We Gave Thanks!

Romeoville, IL November 24, 2016  Attendance: 22

I feel so blessed to be playing with a great group of guys. So I give thanks every year for being semi healthy and able to play hockey with my sons and grandsons.  Thanks to Terry who cooked up some great brats. Terry was one of the 10 dads that were here playing with their sons.  Thanks to Art for bring a case of Strohs with his son AJ the Pharmacist.  Thanks to Monet Mike for bringing beer and playing with his Grandpa Beak and his Dad Grandpa Ken. 

We had a great turnout for our annual Thanksgiving game. We had Dads, sons and grandsons.

Greg Z, Tweedy, Steve Hammer, Commander Ken and Barron all had their sons there for this wonderful holiday event.

We got excellent goal tending from Barron and Matt Hammer.  I give Thanks to our goalies. 

Tweedy scored 3 goals for the Reds in his first game of the year.  Greg Z and AJ scored the other 2 goals for the Reds with shots from the blue line that sailed through a crowd.  Joe "Drago" Evans scored 2 goals for the Whites while Rob Z, Jack and  Ken Kroll had solo goals to give the Whites a 5-5 tie. (Art or Dylan may have had a goal but my memory takes a walk every now and then) Fruitcake certified that the score was 5-5  After the game, we gathered in the party room above the rink and downed some great brats with sauerkraut and beer.  That gave us plenty of gas for the way home. 

Madison Trip?

The Czar asked me to contact the Granatos about a trip to Wisconsin January 20th and 21st, 2017 (Badgers play U of Minnesota) You have the option of going up Friday and watching the Badgers play 2

games, or you could come up for the Saturday game.  I sent out an e-mail to see how many guys were interested in doing a car trip.
I got only one reply and it was from Beer Nuts.  He said that he would go if I could find him a roommate. 

We had lots of puck picker uppers!
