Full Schedule Released!
Sunday, March 4th, 2012Larry Zimmer Appreciation Day Is Scheduled For September 16
We are proud to announce that the full 2012 BTSH schedule has now been posted. Under the 2012 Schedule tab, you can now find every single game of the upcoming season, including its time and location.
Some highlights of the 2012 season include the following:
- Fresh Kills and What The Puck square off in the traditional Opening Day title game rematch
- Mega Touch opens the season with five consecutive road games, due to offseason renovations of the team’s home arena, the East Village Fairgrounds. Mega Touch co-captain Julie Katz blames architect Joe Polowczuk for the delay. The team’s home opener will be on May 6 against the Corlears Hookers.
- May 20 is officially “Rivalry Day,” as every BTSH team will face its most hated rival. Matchups include the Happy Little Elves vs. Cobra Kai for possession of the Barnacle Bowl, the Tompkins Square Riots vs. Fresh Kills, and the Butchers vs. Gut Rot.
- Hockey Night in Tompkins returns with another fantastic slate of national and regional telecasts, including Filthy Gorgeous vs. Happy Little Elves on April 15, La Famiglia vs. Sky Fighters on June 10, Poutine Machine vs. Corlears Hookers on July 22, and Gut Rot vs. Gouging Anklebiters on September 9.
- All three Fairy Tale Cup games are scheduled for consecutive weeks on July 15, 22, and 29. Additionally, the Dark Rainbows and Unicorns will play a non-Fairy Tale Cup game as part of Rivalry Day.
- The Denim Demons and Fresh Kills play a home and home series on back to back weeks: July 8 and 15
- Once again, a tentative rain date has been added on September 23 in the likely event that earlier games will be canceled due to “rain fears.”
- Much like every other team in the league, the Rehabs will play a full 18-game schedule, consisting of nine home and nine road games.
Opening Day Schedule Released!
Tuesday, February 28th, 2012Filthy Can’t Believe They’re In The Bratta Division
Opening Day 2012 is less than a month away, and as a special treat for the #BTSHUniverse, we are proud to unveil a new and improved set of conference and division names. As per an executive decision by Rich Glanzer, the former Weyersberg and Schumacher conferences will now be known as the Tagliarino and Kazin conferences, respectively. In addition, the former Rubens, Hackett, Donohue, and MacNeil divisions have been renamed to Bratta, Brown, Larsen, and Glanzer divisions.
As expected, there have already been several mixed reactions to these name changes. Mega Touch co-captain Eric Devlin wondered, “Wait, why is it called the Glanzer Division? People were really clamoring for these name changes, huh?” Poutine Machine foreigner Jo-Ann Provencher seemed confused, asking, “What ‘appen to ze ‘ackett Division?” League spark plug and occasional frequent heel, Luisa Mirarchi, strongly supports the new names. She exclaimed, “I love these names, man! I know all of the people they’re named after!”

Hockey Night In Tompkins Schedule
Sunday, February 27th, 2011
When BTSH moved to Tompkins Square Park in 2009, the previously dreaded late game quickly became a lot more desirable. In addition to the obvious benefit of allowing players to sleep in from their Saturday night activities, the new location allowed more spectators to stay and cheer on the competing teams. Bars and restaurants were now in close proximity, and league members didn’t mind watching the late game, as civilization was just a two minute walk from the court. Combine these advantages 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.
Extended coverage of the prestigious Hockey Night in Tompkins games began during the 2010 season. Teams playing in this coveted time slot began to anticipate longer, more thorough previews written by BTSH.org’s cub reporter Jesse Kalb. His unique style and extremely accurate “Jesse the Greek” predictions garnered him a cult-like following among even the most casual of site readers. As a result, we at the media are extremely proud to announce that Kalb will return to cover the Hockey Night in Tompkins games in the 2011 season.
Thus, with anticipation building on who will have the privilege to compete on this league-wide stage, here is the complete Hockey Night in Tompkins schedule for the 2011 season:
Opening Day Schedule Released!
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011Sorry, ‘Biters, You’ve Been Demoted
Even though there is still snow on the ground, the BTSH season is rapidly approaching. Once again, the league will consist of 20 teams divided into two conferences and four divisions. As a reward for winning their respective divisions, the Tompkins Square Riots, Fresh Kills, and the Rehabs have been promoted to a higher division. In addition, despite failing to win the prestigious, yet imaginary, Fairy Tale Cup, the Happy Little Elves were also promoted. Here is the new divisional breakdown:
Weyersberg Conference
Rubens Division: Corlears Hookers, Denim Demons, Filthy Gorgeous, Happy Little Elves, Rehabs
Hackett Division: Dark Rainbows, Fresh Kills, LBS, Inc., Sky Fighters, What The Puck
Schumacher Conference
Donohue Division: Butchers, Cobra Kai, La Famiglia, Tompkins Square Riots, Unicorns
MacNeil Division: Gouging Anklebiters, Gut Rot, Mathematics, Mega Touch, Poutine Machine
As in 2010, 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.
Regular season play will commence on Sunday, March 27. As is now tradition, Opening Day will consist primarily of divisional games and will feature a rematch of the preceding season’s championship. The full schedule will be released on Tuesday, March 1, but to whet your appetite, the Opening Day schedule is posted after the break.
