Week 9 News and Notes
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010Will Hurricane Sharif Hit NYC On August 1?
Although Summer has just begun, the BTSH calendar is rapidly filling up with special events and social festivities. Here is a look at what is upcoming:
August 1 – Old Timers’ Game. To commemorate BTSH’s 10-year anniversary, Randy Locklair of the Butchers is organizing an Old Timers’ Game. The game will feature long-standing veterans of the league, as well as a few retired players. Although none of the retired players have been confirmed as of yet, some of Randy’s targets include “Hollywood” Jeff Lesser, Sharif “The Chocolate Buzzsaw” Corinaldi, Brendan “Flounder” Hay, Molly Jacobs, Peter “Ski” Oblamski, and Jeremy “The Foot” Schumacher.
August 8 – Farewell to Corlears & Johnsons Olympics. BTSH will return to Corlears Hook Park for one last hurrah before NYC converts it to a turf field. Relive some memories as you experience for the last time the joys of the heckle wall, peeing alongside the FDR, and celebrating a goal on the bird bath. After the games, head on over to Welcome to the Johnsons, where Phil “Sandy” Donohue (GA) and bartender Brent Smith will once again host the Johnsons Olympics. Just make sure you don’t accept any cupcakes from Minkus while there.
Thank You
Sunday, November 8th, 2009Dear Readers,
With another BTSH season in the record books, we would like to take one last opportunity to thank you for your loyal and devoted support. We have really enjoyed providing you with our special blend of hockey insight, humor, and information each week (we call it “hockhumtion”), and look forward to doing it again next season.
This first season at Tompkins Square Park was a banner year for BTSH. Although the league saw a lot of changes, we both feel the move from Corlears was for the better. We have many fond memories of the past season and here are a few of our favorites:
- “rain fears”
- The Big Sexy Tour 2009
- Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer’s wish list
- any time Susannah ate something
- Rubens Rock
- Hockey Night in Tompkins
In addition, we would especially like to thank the following for taking our many jokes in good stride despite being the butt of most of them:
- Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens
- Jeremy “The Foot” Schumacher
- Filthy Gorgeous’ retro lime green jerseys
- Ben Chadwick, Rich Glanzer, and the Happy Little Elves
- team cancer Ant “Father Time” Ventolieri
- Tuques hockey.
- Joe Lops
- Bob “Olmec” Weyersberg
As a token of our appreciation, we would like to leave you with this final gift:
Your humble correspondents,
Eli Kazin &
Derek Tagliarino
Week 11 News and Notes
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009Neck Hole Not Included
Ant’s New Shirt Was Conspicuously Missing
Although What The Puck may play like a well-oiled machine, the team hasn’t been on the same page fashion-wise all season. Primarily due to captain Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer’s crafty offseason acquisitions, the team has been forced to wear a fairly random assortment of semi-orange team uniforms. Some of the more humorous variations on the WTP shirt have been Salvatore Malguarnera, Jr.’s faded Islanders t-shirt, Zimmer’s bright orange Carlos Beltran mock jersey, Michelle Doucet’s $4 Wal-Mart generic, Adriano Bratta’s blinding day-glo top, and Ollie Hartman’s Teaches Hoops shirt he found in a Salvation Army.
Always quick to respond to team problems, Mad Dog took it upon himself to design a new look for his squad. Larry’s hot new style (termed “Version 9.0”) includes the usual orange and blue coloring with “WHAT the PUCK?” written across the front. “9.0” (signifying the team’s ninth season) is displayed in the bottom left corner. The new duds were so popular, even the injured players on the sidelines adorned them. Sadly, with What the Puck’s surprising loss to the Unicorns, the team is now 0-1 in their new jerseys.

Week 1 News and Notes
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008Amy Lott Is Very Impressed With Amy Lott
Sky Fighters Missed the Memo: Children Should Make the Shirts, Not Design Them
Mexican Standoff, Unicorns, and Dark Rainbows all unveiled new uniforms on Sunday, while the Sky Fighters plan to inaugurate their “lovely” new jerseys (as modeled by Amy Lott above) this Sunday. In an attempt to be more like the Mighty Squirrels (“Please!”), the Gouging Anklebiters sported new track jackets. There is no word yet on whether they plan to add aging former goalies with back issues to their roster.
