In the team&#8217;s continuing quest to go incognito this season, Peaches and his crew have toned down the team&#8217;s shirt to a very plain white, with a small, modest logo. In addition, the jerseys no longer have player nicknames on the back, as Standoff has gone the New England Patriots route by choosing to highlight the team over individuality.

Perhaps it was the four nets set up on the western court, or perhaps it was the hockey players wearing roller blades. Either way, with a pickup game of roller hockey underway as BTSH was ready to start the day, league officials Bob &#8220;Olmec&#8221; Weyersberg and Jeremy &#8220;The Foot&#8221; Schumacher were forced to flex some muscle. Although Olmec and The Foot eventually stomped out the problem, the reluctance of the roller bladers to leave caused a delay of nearly thirty minutes in the BTSH schedule (as opposed to the standard twenty minute delay).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Corrections<\/strong><br \/>\nIn a startling turn of events, captain Larry &#8220;Mad Dog&#8221; Zimmer has rescinded his offer to Martin &#8220;Ocho Cinco&#8221; Cejka to join What The Puck.
