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.

GAME OF THE WEEK
Corlears Hookers vs. Gouging Anklebiters
Location: Corlears North, 4:00 PM
All-Time Series: Corlears Hookers lead 2-0
Game Notes:
When these two teams last met, the Gouging Anklebiters nearly pulled off a monumental playoff upset. However, with just fifteen seconds left in regulation, Peter “Purple Rain” Putka scored the equalizing goal to force overtime, where Gavin “Dutch’s Brother” Kearney scored the game winner. Neither team experienced a lot of turnover in the offseason, so this will be a true playoff rematch. A close, low-scoring game is expected.
Keys to the Game:
1. Goalie “Quiet” Mike O’Connor held the explosive Corlears Hookers offense to only five goals in more than 100 minutes of play last season. For the Anklebiters to have a chance, he must play well.
2. The Corlears Hookers are coming off of their longest losing streak ever. Will the loss to the Rainbows still be in their heads?
3. Eric “El Guapo” DiPierri’s mother has promised him extra ice cream should the Anklebiters win. He’ll be playing hard.
Eli’s Pick: Corlears Hookers. Even the Anklebiters will readily admit that they historically start the season slowly.
Derek’s Pick: Corlears Hookers. Congratulations to Dutch’s Brother, who’s expecting a child soon (who will be named Dutch’s Nephew/Niece).
