Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 14

Fourteenth 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 fascinating article Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 14.  Silver team was back in action last Thursday taking on the cellar-dwelling Purple team at Baxter arena.  To the untrained eye, it may have looked like Purple was going to give Silver a scare as they jumped out to an early 2 - 0 lead.  The veteran team did not even blink, knowing that Griff was about to buckle down and slam the door.

Silver rattled off 11 straight goals and ended up cruising to an easy 11 - 3 victory.  It wasn't completely without incident though as "Mario" let several howitzers fly from any and everywhere, sending players of Silver and Purple alike diving for the corner (and still not knowing if they were safe!).  New Mitch also had a bit of a tumble and looked as if he may have been sniped from the rafters.  Nobody blamed him though as everyone in the building knew he was feeling the pressure to impress his old coach who was evaluating him from the bench.

It was certainly a stat padding night for Silver as markers came from several players including another SICK tip from newcomer Golden Griffin, Taylor "Above the" Law.  The full bench played to Silver's strength as many of the "hefty" veterans were given a well deserved rest, at the most rigorous time in the team schedule.

Stars of the Game
1) Griffith Watson
2) Taylor Law
3) Mario

Silver looks to complete the sweep when they play the second game of the last home and home series on the road against Purple, opening at RALSTON on Monday, 8 April at 10:00 PM.

Remember, Dickie Dunn wrote this, so it's gotta be true
