Full Schedule Released!
Monday, March 22nd, 2010Denis 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.
Hockey Night In Tompkins Schedule
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010
Prior to the 2009 season, teams in BTSH always dreaded seeing a late game time listed on their schedule. With the rest of the league already at the bars, the last game of the day meant playing on an empty court and taking a lonely walk in the dark from Corlears Hook Park (or Moffo Rink) to Rivington Street. However, when the league moved to Tompkins, the late game took on a whole new meaning. With bars in close proximity, league members actually stayed to watch their friends compete, even after sunset, making the day’s final contest a much bigger event than it was in years past. Combine that with your humble correspondents’ increased focus on the late game matchups in the weekly previews, and the tradition of Hockey Night In Tompkins was born.
Thus, with anticipation building on who will have the privilege to compete on this league-wide stage, here is the Hockey Night In Tompkins schedule for the 2010 season:
Opening Day Schedule Released!
Sunday, March 14th, 2010
After several changes in the offseason, the 2010 BTSH season is finally just four weeks away. The league will now consist of 20 teams with the addition of two expansion teams, the Butchers and a yet unnamed team captained by Amy Jones (formerly of Fresh Kills fame). Further, the Mighty Squirrels have rebranded as Poutine Machine under the leadership of new captain Patrick “Sven” Larsen, while, under little to no leadership, Mexican Standoff has temporarily rebranded as the Gonorrhea Angels.
The 20 teams will be divided into two 10-team conferences (Weyersberg and Schumacher), with each conference consisting of two 5-team divisions. They are as follows:
Weyersberg Conference
Rubens Division: Corlears Hookers, Denim Demons, Filthy Gorgeous, LBS, Inc., What The Puck
Hackett Division: Dark Rainbows, Happy Little Elves, Rehabs, Sky Fighters, Unicorns
Schumacher Conference
Donohue Division: Butchers, Cobra Kai, Fresh Kills, Gouging Anklebiters, Tuques
MacNeil Division: Amy Jones’ New Team, Gonorrhea Angels, Mathematics, Mega Touch, Poutine Machine
Each team will play the other four teams in its division twice, the other five in its conference once, and five teams from the other conference once. The full schedule will be released on Sunday, March 21, but the Opening Day schedule is posted after the break.

An Offseason Message From The Media
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010This Is The Only Performance Enhancer Adriano Needs
With the 2010 season rapidly approaching, we (the BTSH media) would like to provide you, the loyal reader, with a quick update of what’s on tap for the upcoming season. After all, it has been a while since we have posted anything new, and we are getting eager to start playing. Thus, this update has absolutely nothing to do with the increasingly high volume of complaints regarding Dr. Byron Clavicle’s guest column still being the lead post on the website.
First, congratulations to BTSH’s new league manager Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta and new DC Manager Haanwa Chau on their recent election to two of the league’s highest posts. Although we have high expectations for both officials, we do hope that Haanwa is up to the task, as she has some very big shoes to fill.
Second, we would like to remind everyone to check the website frequently in advance of the 2010 season. We plan on several posts prior to Opening Day, including our annual individual team previews, which are appearing for the third consecutive season. Additionally, due to the retirement of Jeremy “The Foot” Schumacher and the Schuietron 3000, we will be assuming the creation of the 2010 season schedule. To build anticipation, we will release parts of the schedule prior to the entire season docket, beginning with Opening Weekend and Hockey Night in Tompkins.
Finally, we are looking for a few correspondents to assist us in our duties. If you are interested in helping us gather scoring information or writing game previews, or if you have your own idea for a weekly segment in the News and Notes post, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Your Humble Correspondents,
Eli Kazin & Derek Tagliarino
