CONGRATS TO THE 60-A PAUL ELSEY GUIDED CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM WHO PLAYED IN

AL REID TOURNAMENT IN NIAGARA FALLS THIS PAST WEEKEND!

THE TEAM ONLY ALLOWED THREE GOALS IN FOUR GAMES!   

 

IF YOU PLAY THIS GAME LONG ENOUGH YOU WILL CONTINUE TO SEE

THINGS YOU NEVER SAW BEFORE!

LAST SUNDAY NIGHT, IN MY LEAGUE AT HAZEL PARK IN THE OLYMPIC ARENA THE FOLLOWING OCCURRED.

PUCK GETS BEHIND OUR GOALIE, BOTH REFEREE’S  SIGNAL NO GOAL – PUCK DID NOT CROSS THE LINE.

SO, WE LINE UP TO THE LEFT OF OUR GOALIE.

ALL OF SUDDEN, THE SCOREKEEPER IS YELLING FOR ONE OF THE REFEREE’S, AND TOLD HIM THE PUCK DID CROSS THE LINE!

REFEREE IMMEDIATELY SIGNALS TO CENTER ICE AND CALLS IT A GOOD GOAL!

ARE KIDDING ME?  THE SCOREKEEPER MAKES THE CALL?

THE INFAMOUS SCOREKEEPER IS PICTURED ABOVE. 

 

 HAWKS    5    WINGS   2

The Hawks and goalie Billy Papciak play a great game and convincingly upend the high powered Wings!  Paul Elsey Jr. with a two goal game.  Singles for Steve Wink, Anthony Amato and Rob Rowling(PP).  Jim Roble and Steve Bayagich tally for the Wings.  

HABS   3     BRUINS   1

The Habs score three times in a span of four minutes and receive excellent goaltending from Kris “King” Arthur for the W!  Jeff Steiber, Greg Stacey and Billy Reiss score for the Habs.  Sub Dave Bergman with the Bruins lone goal.  Habs Captain Joey Reiss showed up late to the game due to his truck being totaled en route to the arena.  Not good!  Glad you’re OK Joe!       

SHARKS   6     FLYERS   2

What a snow day will do for Mike Nalepa, the President of Everest College in Clarkston!  Mr. Nalepa goes twine four times!  Nice game Mike!  Dave West and Craig Bastuba also with goals.  Waz Sarweh with the hat trick assist.  Goalie Joe Polizzi was stellar in nets!  Jamie Smith and Scott Kostesich score for the Flyers.    

SHARKS   4      BRUINS   3

The Sharks sweep on the day with a hard fought win!  Captain Nate McNaughtry with a goal and three helpers!  Mike Nalepa, Dave Rupprecht and Waz Sarweh also with goals.  Mark Micolo scores twice for the Bruins.  Sub Dave Bergman with their initial goal.  Nick Piccolo with three assists.  The hibernating Bruins have now lost their past five games.  This was a penalty free game.    

HAWKS    5    HABS   2

The soaring Hawks sweep on the day behind another two goal game from Paul Elsey Jr.  Anthony Amato, Jeff Funk and Robbie Olmstead also score.  Goalie Billy Papciak with another strong game in nets!  Billy Reiss with a goal for the Habs on an assist from brother Joey.  Greg Stacy scores once again.  Greg is the feel good story of the day, as he has returned from an eight week absence due to surgery of a very serious nature.  Welcome back Greg!! 

WINGS   10     FLYERS   3

The battle for first place had the fans streaming out of arena three after the first period!  Mr. Zach Wagner with a 4 & 3 game!  Nice game Zach!  Deuces wild for Jim Roble and John Cornish.  Singles for Terry Boyette and Eddie Sudzina.  Perhaps feeling like he had something to prove after an opposing player last week complained that the Flyers were over-subbed for actor Brian Dennehy lookalike(See Picture Below) Jamie Smith. Jamie with all three Flyers goals!
