Congratulations to Duffer SOD Ryan Dzingel who just signed a contract with the Ottawa Senators to play professional Hockey for their Binghamton Senators in the AHL.

He had 2 assists in his first 3 games, then he had a goal and a fight in his 5th game.  He missed the Gordie Hat Trick, because nobody scored on his passes.  They lost 2-1

A Bloody Good Game!

Romeoville, IL April 11, 2014  Attendance: 18

Guest Reporters! (Beak And Klinger were g College Softball)

Greg Z's Report

There were goals by a lot of different guys.  I know Berserk got one and I got one, DeJesus got one on Eddie (Eddie was spectacular). Koss got one to tie it up 4-4. I want to say T&A got one, and I think DeJesus's friend got one (honestly I don't recall). DeJesus brought two friends. One took me down in a bad spill behind the net, and then crashed into Freddy a shift later giving Freddy a bloody lip.  I let him know that wasn't the duffer way. The game was rife with Klinger crashes.

Klinger and Beak witnessed some beautiful sights.

T&A's Report

The Reds started the scoring with a pass from Berserk to his friend Steve DeGuest. 1-0 Reds after one.  Steve paid his friend back in the 2nd period with a nice pass to Berserk for a tap in.  Jesus scored twice to tie the game 2-2 after two periods.  Geno passed to Mini early in the period to give the Reds a 3-2 lead. DeJesus' friend Saint Charlie scored to give the Reds a two goal lead, but with less than 4 minutes to play the Whites came back with two quick goals. Terry passed to Greg Z for a score and Koss scored on a rebound to tie the game 4-4 with a minute left.  Geno won the faceoff at center ice to Charlie who took the puck deep behind the White's net and made a nice pass to T&A in the slot for the score and a 5-4 Meaningful Win!

Charlie (Jesus friend) and Nick (DeJesus) went head to head all night.  Fun to watch for Eddie, since they were on the same Huskie teams for so many years.  Very even game per the Anvil.
Fred reminded me during warm ups, that Beak needed he and I to take good notes.

Memorable Moments: 

  • Mini consulted with Terry after the first period to disallow V-Man's 1st period goal, saying that Eddie had it frozen. Terry agreed and the score was adjusted to Reds 1 and Whites 0 after one.
  • We only had 3 subs on each bench, so we had some tired thirsty Duffers after the game.
  • The good news was that we had more beer per skater in the locker rooms.  No complaints from me.
  • Good luck to Michele's Team!   T&A

  • Congratulations to Emil, Brinks and their Team for winning in a game in the land of the underwater specialists!


We went to Little Cubs Park in Freeport Illinois.

Klinger and Beak were watching Softball at Little Cubs Park.

We had a bad storm, but the girls got to play all 6 games.
