Its clearly been a frustrating past few weeks for both the fans and the players. Results haven’t been going our way and we’ve played far from how we know we can. Saturday was a massive win for us, and also saw ‘The Mayor’ (Tony Redmond) back on the ice which is great for the team. With Scotty almost fit and Mr Basingstoke Jnr. (Kurt Reynolds) nearly there as well, our season is almost back on track.
Off the ice, I seem to have taken a fair bit of abuse off Hemmer recently. My first mistake was giving him the chance to write the last two editions, which meant he was free to talk about my worst training session ever, my chipped tooth, the incident with the mouth guard and generally anything else stupid I’ve done recently, which in fairness, was quite a lot.
Hemmers not as clever as he thinks he is though. If anyone sees him between now and the next time we play at home on a Sunday, don’t be afraid to remind him or Wiggy that faceoff for Sunday home games is actually 5.30 not 6.30! Poor Andrew turned up in his suit just as we were heading out for Verkitus’ (a.k.a. Mindy -the name came from the Lithuanian player in the film Semi-Pro) off-ice warm up. We all told him that Mo was so mad he couldn’t even think of a punishment for him. The look on his face when it all dawned on him was priceless.
Another thing on everybody’s mind this week is the Bowling night on Wednesday. Rumour has it that Hemmer has been drafted into the Wives team for the evening. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s because he’s constantly whining like girl whenever anyone gives him banter! Either way, I’m sure he’ll be fine, as long as they let him bowl with the barriers up.
Mo’s already thrown it out there that ‘Ishmil’ Bronnimann is a top favourite, but I think it’s anyone’s game. A few of the boys have been talking the talk so it’ll be interesting to see what happens, and we hope to see loads of the fans down there joining in on Wednesday as well.
If you can’t make it Wednesday then we’ll see you at the weekend, where we’re looking forward to winning a big four points and getting ourselves right back in the hunt.
And if you hear anything about my hilarious fall on the blue line in Peterborough, don’t listen, its all lies!
