Picture Day is May 11th!
(Season Finally)

Romeoville, IL May 5, 2007
Attendance 27

Thor gets a Hangover without a Beer!
Harvey gave the Reds an early lead when he kept banging at a loose puck until it went past the Brain.  Brinks got that back on a nice feed from his son Don.  Thor took a frightful fall on his back and slammed the back of his head on the ice.  He came out on his next shift and fired the Meaningful game winner past the Anvil.  The Whites also won the Meaningless contest 7-5.  There was only 1 goal in the first period, because of some great goal tending.

Hacksaw offers to light Ed's Beard!

 The Brain had one of his finest games of the season, stopping speedster Nick on 5 out of 6 break a ways.  It was one of the best games of the season, with the outcome in doubt until the final minutes.  Brinks was the MVP again with a goal and 30 some beers in the parking lot.
Comb your teeth and Floss your Hair!
Ami and Special Ed took Personal Business Days last Wednesday and joined the Duffers for a big burger at Nicks.  Ami volunteered to take our 2006-07 Team Photo.  The picture will be taken before the game, so be on time if you want to be in the included.  Individual shots will be taken during warm ups.  Proceeds will go to their "Walk to Cure Autism" charity.
Tom O' Connor Report: (Recovering from a March 30th Art slap Shot)
HI Duffers, Thanks for asking about me. My knee swelled up and I am still walking with a limp. Tomorrow I am going to the doctor, hopeful it just needs to be drained. I'll know more tomorrow after an MRI. Happy hockey! Tom O'Connor
Picnic Meeting will be on Friday May 25 at Hacksaw's house. 
Klinger Crash Nominations are now being taken by E-mail.  Thor would have won it hands down with that head banger last week, but he won it last year for 3 self inflicted spectacular crashes in March, where he threw his stick into the air, then he caused play to stop for laughter breaks.  2005 Winner, Mike "Mini-Wheezer"2004 Winner; Bill "The Alien" Allen 2003 Winner; Frank "Knarf" Presecky 2002 Winner; Ken "Stump" Barczynski.  Klinger is also ineligible since he has several Klinger Krashes every week and he took 3 years to return the Kings Meaningless Trophy.

Wags Championship game is Thursday May 10 at 10:10 in Romeoville.


Slow day at Wild Wings, Nobody got arrested.
*  Hi Beak,
 
Amy and I are doing the "Walk to Cure Autism" in May. I was wondering if you could include a link to my donation page in the next newsletter or send it out to the Duffers (I don't have all the email addresses) so those that would like to, can donate and sponsor me. They can donate directly on the site so no money has to be exchanged in person. 
 
Here's the link:
 
 
Thanks for your help.
