It is always nice to win, but it was particularly nice in this particular situation on this particular day because I believe that is our first win in something like 10 games. Good to get that off of our chest no? It was hot as hell and we once again had a few new faces, but it looking to be a fun summer session if we can keep up the decent play.
HC Dupa got off to an early lead thanks to Marc with a "C." He had another goal later in the game as well. Marc also informed us that although he will be attending our game this coming weekend that will be his last because he is leaving for basic training shortly thereafter. Please thank Marc and wish him good luck when you see him.
We had a bunch of nice chances and were passing the ball better than I have seen in awhile. The new guys are going to fit in brilliantly. We took a 3 goal lead but then let them creep back to within 1 late in the game. Shoup held strong and the dudes on the Dek held off their final surge to protect and maintain the lead for the win.
These guys really didn't have a whole lot of personality, the dek was +90 degrees, and I hadn't eaten for two full days at game time so I don't remember much else that happened.
Thanks to Donte for helping us out.
If you didn't pay me last week it's $40 for the session. Also if you didn't pay Kev for a shirt it is $12. I ordered 4 additional shirts if anyone is without one.
The next game is Sunday June 12 at 11am. Chad, Nord, and I will be returning from canoe trip weekend so we're most likely out but we'll do our best to make it. Good luck dudes, good show on the win this week.

GAME RECAP: 6/4/2011 VS Roid Rage @ Butler Dek
Recap from Shoup:
Figured I’d do a recap for Saturday night’s game…someone else can do Sunday’s.
Roid Rage ended up being Josh Bartley’s team…aka One Mohawk, Zero Girlfriend, aka No Mohawk, Three spare tires. Why we are forced to play against this douchebag at least once every session is beyond me. There are like 30 teams in C league, and we play 10 of them…but we play him every session.
Anyways, things started out pretty slow. We had a lot of offensive zone time in the first 2 periods. It was 1-1 after 2 periods of play.
Things could have been worse had Roid Rage not been called for off-sides like 30 times. Their one old dude couldn’t grasp the concept of getting on-side and was whistled repeatedly for this infraction…a few times nullifying odd-man breaks in their favor. There were a few players on their team that were having trouble with the general strategy and rules of hockey…and these are supposedly all people who work at Dick’s.
In the 3rd period, they started getting some more offensive chances, led by the afore-mentioned punk Bartley. He was a douche on a mission. They got 3 goals past me in the first 5 minutes of the 3rd period before we scored a couple to break their momentum. It was 4 to 3 with about 3 minutes left. They scored again on a shot from the right slot by none other than No Mohawk-3 spare tires to take a 5 to 3 lead.
We then scored again with about a minute and a half left to get within one goal, but couldn’t tie it up late to force OT.
Final Score: Roid Rage 5, HC Dupa 4.
I can’t recall all the goal scorers, so if you had any of the goals, let Tim know for the stats page. I know the league is supposedly keeping track of these now also, along with penalty minutes…but who knows if they always get it right or not, plus we may have had some people wearing other people’s numbers for one or both of the games this weekend.
Final Score for Sunday was HC Dupa 5, Predators 4…someone else can recap that one if you like. If not I can try to do it.
Next game is Sunday, June 12th at 11 AM vs Sharks. See you guys there. If you haven’t paid Tim yet, bring $40 with you for full-time players, $20 for ½ season guys. Also, shirts are $12. Bring that also if you haven’t already paid and got your shirt.
Thanks Shoup.

Next Session Fees and Tees
Good Morning Fellas. Want to send everyone a quick reminder about next session.
Our first game is on June 4th @ 10:00PM. League fees will be in the vicinity of $45.00/person.
We're also trying something new this session since the summer session tends to lead to many absences. We will be bringing on "part-time" players. Players who will not be able to make more than 5 games for the session. These players will only pay half. If you know of anyone who may fit this role let me know - and no, we're not prorating per game. If you can make 6 games, then you pay full price.
If any of you current session players who aren't playing next session are interested in only playing half of the games let me know.
With the new changes at the Dek requiring everyone to have a number we will be purchasing shirts from the Dek. They will be $12.00/shirt and will include a number and our logo on the front. Bring me money for this to the first game. If you will not be there for the first game give it to me sooner. First come, first served regarding numbers.
Remember to always have a back-up shirt as well. I'm thinking our red shirts from the past two session should work just fine (thanks Shoup), if you don't have a BMSPHC shirt simply bring another red shirt.
Any questions let me know. See you dudes in a few weeks. Continue to scout for additional players. I'm out.

End of Spring 2011/Start of Summer 2011 Sessions
Good afternoon dudes. For those of you who could not make it to the make-up game yesterday - we lost. What was a promising start to the season ended with an eighth straight loss. The schedule really effed us up over the course of the last few months and I'll blame our pitiful record on that. Here's to a better Summer session!
As you all know by now the Dek is under new management and they are making some changes to what we were used to. Online registration on a vastly improved website is awesome and that was the first right step toward what we're hoping will be many more. That being said I've heard some of you complain about the management and I understand your frustration, but we really don't have another option as to where we can play so we're going to have to grin and bear it, not worry about it, and just play.
That also being said I need to share some information with you dudes that I should have received at the meeting on Wednesday night (I skipped because, well, I'm a rebel like that), but that I received in email format instead. There are a few simple changes and a few more drastic changes. See both pages below and my edited highlights.
So apparently we can now receive a penalty for swearing. Whatever. I say we talk as much shit as we want until we actually receive a warning from the refs. The refs swear just as much as the players for heavens sake.

This is a bit more interesting. Apparently we are now REQUIRED to have shirts with numbers on them. So we'll do what you dudes want. As you can see from the form we can simply write numbers on our shirts but I would prefer to get shirts made - you can never have enough old hockey shirts.
They provide a discount if we order shirts through them. If we order light colored shirts it's $12/person with a logo and a number. If we order dark shirts it's $14. If we want to add names as well it's a additional $2.00/shirt. Let me know how you guys feel or if you know someone that can get them to us cheaper. Also throw out some ideas for shirt colors. I probably won't do a vote because I don't think many of our current roster uses the Internet, but you guys tell me. Our first game is June 4th so that gives us plenty of time to get shirts made.
Anything else that you dudes want/need/request/suggest let me know. Take it easy, have a good weekend.
