Week 6 News and Notes
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008Times Are Changing, Betty
It’s a Race!!!
As part of the upcoming weekend’s Revenge of the Nerds themed festivities, Peaches will host the (potentially) First Annual BTSH Tricycle Race. The race will feature league members riding tricycles around Corlears Hook Park, while driking a beer prior to each lap. Although the media has not received a list of the entrants, here are some of the possible favorites for the competition:
–Andrea “Vegetable Lasagna” Schloeder (Mighty Squirrels). Her ability to drink will finally benefit her.
–Zach “Cryme Tyme” Weiner (Gouging Anklebiters). His grit and determination could give him the extra push he needs on the final lap.
–Heidi “The Maple Leaf Muscle” Karst (Fresh Kills). She may be one of the few league members who can still fit on and ride a tricycle.
–Jarome “Hornswoggle” Ramos (Happy Little Elves). His enthusiasm is unmatched.
–Paul “Ashy Larry” Vernon (Filthy Gorgeous). He could go from ashy to classy.
The race will be at 6:30 PM, immediately preceding the Women’s All-Star Game. Entrance fee is $20. Contact Jefferson by Thursday to enter or for more information.

Week 6 Preview
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008Volanto’s Oblamski’s Heroes
Cobra Kai (1-3-1) vs. Sky Fighters (3-1)
Location: Corlears North, 5:00 PM
All-Time Series: Tied 1-1
Game Notes: After losing their first three games of the season, Cobra Kai appears to have turned the corner with a tie against the Denim Demons and a win against the Gouging Anklebiters. Newcomer Adriano Bratta leads the Dojo’s offense with seven goals, putting him amongst the league leaders as well. Although the Sky Fighters suffered their first loss of the season in their last game against Filthy Gorgeous, they have still been a pleasant surprise. Grizzled veteran Martin Cejka also has seven goals to lead the Sky Fighters. Both Bratta and Cejka account for more than fifty percent of their respective team’s overall goals.
Keys to the Game:
1. The Sky Fighters have not played a game since May 4. They’ll need to shake off the rust early in this one.
2. Paul “P.J.” Lopez has been one of the best goalies in BTSH this season. Even in their losses, Cobra Kai has had a fighting chance in all of their games because of him.
3. The Sky Fighters are winless since their now infamous bet with the Happy Little Elves. Captain Amy Lott needs to pick a new name for the Elves soon, so her team can–you know–return its focus to hockey.
Eli’s Pick: Sky Fighters. Goalie James Stein has provided the balance that they were lacking in 2007.
Derek’s Pick: Cobra Kai. Forward Greg “Lysol” Altman is one of the most underrated players in the league in playmaking ability, intimidation, and (according to himself) general good looks. At least two of these qualities will be important in Sunday’s game.

Week 5 News and Notes

The Real Physical Challenge Was For Jim to Get His Shirt On
After the smashing success of their Dunkin’ Donuts themed uniforms, the Denim Demons honored another American institution with new Double Dare themed t-shirts. In addition to a graphic on the front of the shirt, the new version also features player names and numbers on the back (for those of you who can’t tell the difference between “Hacksaw” Jim Dandeneau and Jeff Kamen by looking at their fronts). Abigail Meisterman may have the most unique combination with “Dewey” as her name and the Dewey Decimal System classification for hockey as her number (796.962). However, Micael Holmström’s subtlety of just using his last name and a non-descript number (16) is by far the most brilliant. In a potential oversight, Adam “Legen(d) Killer” Rubens’s shirt only reads “Legen”, indicating that D may be missing from his game. He claims the reason for the omission will be revealed at a later date and time…
