The playoffs are here!  The playoffs are here!  The playoffs are FINALLY HERE!

19. Dark Rainbows at 14. Butchers – 1 pm, East
by Jerome

In this corner: #19 Dark Rainbows (4-13-1)

The road so far: Spotted with legit wins this year, which is a stark contrast to last year’s campaign and postseason.

The history books: Known for having a stacked team in the gilded age of BTSH, this generation has of late followed the trend of other BTSH squads by actively scouting youth and talent. The middle years of the Tompkins era have been a long-term period of rebirth (sorta) with some veterans (5-ish years) staying, some players doing part-time then gradually phasing themselves out of the league, and other players establishing new beginnings.

Injury report: Only if some of the Rainbow females “ironmanned” the crap out Hockaway.

One player to watch: Katherine. She’s cute.

Definitely.

Key number: 201-2… ah wait… it’s 1: Of their four wins, none of them were against a first division team. They’ll put up a loud celebration not only for making the following round, but also against a team of the league’s highest echelons. Read the rest of this entry »

Let’s get this over with. Here Isaac:

Oh man, did Poutine win 3 games and not get a star? Yikes…they should have. But I didn’t realize it when I started writing so I’m going to stick with the three I have…though Lee should be arrested for stealing their star. Scum.

Third Star
Lee B of Corlears Hookers

An unnamed source (Noelle) said, “Lee is actually much better in net than when he plays out.” When I asked did he score in the second game, she said, “Of course not.” So Lee will have to settle for the Third Star for beating the Sky Fighters. Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s what we know:

A depleted Hookers squad, with Lee Bonkers in net, narrowly survived against the Sky Fighters.

The Demons took Nicorette and the Machine to a shootout, but Jerome’s fancy footwork got the shootout winner in the 7th round.

Scott K (the OG) scored first for Gut Rot, however, Zach F then scored 4 straight for the Demons.

The Poos finally decided to finish their games and brushed aside the Dark Rainbows.

Brett and the Dark Rainbows (dude got a brace) gave the Trembles and Instant Karma a good game, but Cory’s hat trick earned Karma their first 20 point season.

The Norri were finally back at BTSH and in the lineup for Math against the Butchers!  That’s about all they celebrated as Pete d and Sabrina rolled to a W.

The Pucks and Poutine game got a bit serious at times (get better Mikey) with Zac watching from the sidelines (you get better as well big guy) and Jerome nailing the empty netter to secure the his team’s third victory of the day.

Danielle and Filthier welcomed back Jena and Ben from Colorado and overcame the 2-0 hole they found themselves in a the half against Phil’s Biters to win, baby.  (Not sure if Probie scored…) Read the rest of this entry »

I still remember the first time I encountered BTSH. Walking my dog around Tompkins, I was instantly intrigued by the large crowd of people at the skate park playing sneaker hockey and drinking beer. It looked rowdy, it looked fast paced, it looked fun.  It reminded me of playing floor hockey in gym class- a crowd favorite. I stood nostalgically watching a shootout, seeing the rambunctious cheers from not just those on the team but everyone on the blacktop and knew this was something I wanted to be a part of. I kept walking my dog around the courts every Sunday until I finally managed to ask someone leaving what the league was. Our exchange was brief but helpful:

“What’s this called?”
“Black top street hockey!”
“How can I join?”
“There’s a website, you can email the league and try to be a free agent.”

I sent an email but never heard back. You guys are like the mafia- hard to get in, impossible to leave. A year later a work softball teammate of mine asked if I wanted to join his team because “we could use some girls”. I instantly said yes, not realizing it was the same league that had previously eluded me. And thus, I became Jess D of the Dark Rainbows.
