Another Hat for Brinks!

Romeoville, IL 01/29/2010   Average Turn Out and 2 blow outs!
Attendance 23                 

The Duffer Goalie Czar, Stump, had to strap on the goalie pads when the Anvil was out ice fishing and Tweedy was playing in an outdoor tournament with Tommy Z.  Papa Joe was feeling his oats after his 2 goal game, so he spent the next 2 weeks building up points.  (Joe needs several thousand "Honey Do" points to get out on a Friday night)  He wasted no time spoiling Stumps night when he got a kick pass from an opponent, who will remain nameless, but his initials are Bill "Klinger" Giffune.  The kick went right to the goal line where Papa Joe had placed his stick.  He didn't even have to

Here are the first 2 volunteers.

shoot.  The Whites went wild after their 79.98 year old team mate scored.  Thor scored a pair and Brinks added a hat trick!  Grandpa Ken, John "Cone" Koss and Rich Storm added solo goals to put the game out of reach.  The Reds moved Bill "Maestro" Conti up to center in the 2nd period to add some offensive punch and it worked as he put 3 goals past the Brain, but it was too little too late. Tom "Big Buff" O'Connor scored the only

meaningful goal for the Reds and Mini Wheezer was able to aggravate the Brain with a late meaningless nuisance goal.  The Reds were able to win the Wild Wings contest 8-5.

Meaningful: Whites 9, Reds 5

Meaningless: Whites 6, Reds 1
The Rink has Cancelled our February 19th ice!
The Rampage has asked for our help with a charity game in April for their team mate, Lisa Kross who started Chemo treatments for her Hodgkin's.  They prefer that we dress mostly "vintage" Duffers for the game.  I would like to have a

few more young guys that can keep us in the game.  They will have their ringers there.  I am a few guys short of 2 lines and a goalie who have agreed to play.  All but 2 of them are from the over 60 group. That includes Papa and Harvey. 
The Rampage are playing in an outdoor tournament in Eagle River this week end.  You can find out more about them 

on there web page at:

The charity skate is for Lisa "CB"

Congratulations to Mini Wheezer and Slime Dog who had the right numbers for the first and third quarters of the Super Bowl.  That last second field goal that ended the half cost Mini another $100.

Papa Joe is planning to make Duffer history again by being the first 80 year old Duffer to play in a game on February 12.  Brush your hair and comb your teeth as I have invited the media out to record the historic event.

We are looking for donations to the Nashville scholarship fund.  See Tom Ambrosia for details.
