Full Schedule Released!

March 22nd, 2010

Denis Is A Man Of Few Words

We are proud to announce that the full 2010 BTSH schedule has now been posted.  Under the 2010 Schedule tab, you can now find every single game of the upcoming season, including its time and location.

Also, please note two additions to the calendar.  First, the games originally slated for Sunday, August 29 have been moved to Saturday, August 28 (pending league approval).  This Saturday docket would be accompanied by a post-game Pub Crawl in the Tompkins area.  Second, on June 6, Rachel “A-Korn” Greene and Craig “Ug” LaCombe will host a Sega NHL 94 Tourney/Fundraiser to benefit Kelly Buchanan.  Details on that event forthcoming, but you should definitely save the date.
