Offensive
power brings OD to life and a tie with Grandbend. Saturday’s home game featured a full squad
and allowed for continued hard play, throughout the game with no shortage of
fuel. Management rearranged the lines,
experimenting with the new players, and the result came through; allowing all
the lines to produce.
This new force
will come just in time to meet the demands of a final surge before Christmas
break.

Like the song
“Tillsonburg” says.. “My
back still hurts when I hear that word, Tillsonburg!” No, we weren’t picking tobacoo,
but the effects of playing a hard fought game is almost equal the pain.
The OD, short
on the bench with only 9 players, held off the offensive power of Tillsonburg for two periods. Going into the third, the OD were trailing
by a goal 3-2. The wind in their sails
began to falter and we ended up losing the game 7-2.
Honourable
mention goes to Jim “The Stopper” who faced 2 and 3 rebounds at a time. After the game the guys said “if you were
going to stop the first one Jim, you might as well stop the rest” as we were
not coming to your rescue.
All in all a
good time…
By the way, we
had Papa Smurf come out for the game…he could actually still skate!

The team
continues to push forward in the face of adversity. Between the challenges of membership and
players being called to far away places; we (the team) manage to field a full
line-up and play at the excellent levels our fans are accustom
too.
Friday’s game
was supported by recruits, although we won by default. And Saturday’s game was “a do one of the gipper” effort. In
this case the gipper may have been our long lost
friend and player Randy. Yes that big
old ugly guy return to display his talent and please the crowd one more time.
So as for the
recent lack of attendance: let’s hope
the weather goes cold and no more golf!!!!!
Okay.. enough of that. Who is running the tournament search this
year and where are we going? See ya Friday!

recovered!!

Well the only
thing we had thanks for at our game on Saturday was the beer was cold. We lost 4-0 which is a good reflection of
the game and out lack of offensive power.
Give aways in our zone was a problem but
insufficient shots at the other end was the most troubling..
Oh well, turkey to eat is better than turkey we are.. So, enjoy the weekend and your families. Give thanks and remember one important note.. you are all a bunch of “Great Guys”!

Good game,
regardless of the outcome. It was a
high scoring event with both teams playing like the Old Edmonton Oiler’s. Thought was to score more than we let in,
just doesn’t work out that way for some.
Thanks Giving
this weekend coming..
we have a game on Saturday. Also remember to give thanks for all that we
have!

Hey, I hear
the game was one sided? This cub
reporter couldn’t attend as he was scouting out talent in other lands. But news travels quickly when it comes to
the OD club. It is the equivalent to
that of the “Leafs” winning a game.
So did Jack
get his memory back and make the game?

OH MY
GOD!!! I’m sore! That was a long skate with 7 a side. But the teams were evenly matched with a
final of 10-7. Jim really had the white
team’s number making lots of stops.
Stan was equally talented and did face a few odd man rushes.
Overall it was
a great start to a new season. Next
weekend, the 26th, is a game against the farm team. Young players wanting to impress the big
league for a chance to play in the “show”.. okay, so I stretch
the truth.
Also look in
the team pic’s for the latest picture of a beautiful
sight! Our beer for
the next couple of games.
Sept 14th
Our first
practice is this Sat 19th Sept. at Thompson for 9:00pm.
The opening
night out at Alibi was a good event with a number of the old squad in
attendance. If we drank that much beer
the opening night, the rest of the year should be really good. I must admit that not much
changes, Jack is still ugly!
Remember this
year’s fees are $450, plus $50 for the sweaters for any new guys.
Look forward
to see you all.. no really I
do!
Be good and be
careful.

Oh my
goodness, I am sore. Played hockey last
night and I think I left a lung on the ice… ya, ya, no different than normal. Well I hope you animals are ready for this
up and coming season.
Still haven’t
heard from all the players yet.. if
you haven’t contacted Rob or me, please let me know.
And how is old
Martha doing? Has anyone heard from the
old girl?
Team meeting
Sept 3rd at Alibi.. 7:00. see you there
Aug 24th
Okay you bunch
of good for nothing, lazy, slackers… Oh I was looking in the mirror!
The schedule
is ready for validation. Jim (the
goalie) Stephenson is doing his best to look out for my lapses in memory and
general confused state. If you think
you see an error with the schedule, let me know. And remember if you don’t like it.. do the f##k’n
thing yourself!
Yes, that
means you too Jack!
Aug 13th
The management
are waiting to finalize this year’s line-up.
Apparently some of the veterans have not contacted their Agent’s to complete
contract negotiations. So please let us know
if you are lacing up the skates this year!!
Aug 10th
Good day to
all and to all I wish a great summer…
Okay you
slackers! Time to get
in shape and start thinking about hockey for the upcoming season. The schedule is almost done, so it is still DRAFT.. that is like the one between
your ears Tom Rooke!
We are going to have a
team meeting shortly and you’ll be notified as soon as I can set one up.
Remember we
need to know now if you are not playing next year. Most of you can’t play any how, but I
actually mean pay the fees!
So talk to you
soon and keep doing those arm curls!
