Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 4.01

This is the 99th 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 season preview article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 4.01.  Silver and Gold met in the second round of the playoffs in what turned out to be the end of Silver's 2020 season.  The loss entrenched Silver into a 1st place finish (dare I say CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON) in the playoffs for teams not stacked with several former NCAA Division I hockey players and even some professionals - mirroring their regular season place finish of 1st.  Well done on a successful season!

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF (and Faceoff Chain) were awarded to the entire team for a stellar playoff performance and championship win.  Great season fellas!

Let's move on to the 2021 BPHL Silver Team preview!  Silver team is bringing back a large majority of the 2020 roster with some MAJOR additions.  Rumor has it that the Silver front office has inked Owen Stauber to a rookie contract and they have also come to terms with long-time league veteran (and the Silver Helmet Memorial Trophy namesake) L.A. Ross.  Silver is back in action with their first game against Red on Monday, 04 October at RALSTON Arena at 9:45 PM.  There is not much known about the 2021 Red Roster - tread lightly if making any wagers tonight.  Come on down to the Ralston Arena, bring the kids!  We've got entertainment for the whole family.

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