Greetings hockey fans and welcome to streak ending edition of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 6.03.  All good things come to an end and such was the case of the mega fire streak that Silver has been riding since Thanksgiving.  Silver met with Double Snot Bubbles on the road to finish the home and home series this past Monday night, trying to extend their streak to a club record ninth straight victory.

Just like their last home game, Silver dug themselves a hole to start the contest.  It was a bit larger then the two goal deficit this time as the Snot Bubbles stretched their lead to 4 - 0 after two periods of play.  The Silver players, having been in this position a time or two, were not worried.

Feisty forward Alex "Coop" Cooper, feeling untouchable with a birthday celebration around the corner, was doing his normal "Coop" things like carving up of opponents and flying around the ice with reckless abandon.  This led to him starting off the scoring for Silver.  The rally caps were brought out and Silver soon had buried three more from Mullendore, Schultz, and Van Brocklin, tying the game with just under three minutes to spare.  There was plenty of time for some more Silver heroics as the Snot Bubbles were back on their heels.

The streak was alive and Silver was riding high, looking to finish the job in regulation, if not another shootout.  Then disaster struck as an errant pass went off a skate and set up the Snot Bubbles for the eventual winning goal with only 14 seconds left.  Some people say you cannot give a good player a bad pass.  Some players that are older and not as quick as they once were, say they have a stick for a reason and not to pass it in their skates.

The Prestigious LA Ross Silver Helmet Memorial Trophy and the Obscure Bryan "Mario" Alexander Silver Lancers Fedora (PLARSHMT & OBMASLF) were not awarded in the loss.  Despite winning two draws, Alex Cooper won the Faceoff Chain.  His fine from last year for attending a male cheer-leading event instead of a game is still outstanding and has accrued a sizeable amount of interest.

Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 6.02

This is the 112th posting of the news articles from the Beer and Pretzel Hockey League written by the beat writer that covers the league.  He calls himself Dickie Dunn - his true identity is unknown.

Greetings hockey fans and welcome to a scalding hot edition of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 6.02.  If you have not been paying attention to the season, Silver team was on an absolute heater, winning their last SEVEN games heading into the new year and their first tilt of 2024, which happened to be against the Double Snot Bubbles on 4 January.

It looked like Silver may have had a bit of new year hangover after going down one rip in the first minute of the game.  Things looked a little more dire three minutes later when they allowed the second goal.  That is as bad as it got for Silver, with the defense stiffening up and offense waking up to rally, tying the game with two quick goals of their own to end the first period.

It was tight for the entire second period and well into the third before DSB struck again to take a one goal lead.  Silver answered less than a minute later to knot it at three and ultimately force a shootout.  There was a close call on a roughing minor, when it looked like one of the DSBs players died on the ice after being stood up on the blue line, but he shook it off after getting a whiff of some smelling salts.

Silver goalie CJ Tate was faked out of his pads on the first DSB attempt but made a diving paddle save to stun the several DSB fans in the stands.  Maas was also unsuccessful for Silver's first attempt.  DSB opened the scoring in the shootout in the second round and Mullendore answered with a bit of fancy puck handling that led to a backhand shelf from a narrow angle.  DSB again scored putting the pressure on Voss to keep it tied, which he did easily with a wicked shot on the ice, surprising the DSB tender.  DSB then failed to score in the first round of sudden death, leaving the door open for SIlver's Paul Bednarz to play the hero.

Bednarz took the puck slow and headed out wide to his left before turning back toward the DSB netminder.  It was over in a flash and a thud as the biscuit hit the back middle pad, beating the goalie short side and rocketing the Silver team onto the ice for a celebration of their eighth straight victory.

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF were awarded to the game hero Paul Bednarz, who added an assist in regulation.  It was hard to pick just one as Voss netted two during regulation and one in the shootout with Tate allowing just three in regulation and stopping more than the other guy in the shootout.  Despite winning one draw, Alex Cooper won the Faceoff Chain.  His fine from last year for attending a male cheer-leading event instead of a game is still outstanding and has accrued a sizeable amount of interest.

Stars of the Game

1)  Paul Bednarz

2)  Zach Voss

3)  CJ Tate

Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 6.01

This is the 111th posting of the news articles from the Beer and Pretzel Hockey League written by the beat writer that covers the league.  He calls himself Dickie Dunn - his true identity is unknown.

Greetings hockey fans and welcome to the first 2024 edition of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 6.01.  It has been a year since the last post from this publication but our subscriber numbers have not suffered.  Dickie Dunn has been a busy guy and to be honest, there was not much to write about for the Silver squad.

The 2022-23 season ended without much fanfare.  I would like to tell you that after their first game of 2023, which resulted in an absolute rout of the Double Snot Bubbles, Silver went on to win every game for the rest of the year, including a BPHL Championship, but that isn't what happened.  Black and Gold won a lot of games and then played each other in the finals to see which cared the most about the glory days.  The "Run for One" was dashed again.

The start of the 2023-24 season is well behind us and the 2nd year GM/Owner, the Natty Daddy, made some serious off-season roster moves.  Lock-down D-man Jeff Evans opted out of the season, which was certainly a blow to the blue line.  We were given this official statement from Evans' agent, "This is not the end of hockey for Jeff, he will be in tip top shape during the offseason and will be ready to come back at a moments notice."  When asked if he meant physical shape or beer drinking shape, the agent only shrugged with a wry smile saying, "I think you know the answer to that."  A couple other roster changes have seen the departure of a pair of Mikes and Adam Collette.

The Natty Daddy backfilled those losses with at least one Midland Warrior and a couple other promising young players.  The full-time goalie position was awarded to CJ Tate as late season fill-in Angus the Irishman got deported.  Veteran D-man, Dustin Gangelhoff, has also relegated himself to only play Thursday games.  

Silver opened up the new season with a dismal 1 - 8 record, getting outscored 41 - 82 in those games.  It turns out all they needed was a long weekend and some turkey dinner to get things moving in the right direction.  Silver caught fire at the end of November and have rattled off seven straight victories - a club record.  Last Thursday they capped off the DECEMBER to REMEMBER, beating Red 8 - 5.  The score was a lot closer than the game.

Scoring opened up quickly at 22 seconds with Gangelhoff springing Maas for a semi-breakaway, where he finished by sending the netminder's water bottle soaring into the frosty air.  Red answered and kept it close in the first, but Silver opened the floodgates starting in the second, scoring five unanswered to make it a 7 - 2 lead well into the third.  Red got their third goal with just over 4 minutes to play.  Silver tacked on one more insurance goal before giving up two goals late.  There was some speculation about the lax defense late in the game, maybe some betting interests were involved as the O/U was 12.5.

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF were awarded to Branden Maas who netted a hattrick.  Despite winning zero draws, Alex Cooper won the Faceoff Chain.  His fine from last year for attending a male cheer-leading event instead of a game is still outstanding and has accrued a sizeable amount of interest.

Stars of the Game

Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 5.09

This is the 110th posting of the news articles from the Beer and Pretzel Hockey League written by the beat writer that covers the league.  He calls himself Dickie Dunn - his true identity is unknown.

Greetings hockey fans and welcome to another gnarly edition of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 5.09.  Silver and Double Snot Bubbles squared off Monday for their first head to head matchup of 2023.

Silver has had little success against the Bubbles this season, losing all of the previous 3 games by a margin of 10 - 22.  That was the 2022 Silver squad.  The Bubbles were in for a surprise at the amount of work that can be done in a month, which was the last time they faced the Silver team.

After a scoreless first period, both teams knew that this game was not your typical BPHL bout.  Even without the scoring, there was a carnival-like atmosphere in the arena.  Despite the score being 0 - 0, there were plenty of offensive chances which came with many fantastic saves.

Silver opened up the scoring, taking a 1 - 0 lead in the second period with a Voss tally.  Double Snot Bubbles answered with 2 goals of their own to finish the period, clinging to a 1 goal lead.  Silver tied the game 22 seconds into the third period after a soft dump in the corner was misplayed by the Bubble's goalie behind the net, leaving the puck on a SILVER platter for Schulz to scoop up and score with ease.  Silver lost a key player starting the 3rd period after Bednarz needed to leave the ice with an apparent LBI.  He is considered day-to-day.

The rest of the game was much like the first period with many scoring chances and more acrobatic saves.  In the end, Silver was able to bury the game winner with 22 seconds left, after controlling the puck in their offensive end, getting a shot from the point on a screened goalie, finishing with a rebound goal from Voss.  A fantastic dressing room celebration was imminent and Silver remains UNDEFEATED in 2023.

On a completely unrelated note, please be sure to register a complaint with the league office for listing Silver team's colors as "grey/black" when they are, in fact, SILVER/black.  (matthew.slattery@yahoo.com)

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF were awarded to Tyler Grosche for his outstanding performance in net and his appreciation of icy cold Busch Lattes.  Dustin Gangelhoff took 7 draws to finish the game, cleanly winning all but the 1 Harral threw in the Bubble's defensive corner to win the Faceoff Chain for the first time this season.  Puck possession was flipped in the late stages of the 3rd period and certainly was a major factor in Silver bagging the game winner.  The current owner of the chain, Alex Cooper, was scratched due to an upper body injury from the previous game.  This still does not make up for his previous absence and the team stated that his fine is still outstanding and starting to accrue interest.

Stars of the Game

1)  Tyler Grosche

2)  Zach Voss

3)  Dustin Gangelhoff

Greetings hockey fans and welcome to another fantastic edition of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 5.08.  Silver and Double Snot Bubbles squared off last Thursday for their second game of the young season.

Silver was able to keep the game close through two periods before falling by a total of 4 - 7.  The Silver goaltender carousel continued with their league record 5th different goalie in seven games.  Mullendore paced Silver with two goals while Voss and Parrone added one apiece.  The loss kept Silver in the cellar for the time being, but do not expect them to stay there all season.  This team just has too much heart for that to happen.

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF are not awarded in losses.  Alex Cooper worked his tail off in all facets of the game to win the Faceoff Chain for a fifth consecutive game.  This still does not make up for his previous absence and the team stated that his fine is still outstanding and starting to accrue interest.

Greetings hockey fans and welcome to another swell edition of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 5.07.  Silver and Red went head to head this past Monday in the early game of the BPHL slate.  Silver was looking to avenge a SOL from earlier in the season and got on the board twice in the first period and never surrendered the lead.

Silver was again led by Zach Voss, who netted his second consecutive hat trick - a natural in the second period.  Mullendore and Blaszkiewicz also rounded out the scoring.  Rob Barton had a career night with three helpers.  Goaltender Tyler Grosche was solid in net to get his first victory of the season by turning away 26 of 30 shots.

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF were awarded to Zach Voss.  Alex Cooper worked his tail off in all facets of the game to win the Faceoff Chain for a fourth consecutive game.  This still does not make up for his previous absence and the team stated that his fine is still outstanding and starting to accrue interest.

Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 5.06

This is the 107th posting of the news articles from the Beer and Pretzel Hockey League written by the beat writer that covers the league.  He calls himself Dickie Dunn - his true identity is unknown.

Greetings hockey fans and welcome to another super edition of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 5.06.  Silver and Black met for the second time this season on Thursday, 27 November.  Black brought the same full effort and roster that they always do, but Silver was ready this time.  After a lopsided first period, Silver fought back in the second period to knot the score at 5 - 5, getting the equalizer on a Mullendore power play goal at 11:55 of the 2nd period. After exchanging a couple goals apiece in the 3rd, the crazy, high-scoring, back and forth game, ended tied after regulation at 7 - 7.

After Black scored and Coop missed in the first round of the shootout, Silver goalie stoned the final two Black attempts and Bednarz and New Mitch led Silver to the shootout victory!

Zach Voss - 3 G, 1 A

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF were awarded to Zach Voss.  Alex Cooper worked his tail off in all facets of the game to win the Faceoff Chain for a third consecutive game.  This still does not make up for his previous absence and the team stated that his fine is still outstanding and starting to accrue interest.

Stars of the Game

1)  Zach Voss

2)  Jake Mullendore

3)  CJ Tate

Silver is back in action on Monday, 7 November at RALSTON Arena at 7:00 PM.  If you haven't been to the BRAND NEW BPHL WEBSITE yet, please go and check it out.  Slattery Design has really outdone themselves.  Thanks to a great scheduling snafu, the entire BPHL took last week off to rake leaves across the community.  Together, they bagged 1,800 tons of leaves out of Ralston yards.  Silver and Red will match up for the second time this season with Red winning the first contest in a shootout.  It is the first Monday of MOVEMBER.  Free tickets to anyone with visible mustache after 7 days of no shaving.  Also, free prostate exams will be conducted in the Red dressing room pre- and post-game - although that is not related to MOVEMBER.
