Duffer Hockey News for January 7, 2011

Welcome to

Happy New Year!

Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Mini Wheezer for all of their work on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

Bus Trip To Pittsburgh is set for March 17-20, 2011!

An estimate of $500 for Bus Riders and $400 for Flyins looks close. As the Duffer accountant says, "Close is Good!" That is the best guess, it could be a little higher if someone drops out and we can't replace him. It could be lower if we pick up a few spectators or goalies. If that doesn't happen, we could crush our beer cans and cash them in. Maybe Lu and Darrin could drive them back to Canada and get a dime a can at the beer store!

We need your Trip balance check made out to Duffers Hockey by February 1st. If you are late, it may be higher, or even worse, we'll sell your place on the power play. If the February 1st payment date causes you a hardship, see Beak for a payment plan. We need to come up with $6,000.00 for tickets and the bus soon.

Pick your Roommate now. The following have been assigned:

Harvey Owes $300 and Formica*Owes $275

Beak Owes $400 and Boris Owes $500

Berserk Owes $400 and Ted Owes $400

Tom Z Owes $300 and Russ Owes $500

Darin* Owes $400 and Lu*Owes $400

T&A Owes $400 and Bro Joe Owes $500

Grandpa Ken Owes $400 and Wheezer Owes $400

	Great Game, Great Party!

Romeoville, IL 1/1/11
Attendance 33
Tweedy Got his Money's Worth!

Tweedy paid $20 to play goalie and he had to stop about 80 shots, that is 25 cents per shot! The "Stick line" of Mazzarella, Mazzarella and Mazzarella were reunited once again, but only in warm ups, because a teammate and fellow Italian with the same name, shot Steve in the knee before the game. Steve did manage to get up and skate a few shifts. Teweedy's Cousin Jay brought his son Nick along and he was able to fill in nicely. Klinger said he was a welcome defensive partner. Papa Joe and his son Steve made a $100 deposit and were added to Team


	2 MVPs of the Day!

Pittsburgh, as were Rags and his Tennessee brother John. We now have 3 full lines for Team Pittsburgh. We still have room for Spectators and a goalie. Beak will put you on a waiting list in case Boris or Perry drop out. Mini Wheezer put on his unlucky White jersey and poked 2 goals past Tweedy. Thor also scored a pair for the Whites and Steve and Brinks Granato scored one each to give the Whites 6 goals (3 Meaningful) The BMT line scored 3 goals, 2 by Mike Presecky and 1 by Tommy Z. V-Man and Joe "Face Plant" Evans scored the other 2 goals for the Reds. The Whites were coasting comfortably with a 6-3 lead late in the game, but got a scare when Joe and Mike added goals in the final 2 minutes. Final Score Whites 6, Reds 5
Great Party
We went on to have a great party, thanks to everyone who contributed to the goodies. It was evident that many people couldn't remember what they brought last year, so they brought something different as instructed.
Pittsburgh comes in at the $500 Projection!
We have 25 people who have committed to ride the bus with a $100 deposit. Boris says he will go, but has left town without paying, so he is suspect. The estimated trip cost will be $500 for Bus riders and $400 for our Fly ins.
I signed a Bus contract with Lamers and will need your Trip Balance on February 1.
Here is what you will get for your $500.
