Thursday finishes with a tie!

Thanks everyone for another good year of Hockey!
Thank you Maurice for Blowing the whistle and a job well done!
Mark, Matt, and Michael great job! Everyone appreciates your superb attendance!
A good group of Goalies is key and you're the best! Thanks!
Special thanks to Tony and Willy for their efforts to bring water / pucks most every night!

I spoke about the future of Over 30 Hockey on our last Thursday night and will share my thoughts with the Monday night group as well.
Most of us all know about the LG Forum tax problems and the Civic Center change with management.
At this point in time everything is up in the air and I'm not sure how things are going to play out for next year!
I will do my best to keep Over 30 Hockey alive and hopefully keep the same schedule that we have had over the years. I will be honest with you all, if they push Over 30 Hockey to a later time in the night I will resign and someone else will have to run the league.
I will share my talks with the new management with you all and post all of the news on the Blog.
So keep checking the blog through the Summer and hopefully we will play Hockey next year!
I have noticed that some of you have wrist or hand injuries.
Do the Blog pictures have anything to do with this? Ha-ha!

Matter of Perspective
Two boys are playing hockey on a pond in the park in Toronto, when one is attacked by a rabid Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy takes his stick, wedges it down the dog's collar and twists, breaking the dog's neck. A reporter who was strolling by sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy. "Young Leafs Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook. "But I'm not a Leafs fan," the little hero replied. "Sorry, since we are in Toronto, I just assumed you were," said the reporter and starts again. "Little Jays Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack" he continued writing in his notebook. "I'm not a Jays fan either," the boy said. "I assumed everyone in Toronto was either a Leafs or Jays fan. "What team, do you root for?" the reporter asked. "I'm a Boston Bruins fan." the child said. The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes, "Little Bastard from Boston Kills Beloved Family Pet."

WOW, 45minutes before first goal scored!

Mark and Matt were HUGE in goal last night! After 30 minutes and no score yet for either team, they had this Goalie Thing happening!
Who was going to be the first to give it up?
Andy gets a breakaway chance to score on Matt and after 45 minutes of play the Dark Side scores! Sorry Matt! Mark Wins!
Hell of show boys!
So the rest of the game was like drinking beer! Once you break the seal it's over!
The Dark Side wins 6-3! Good Game everyone!

Today the Redsox win and the start of the baseball season has begun!
Redsox are in first place!HA, ha!
I thought I would share with you all why the Baseball Players don't mind traveling to Japan to start the season! See anything to complain about?
I just hope the sushi isn't BAD! Right Yankee's!

BREAST MILK
A Japanese exchange student sat in a science classroom, totally stumped at a question on the final exam.

The question asked: "Give four advantages of breast milk."

What to write? He sighed, thinking he could not use personal experience. Suddenly, he smiled, remembering some things he has overheard his mother say. He wrote:

1. No need to boil.
2. Never goes sour.
3. Available whenever necessary.

He still needed a fourth answer. He tried to put himself in the place of a child, but that didn't work. Suddenly, he smiled again. He wrote as the final answer:

4. Available in attractive containers of varying sizes.

Father & Son's pick teams!

Bryan and John with there sons pick teams Thursday and the Battle was on!
Darren scored the first goal for the White Team getting the team off to a good start.
The Dark Side kicked it up a notch and before you know it the score was 5-2!
The White Team made some adjustments and turned the Big MO around!
The score evened-up at five and then it was a game of ping pong!
The Civic Center staff had their timing all wrong! 15 minutes into the game they want to open the doors and had to be told whats-up! Go Away!
When it was time to open the doors he was late!
During the extra ice time the White Team is trying desperately to hold off the strong effort of the Dark Side to pull out the win. The White Team scores and the Door finally swings open, 12-10 the White Team Wins!

As much as I like Hockey, Bring on the Baseball Season!

Comedian Rich Hall said he figured out why Pete Rose isn't in the Hall of Fame.

"Pete was probably sitting in some bar and told this guy he wouldn't make the Hall of Fame."

"That's crazy,'' the guy replies, "Of course, you can get in. Look at all the records you set"

"Bet you a million bucks I don't get elected."

St Patrick Day Hockey

The White Team made the Dark side Green, with envy!
I think Mark Pepin offered up free cable to anyone who would let him skate and score freely!
Larry played defense and did a good job back there! Larry everyone took notice! Welcome to the defensive club! Despite Larry's excellent play the White Team wins.

So I may have forgotten what week I was in and made a mistake in the number of skates left for the year. Here is what's left of the schedule!
3/17 ------ 3/20
3/24 ------ 3/27
3/31

March Madness is here and Good Luck to you all who get into the pools!
The cheerleaders are the best! Go Team! Tell me which one is your favorite?

The desire to win is intense!
The captain of a team says to the ref, "My coach wants to know if there is a penalty for thinking." The ref says, "No." The captain says, "Well my coach thinks you're an asshole, then."

OK, I'm tired!

It was the traditional end of the season Goalies pick the teams night!

It was Funny! After the teams were picked there was 12 on one team and 6 on the other! After listening to the talk about the game at the forum maybe Mark thought smaller is better! We even the teams up and played some hockey. The game was close and the White Team I believed paid off Maurice! The White Team wins 6-3!

The Thursday night group has one more skate to play! It's almost over!
Monday group has 2 skates left.

Still working on next Saturday for a re-match with the LG team at the Civic Center!

Now for a little Irish Fun!
Two Irishmen, Patrick Murphy and Shawn O'Brian grew up together and were lifelong friends. But alas, Patrick developed cancer, and was dying. While on his deathbed, Patrick called to his buddy, Shawn, "O'Brian, come 'ere. I 'ave a request for ye." Shawn walked to his friend's bedside and kneels.

"Shawny ole boy, we've been friends all our lives, and now I'm leaving 'ere. I 'ave one last request fir ye to do."

O'Brian burst into tears, "Anything Patrick, anything ye wish. It's done."

"Well, under me bed is a box containing a bottle of the finest whiskey in all of Ireland. Bottled the year I was born it was. After I die, and they plant me in the ground, I want you to pour that fine whiskey over me grave so it might soak into me bones and I'll be able to enjoy it for all eternity."

O'Brian was overcome by the beauty and in the true Irish spirit of his friend's request, he asked, "Aye, tis a fine thing you ask of me, and I will pour the whiskey. But, might I strain it through me kidneys first?"

LG vs. Over 30 wasn’t as pretty as Ashley Dupre “Kristen”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well the long awaited game with LG has come and gone!
It sure did put our style of Hockey into prospective!
Ah, when the competitive juices flow within us and we starting thinking we can play hockey at a higher level, SLAM, reality hits you right between the eyes!
I’m still seeing stars! Come on you know I’m right! 10-1 Ouch!
The only player to score for Over 30 was a Girl!
Nothing personal Melanie but the facts are what they are!

So after saying all this, let’s do it again! Ha-ha!
I’ll be talking to the Civic Center so check the Blog!

Well the “Love Gov” has stepped down! Boohoo, I was having so much fun!
Eliot has quickly transitioned into his new job in downtown Manhattan.
I have a photo of him in his new business attire and the girl of his Wet Dreams!
Someone asked me; how did this happen to such a powerful man!
It was Beauty that killed the Beast!
King Kong dies on the Empire State Building!
Spitzer dies from Emperor Escort Service! Hummmmm!

Now that's more like it!

A good hockey game everyone and the night ends with a 4-4 tie!
Now rest up everyone and get ready for Game 1 against Neil's team!
Wednesday night 8:30pm at the forum!

Now the buzz of the night was all about the Love Gov Spitzer! Everyone wants to know; is she a Spitzer?
Hey if I were a women in NY state I would kill someone to get a job under Mr Spitzer!
He pays well, $5000.00 an hour! Did that come with health benefits also?
$5000 an hour put into hockey terms is A LOT OF PUCKING!
Wow that had better be the best Puck ever!
Got to love Letterman! He is ripping him apart!
Bill Clinton stated; What he paid for it! He was in Washington DC and he paid for it! All he had to do was call me! I think I still have some old cigars hidden somewhere!
You know what Bill Engvall would say;Mr Love Gov, "Here's your sign!" HA-ha!

Sunday Hockey or was it Football?

Double didget score! WOW!
The largest crowd in attendance must of been the reason for this! HA-ha Some of us just have to Show-off!
I believe after talking to Michael he thinks he had 16 pucks slide by so we'll go with 16 - 15 the White Team wins with the last goal scored! Some of you Die-hards would like to still be playing!
I was surprised not to see the door open! Maybe a gift from the Civic Center for the schedule mishap on the previous Sunday! Thanks, I think!
This week should saturate your Hockey desires! Sunday, Monday, Wednesday (LG 8:30pm), and Thursday!
March will have some of us being thankful spring is here! I see a lot of R&R in the fishing boat in my future!
Now this week drink specials to keep the body loose are pictured above!

Dark Side Edges one out!

Tom and John did well in picking Teams!
John shortly after picking his team, comments to us all wearing Dark Jerseys: Defense will win the game tonight!
OK I’m thinking, lets score hard and fast and with some good luck, maybe we can hold off Andrew and another younger Q (Mark).
Well, as luck would have it, the Dark Side built up a nice lead and at 10:29:59 the door flew open! A good skate it was and the score in the end was 9-8. Dark Side Wins!

I double checked with the Civic Center and we are playing this Sunday at 4pm!
Sunday 3/9/08 4:00 – 5:30pm Over30hockey (Thursday Group)


Her Body's a Temple
Patrick O'Malley hoisted his beer and said: "Here's to spending the rest of me life between the legs of me wife!" - and he took home the top prize for the best toast of the night.

In bed later that night, he told his wife: "Mary, I won the prize for the best toast of the night." She said, "Aye, Paddy, what was your toast?"

So he told her: "Here's to spending the rest of me life sitting in church beside me wife."

"Oh," she said, "that is very nice, dear."

The next day, Mary ran into one of Paddy's drinking partners in the street. Mischievously, the man said: "Did you hear about your husband winning a prize in the pub the other night for a toast about you, Mary?"

She replied: "Aye - and I was a bit surprised. Till now, he's only been down there twice. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come

The last Month for Hockey!

Over 30 Hockey is in its last month of hockey and before you know it the snowblower will be replaced with the lawnmower! Bring it!
Could we have another Fucking foot of snow! Please!
A Redneck told me once; You Yankees might think we're stupid down here! But none of us retire and move NORTH! Hmmmmmm!

The first game of March was a good one if you were wearing White. The game was close for the first half of the night. Then in the second half the White Team cashed in, and made it tough on Mark with some really nice passing and the shots got through.
The Dark side made a lot of solo runs at Matt and he did a great job of shutting them down. The White Team wins!

Don't forget that March is a month to celebrate the coming of spring like an Irishman! Time to drink plenty of Beer and piss away the snow banks!


Two Irish lads

Two Irish lads had been out shacking up with their girl friends. One felt guilty and decided he should stop at the church and confess. He went into the confession booth and told the Father, "Father, I have sinned. I have committed fornication with a lady. Please forgive me." The Father said, "Tell me who the lady was." The lad said he couldn't do that and the Father said he couldn't grant him forgiveness unless he did. "Was it Mollie O'Grady?" asked the Father." "No." "Was it Rosie Kelly?" "No." "Was it that red-headed wench Tessie O'Malley?" "No." "Well then," said the Father, "You'll not be forgiven." When the lad met his friend outside the friend asked, "So, did you find forgiveness." "No," said the other, "but I picked up three good prospects!"

NO HOCKEY TONIGHT! SORRY

I went to the Civic Center to check if the ice would be ready for the Game tonight.
I found out from the maintenance crew that we didn't get scheduled and Youth Hockey has the 4pm time slot.

Sorry everyone! Just Fire me will ya! I'll talk to the Civic Center Office tomorrow and see about re-scheduleing.

Follow the normal schedule.
Thanks Dave

Why did I come back? This week has been snowblower hell! Who has connections with Mother Nature and is punshing me for going to Florida?

I played golf with RedSox Trainer Paul Lessard. Anybody want some steroids? HA-ha. Got to meet Jim Rice and snapped a photo to cherish the moment!
