Week 13 News and Notes
August 3rd, 2010The Demons Have More Fans Than You
As per tradition, the Denim Demons once again hosted their annual “Demons Family Day” this past Sunday. All players on the team were highly encouraged to invite their families for some good, clean Demons hockey. Thus, the West Court dugouts were packed with red, as the honored guests witnessed the Demons defeat the defending champion Sky Fighters 1-0 in a spirited Hockey Night in Tompkins national telecast. This marked the second consecutive shutout for the Demons on Family Day, who also beat Cobra Kai 2-0 in 2009.
With record attendance and several family members making lengthy treks to reach the game, the event was viewed as a huge success. Notable attendees included frequent btsh.org commenter Joe “Twinkle Toes” Tinkelman, Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens’ mother, the Carsons, and Abby “Tayne” Meisterman’s moms. Rubens’ mother even donned a throwback Adam Rubens jersey to support her wonderful son. She noted, “…the way my son took down the Sky Fighters, he truly is a legend killer!”

Week 13 Preview

GAME OF THE WEEK
Gut Rot (4-6-0-1) at Mathematics (4-5-0-2)
Location: Tompkins East, 4:30 PM
All-Time Series: First Meeting
Game Notes: Two teams within striking distance of the MacNeil Division crown face off for the only time this season. Prior to last week’s tough loss against the Denim Demons, Gut Rot had won three games in a row. Included in this stretch were an overtime triumph against the defending champion Sky Fighters and a gratifying shootout victory over the Butchers (and many of their former teammates). The team is now third in the division, four points behind the first place Tompkins Square Riots. The Mathematics sit in second place, just three points behind the Riots. They have won their last three games, including last Sunday’s 4-2 victory over the Unicorns, their most notable of the season. They have also tallied 13 goals during this streak, which is more than half of their season total. With Gut Rot and the Mathematics finally out of the cellar of the MacNeil Division, neither will want to relinquish its momentum.
Keys To The Game:
1. Although much of the media’s attention has been on Fresh Kills rookie goaltender Patrick Barch, Gut Rot’s rookie between the pipes, Bill, has also had a very solid season. He has been a consistent backbone as the defense continues to build its chemistry following the offseason departures.
2. Mathematics defender Andy Pratt finally had his “Andy Pratt Game” last weekend, scoring three times against the Unicorns. His presence on the point also generates numerous scoring chances for his teammates.
3. Vicky of Gut Rot and the Mathematics’ Ali Corsi have been friends since attending the same high school. Much like Diana Hart, who was forced to watch her husband the British Bulldog and brother Bret “The Hitman” Hart wrestle each other during Summerslam ’92, Vicky’s sister Susannah Pasquantonio is torn between her allegiance to her sister and her good friend.
Watchability: 3.5 Gilligans. Mathematics spirit captain Laura is super excited and “can’t wait” for this game.
Week 12 News and Notes
July 27th, 2010Anklebiters Caught!
Disciplinary Committee Chair Haanwa Chau has finally completed her thorough investigation into alleged hazing violations against the Gouging Anklebiters. She has put forth the following report:
The following charges are brought:
First, that the Gouging Anklebiters did knowingly violate the rules governing free agent recruitment by serving alcohol to new players during scrimmage weeks and after established drinking hours.
Second, that for the fifth consecutive season, the Anklebieters have achieved a deficient knowledge of league rules and guidelines.
Third, that the Anklebiters routinely provided dangerous performance-enhancing drugs to its players during the playoff weeks.
And most recently, that a Roman toga party was held, from which I have received two dozen reports of individual acts of perversion so profound and disgusting that decorum prohibits listing them here.
These are the charges as recorded this day July 27, 2010. Faithfully submitted, Haanwa Chau, Disciplinary Chair.
After consulting with former Disciplinary Chair, Jeremy “The Foot” Schumacher, Chau has placed the Anklebiters on “double secret probation”.
