Week 4 News and Notes
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010Who Can Resist The Allure Of Family Day?
Inspired by the success of the Denim Demons’ Family Day in 2009, this past Sunday marked the first ever league-wide Family Day. League manager Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta encouraged all league members to invite their families and friends, and also to prepare a cherished food item.
Although the event was met with mild success, there were still several league members who participated. Amy Kovner of the Gouging Anklebiters brought chocolate-covered strawberries (STRAWBERRIES? AAAHHH!!!) and her husband, Mr. Kovner (Todd). Anklebiters captain Phil “Sandy” Donohue shared cupcakes from Sugar Sweet Sunshine bakery, which thankfully did not find their way into any of Minkus’ crevices. Jason Eitel of the Corlears Hookers forced his girlfriend to cook homemade empenadas with salsa, which he then noted were made by a real Colombian (unlike Eitel, who is neither Colombian nor Canadian). Bratta’s mother even made a brief cameo to serve her world famous tiramisu.
Mike Sokolyansky of Fresh Kills brought his brother Dave, who scored a goal, but did not cook.
Week 2 News and Notes
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010ACS Tournament Coming May 1
On Saturday May 1st, the Rehabs’ own “Con” Ed Lau will once again host his annual street hockey tournament to benefit the American Cancer Society. It will take place from 9 AM to 3 PM at Moffo Rink in lower Manhattan. To play, all you need to do is donate a minimum of $30 and sign a waiver upon arrival. If you and a friend each donate $60 per person, both of you can be placed on the same team. Otherwise, the teams will be created in a manner that distributes the talent evenly.
As usual, Ed stresses that “THIS IS A NON-CONTACT EVENT WITH NO SLAPSHOTS AND NO TOLERANCE FOR AGGRESSION”. Remember, we’re all playing for charity!
Online registration is strongly encouraged as a receipt will be issued to you directly, and there is the potential for employer donation matching. To date, the tournament has raised more than $10,000, and Ed expects to crack the $16,000 barrier this year.
For more information, contact “Con” Ed Lau or Liza Watts.

Special Note From “Con” Ed Lau
Friday, June 27th, 2008Thank You
I wanted to thank everyone who played in or donated to the third annual American Cancer Society Street Hockey Tournament on April 19th. I especially wanted to thank everyone who helped pull off this event – there are too many to mention. It was 6 teams, 80+ players and a lot of hockey.
We raised over $3,200 this year and our three year cumulative total is just shy of $10,000. With company matching, I’m sure we’ve raised even more. Stay tuned for next year’s tournament, and I hope to see you there.
