3 Hat Tricks for the Finale!

Romeoville, IL
May 4, 2012

Attendance: 17

Royal Crown Vs. Crown Royal!

Whites 8: Reds 3

Bill BTW brought in a bottle of Crown Royal to celebrate the end of another great season, whenever that happens, we know we are in for a fun night, especially if the Anvil breaks it open before the game.  The difference in the game may have been that the White goalie was sipping Royal Crown while Eddie had a few hits of Crown Royal.  Eddie started

Thanks to Dillon for keeping us under control all year.

laughing during warm ups and never stopped until he left Wild Wings.  Joe "Drago" Evans had a Hat trick and all 3 of his goals assisted by the tired enemy.  (The Reds had only 2 defensemen who skated the whole 90 minutes) The Bookie and The Maestro had more falls than Terry and they slept well that night. Terry "Crash" Nance had help on two of his goals, but he did redirect a shot from the point for a beautiful Hat Trick goal. Cowboy Joe had 2 meaningful goals that I don't remember how or why. The Reds took the leash off of Nick when they were down 5, so he picked up all three goals for the Reds as a sober Tweedy made some great saves to throttle the Reds. Nick's first goal came on his own rebound after Tweedy stopped him on a break away. He scored his second goal on a rebound of a Klinger shot. Nick got his Hat Trick on a Beak rebound. Tweedy even robbed his Dad when  Beak redirected a great ice hugging pass from the Maestro into the 5 hole. The Reds never got a taste of the Crown Royal, because T&A is the only guy thoughtful enough to bring the "Legends" a shot or two.  Whites had 2 Meaningful goals and 6 Meaningless goals.  Reds had 3 Meaningless Goals.           Memorable Moments

  • Frank made a cameo appearance and made his wife Jan happy.
  • T&A and Tommy showed up at the bar. His son Tommy is recovering from a concussion.
  • Hacksaw is back in town, so we will go to the Tilted Kilt for our Wednesday lunch.

A Picnic Committee meeting date is being selected as you read.




Frank was back for a few beers.
