referees Eric ‘El Guapo’ DiPierri and Jeremy Schumacher, the Best Looking Ref Duo in BTSH (with apologies to Adam and Jim from the Denim Demons).

TWO SCHUMACHER MENTIONS IN ONE REPORT. J.P. Chaput and Debbie Tomlinson each scored first half goals as the Rehabs squeezed past the Gouging Anklebiters, 2-1. Anthony Romeo, who dedicated his win to Britney Spears, registered 16 saves. Jeremy Schumacher scored the lone goal for the Gouging Anklebiters.

MIKY WOLF MUST BE GOOD AT BASEBALL. Miky Wolf scored the game winning goal with three minutes remaining in regulation on a waist-level swing at a crossing pass near the crease, as the Mighty Squirrels defeated the Sky Fighters, 4-2. Arthur ‘Lil’ Weezy’ Revechkis, Scott Brower, and Jesse Kalb also scored goals for the Mighty Squirrels, while Martin Cejka scored both goals for the Sky Fighters.

News and Notes

Filthy Gorgeous and the Rehabs are playing their rescheduled game at noon this Sunday. This affects the noon and 1 PM games, so please read the upcoming schedule, listed below, very carefully…. With one weekend of regular season games remaining, sixteen of the eighteen playoff spots are still up in the air. Only the Corlears Hookers (#1 seed) and the Sky Fighters (#18 seed) are locked into their playoff seeds, so all of the games will have some impact on seeding…. As a result of his generous donation of sand, a local beach was recently named after Gouging Anklebiters captain Phil ‘The Jeweled Shillelagh’ Donohue… BTSH members B.R. Rolya (Fresh Kills), Greg Altman (Cobra Kai) and Josh Sadler-Brown (Corlears Hookers) spent last Saturday picking up trash at Ft. Tilden Park on Far Rockaway as part of Annual Coast Clean-Up Day.

BTSH WEEKLY RECAP – 09 SEPTEMBER 2007
by Eli Kazin

Welcome back everyone. Catch me at the courts, the bars, or email me at themajordeegan [at] yahoo [dot] com with anything noteworthy. Onto the results…
——————————————–
The Games
DON’T LOOK NOW, BUT THE DARK RAINBOWS ARE IN SECOND PLACE. Josh Wilson scored the lone goal of the shootout as the Dark Rainbows climbed into second place with a 2-1 victory against Fresh Kills. P.T. Walkley scored the only regulation goal for the Dark Rainbows, while Patrick Moore scored the lone goal for Fresh Kills, with an assist from Caroline Currie.

CON ED TURNS THE POWER ON. Ed Lau, also know as Con Ed, scored two goals, including the game winner, to lead the Rehabs past What The Puck, 4-2. Stacy Kehoe and Kami Moore played the entire game for the Rehabs, who also received goals from Brian Wong and Jon Feldman. Anthony Romeo recorded 34 saves for the Rehabs in the victory, while Brian Vroom scored both goals for What The Puck.

THE NATURE BOY HAS BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN PLAY HOCKEY. With Ellery ‘The Nature Boy’ Gillette absent, the Denim Demons carried on and defeated Pork Fried Rice, 2-1. Gillette chose to watch his Washington Redskins defeat the Miami Dolphins, but managed to appear, wearing a Mike Sellers jersey, at the Johnson’s after the game. Jeff Kamen scored both goals for the Denim Demons, while Brian Barrett scored the lone goal, a sick backhanded shot that went topshelf, with under 2 minutes left in the game, for Pork Fried Rice.

DUTCH WANTS YOU TO KNOW HE HAS RETURNED. Brendan ‘Dutch’ Kearney scored four goals, including the game winning goal, as the Corlears Hookers routed the Sky Fighters, 10-1. The Corlears Hookers also received two goals each from Anshu Sinha and Gavin Kearney (you know, Dutch’s brother), and one goal each from Jason Eitel and Albert ‘Al’ Huang. Martin Cejka scored the lone goal for the Sky Fighters, who, despite the lopsided score, had a fair tally of quality scoring chances, involving two new female players on a number of impressive plays.

PLEXIGLASS STOPS EVERYTHING. Minkus registered his first shutout of the season as the Tuques blanked Mexican Standoff, 4-0. It should be noted, however, that Minkus played the entire game with a sheet of clear plexiglass positioned in front of the goal mouth, which may have contributed to his flawless performance. The goal scorers for the Tuques were Bill Monahan, Caroline Johnston, Dean Keyworth, and Todd Robertson.

THE MIGHTY SQUIRRELS RECORD HAS BEEN REARRANGED TO REFLECT ANOTHER LOSS. Despite the stellar goaltender of Eric Breitman, the first game appearance of 2007 for Jason ‘Cheek’ Cheek (like this: points to cheek), and pregame trash talk that Rachel ‘A-Korn’ Greene would rearrange the face of Alex ‘Villano VI’ Zabala, the Unicorns emerged with a 2-1 victory against the Mighty Squirrels, as Aaron Mullan scored the only goal of the shootout. Sara Pourghasemi scored the only regulation goal for the Unicorns, while former Unicorn Jesse Kalb scored the lone goal for the Mighty Squirrels.

THERE IS A FIFTY PERCENT CHANCE HIS NAME IS SPELLED WRONG. Joe Pereira scored the game winning goal with three minutes remaining in regulation as Filthy Gorgeous beat Cobra Kai, 2-1. Liza Watts also scored for Filthy Gorgeous, while Brian ‘The Flashlight’ Morrison scored the lone goal for Cobra Kai.

WATCH OUT FOR LBS. Karsten Pitchon scored three goals, Fernando Limonic chipped in two, and Samuel Anthony and Ken ‘The Alpha Male’ Poulin each added one goal, as LBS defeated the Gouging Anklebiters, 7-3, for their fifth consecutive victory. For the Gouging Anklebiters, Eric ‘El Guapo’ DiPierri scored two goals and Charles DeFranco had one goal.

THE BAD TOUCH HAVE MASTERED THE ART OF THE COMEBACK. The Bad Touch scored three goals in the final ten minutes, their fourth come-from-behind victory of the season, to defeat the Mathematics, 4-3. Shannon Roddy scored the game winning goal with two minutes remaining in regulation on a shot that was slowed by the Math goalie, but dribbled through, and the Bad Touch also received two goals from Danny Canarick and one goal from Scott Rosenthal. Bradley Schmidt (two) and Noam Dolgin (one) were the goal scorers for the Mathematics, who also received full fifty-minute efforts from Laura MacNeil and Georgine ‘Mulva’ Paulin.

Unsung Hero of the Week
The unsung hero for this week is Lisa Harrington of the Tuques, who was playing with a ruptured disc in her back. The Tuques only had three females in uniform, so Harrington had to play a large balance of the game.

News and Notes

In the last report, the Denim Demons were credited with a 4-1 victory against the Bad Touch, but the final score from that game was actually 5-1. Also, Molly Jacobs was listed as the only female in attendance for LBS, but teammate Alexandra Chenitz was also present to cheer on her team, despite being unable to play in the game due to an injury….Shannon Roddy of the Bad Touch and Jason Eitel of the Corlears Hookers each scored their first BTSH goal….Jeffrey Hendricks of Mexican Standoff may be receiving a bill from the league office for one orange ball in the near future, as in the waning moments of his game, he proceeded to slip and fall on the court, grab the ball in play, and launch it over the fence in the direction of the FDR Drive….(he was arrested, arraigned and is serving a 30-month sentance at Rikers for “silly sports antics” – ed.) Special thanks to Albert ‘Al’ Huang and Chris “No Nickname Yet” Eng for helping Bob ‘Olmec’ Weyersberg paint the creases and set up the goals….Congratulations to Andy Pratt and Sarah Coombs of the Mathematics on their recent nuptials. (Bob W. reffed his 100th official BTSH game, to the encouraging cheers of, “That was a F*%ING GOAL, you blind F@&CK!” and “If you sucked any more, you’d put Hoover out of business!” He was humbled by the expressions of adulation. -ed.)
