This is the 86th 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 rare DOUBLE article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 3.34. Silver and Rusty Red were in action Monday night. The new goalie, fresh off his shortened season with the Willmar Warhawks, was a major factor for Red, but Silver managed to hold on and win by a respectable score of 5 - 2. Other Creighton guy #1 was not in the line up for Red and could not extend his league leading 49 goals. The game was not without controversy however, when one of the kids without Creighton gear - which narrows it down considerably - got into a bit of a scrap with Silver star Jeff Harris. Some pushing, shoving ,and a bit of punching led to minor penalties for both players. The scuffle continued after the game in the handshake line after normally mild-mannered Chris Inserra instigated with Harris again, mentioning something about being DOCTOR HOOK and carving a man's eye out with a flick of the wrist. No suspensions were issued by the league office. Seeing that Inserra is actually a medical doctor, he may have just been trying to start a brawl to drum up some business.
The Thursday night game was between Silver and White, with Silver coming off four straight losses to White, they seemed to be due for a big win. Thanks to great goaltending in the Silver net and a bad White team strength and conditioning program, Silver blanked the White team for the first shutout in BPHL history. When asked about the performance, Martens spoke of the transcendent nature of the game, "This isn't just a big moment for the Silver team, it marks what was thought to be an unattainable achievement, not only in the BPHL, but in recreational adult hockey leagues everywhere."

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF were awarded to Zach Voss after the Red game. He had at least a pair of goals - one coming on a 12-mile assist. The pass from the Silver defensive zone was fired so hard it circled the rink at least a 160 times without being touched before Voss finally caught up to it in the Red slot and beat the new goalie to put the game on ice. Aaron Martens took the honor for the White shutout.
