Week 7 Three Stars
Tuesday, June 10th, 2014Four hat tricks, some shutouts and lots of spirited play this week in BTSH. Hell even a couple of free agents made some big splashes. In other words…it was a glorious week.
A lot of people went home happy from BTSH on Sunday…including this dog.
Week 7 Part 2
Thursday, June 5th, 2014OK…so we said you’d have to earn the GOTW with some Ws, but What the Puck and the Riots have combined for one win between them. (But what a win it was!) Actually, I don’t remember the win at all, but it was by the Riots. But we at The Authority are nothing if we are not fair, so we decided to give WTP and the Riots a fresh start.
As punishment for their losses, the Riots and WTP had to stay after class for detention.

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.
Championship Game Box Score
Monday, October 31st, 2011Congratulations Fresh Kills, 2011 BTSH Champions!
“Hollywood” Jeff Lesser Would Be Proud
TOMPKINS SQUARE PARK – Fresh Kills defenseman Kevin “The Planet” Foster has always been known and feared for his long, booming shots from the point. Although the sage veteran has been relatively quiet throughout regular and postseason, he made a huge impact in Sunday’s championship game. Foster’s blast from the blue line late in the second half broke a 1-1 stalemate and clinched his second BTSH championship with Fresh Kills.
Foster’s captain Dave Sokolyansky was effusive in his praise for the stalwart defender. Soko noted, “This couldn’t have happened to a nicer, more sensitive guy. As much as I wanted to win, I’m relieved that Kevin scored the game-winner instead of someone like my brother [Mike Sokolyanksy], who’s been a real source of irritation and consternation this season.” Foster’s goal came as a bit of surprise, as he had scored just one goal during the 2011 season and two in 2010.
Fresh Kills’ other goal also came from the defense. Patrick Moore, who only had two goals in 2011 himself, tied the game at one midway through the first half. Moore’s goal was set up by the “Where am I?” line, consisting of Nick Hobbs and Scott Lee. Lee, who was nearly late for the final after losing track of time while exploring Union Square, started the play with a battle along the dugout behind the net. He chipped a pass to Hobbs, who found Moore wide open in the slot.
Despite Foster and Moore’s heroics, Fresh Kills still voted goaltender Patrick Barch as the team’s playoff MVP. Barch allowed just five goals through four playoff games and made numerous clutch saves in the second half of the final to preserve the 1-1 tie. Defender Ariel Imas commented, “It’s comforting knowing that Patrick is behind me. I try to block as much as I can, but I know that if a shot gets through, Patrick will always come up with the big save.” Barch finished fourth in BTSH with a 1.60 GAA during the regular season.
What The Puck’s goal also came from an unexpected source, as rookie forward Garrett Poston opened the scoring five and a half minutes into the game. Poston, an overlooked part of captain Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer’s offseason acquisitions, rifled a wrist shot past Barch after receiving a cross-court pass from “The All-American Canadian” Adam Skuse (a more heralded acquisition), who was wearing his lucky Bowdoin sweatpants for the game.
What The Puck was playing in its second championship in the past three seasons, as the team also lost in 2009 to the Sky Fighters. Zimmer, who has been the team’s captain since its inception in 2001, was disappointed with the outcome of the game. However, his mood brightened when veteran Mike “The X-Factor” Woodsworth, Amy Farley, and the rest of What The Puck presented their sheepish leader with a scrapbook filled with photos and What The Puck memories.
