<\/a><\/strong><\/a><\/strong>Color<\/strong>: Royal Blue \u00a0<\/p>\n Phil “Sandy” Donahue filed the following report for his team:<\/p>\n The Anklebiters enjoyed an offseaon of rest and relaxation, and now look to take BTSH by storm in 2008.\u00a0 A cohesive unit, these Anklebiters are ready to go to battle with a virtually unchanged roster over the last four years. On offense, Alt. Captain Shannon Voto anticipates a successful campaign and will gladly welcome back a pair of women who were wed last season, Amy Kovner and Naomi Gabay-Schwab.\u00a0 Both brides missed a significant number of games, and Voto looks forward to their return: “Now that Amy and Naomi are done gold-digging, we can finally get back to some hockey.\u00a0 I mean, seriously, what is this ‘I can’t play because I don’t want to walk down the aisle with bruises’ crap?\u00a0 Pretty lame.”<\/p>\n Rounding out the squad is the prolific goal scorer, Eric DiPierri.\u00a0 Known as much for his misbehavior as he is for his offense, DiPierri has racked up a notorious reputation with 512 penalty minutes and two DC hearings in four years of BTSH play.\u00a0 Still, his jersey is among the most popular among youths ages 14-19.\u00a0 “What can I say?” pondered DiPierri.\u00a0 “I live with my heart on my sleeve…and also still with my parents…and the kids out there are feelin’ that.”<\/p>\n What will happen in 2008 for the Anklebiters?\u00a0 Only time will tell.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Rapper They Closely Resemble<\/strong>: Xzibit<\/em>.\u00a0 Folks have considered them a sleeping giant for years, but it doesn\u2019t seem like they can execute consistently enough to hit the big time.\u00a0\u00a0 Plus, interests outside of their specialty may be holding them back.
