Welcome back Falcon hockey fanS. We are extremely excited to return to our online masses, and bring you up to date reports of tHese famous fAt men. But first an apology, it is with deep regret that we were Not ablE to covers last years games. A crIppling caSe of writers block, coupled with the arab spring uprisings, creAted a tinderbox of civil unrest that this team Just could not risk sparking with thEir witty columns. We aRe changing the format slightly, and instead of one dedicated member of the press writing, we are opening up the website to all players who wish to report and/or know the alphabet. (Don't hold your breath). We hope you liKe it.
First person to correctly decode hidden message in above column wins season tickets.
It's a slow begining to the Falcons season, December is on the verge and the team has yet to play. Not surprisingly the team has already rescheduled one game. But instead of a too small roster being the cause, unfavorable ice conditions were (too much sand, too many pipes) At the end of last year a dwindling roster was effecting the outcome of too many games. Changes were promised by the Falcons, but it seemed nothing more than lip service to please the team's large fan base. Uncharacteristically, the team would not give forth any information on this year's bunch. Thanks to the website WikiLeaks, this is what we believe to be true.
Fiery d-man Kelly Schwartz and 3 composite blades were traded to the Hodgeville Huskies for tall, lanky, defenseman Dalles Turnbull. Dalles' addition would be well received by the shorter members of the squad who have trouble reaching their sticks on the back of half tons. Also on the D front, the team has been wooing a certain grizzled, old, veteran, player from Ernfold. The main issue seems to be obtaining his release from the Moose Jaw Canucks. Rumors persist of 2 players from the Morse region being interested, although their identities could not be obtained. And a renewed committment from the Smith brothers (thank you Swift Current user fee) promise to make this the most exciting Falcon season ever.
First game of the is Wednesday, Dec 1, and new promotions manager Jackie Moon, who is guaranteeing big time promotions this year, is offering free corn dogs for every fan if the Falcons score more than 25 this game.
Team officials recently released the Falcons Code of (Mis)Conduct, here are the contents.
I will try to make every game, or let team officials know in the event of my absence. Punishment for failing to do so will be supplying beverages for next game.
I will treat the Falcon jersey with respect. Alterations must be professionally done, not pre-game if jersey is deemed too tight
I will not smoke on the bench. Chewing is permitted, albeit with proper phlegm disposal.
I will communicate my language to team members in a manner they will understand, lots of 4 letter words(adjectives or nouns) are encouraged.
I will not chastise forwards for not back checking, forwards will do likewise for D men pinching.
I will not play country music in dressing rooms or enroute to games
I will work hard at practice
I will not wear pink skate laces.
Performance enhancing drugs are not permitted, but substances which have a detrimental effect might be.
I will bring post game beverages to share once in a while, I will not constantly mooch off others.
If post game beverages are down to the last one, individual who brought them has right to claim.
Obscene gestures to opposing team are permitted, provided they are blocked from view of fans.
I will respect the fans and will sign all autographs requested.
I will not track cow#$%@ into the rink.
I will be deemed "fair game" to all pranks if I "fall asleep" at post game activities.
I will be aware of all establishments with good chicken wings on road games.
I will not rat a teammate out if some questionable explanations are given to their significant other.
I will not cheer for the Montreal Canadiens.
I will not remove my skate and attempt to stab the opposing team.
I will be able to recite any and all lines from the movie Slap Shot.
Any person with concerns or suggestions for the Code of (Mis)Conduct may take it up with the Board of Directors
For those of you wondering about the off season events of Lawtonia's 6th favorite team, a brief question and answer session was held this past week. Unfortunately because of the extreme heat grasping the region, the press conference had to be moved from the outdoors to inside Shane Jahnke's truck, which just had his a/c topped up. Seating was limited.
Once again this sizzling summer was at the forefront, team trainer Dion Grimm was quite concerned with Falcon players over doing it with their off season conditioning. Grimm stressed the importance of proper fluid intake over the summer. Falcon players are expected to report to camp in shape, and a fitness consultant will be hired to perform tests at the camps beginning.
To commemorate the milestone 2nd anniversary of the team, a Falcon limited edition coin was proposed to the Royal Canadian Mint. The team was eagerly awaiting a response as of press time. On a sad note, production of the fast selling Falcon Flakes had to be halted. Team officials were less than forthcoming about this issue, muttering something about the Roughriders cease and desist order.
Season ticket packages will be capped at 8 this year. Marketing Director Marlon Haubrich cited the team wanted to keep some walk up tickets available to the public. A number of complaints were registered last year about the tough task of finding Falcon tickets. Anyone wanting season tickets should move quickly as only 3 packages are left.
Coach Corey Haubrich was elated with the prospect of obtaining a tall, tough, stay-at-home defenseman this year. The coach was fed up with the back ends incessant partying last year, and was considering installing a curfew. The team is quite happy with it's returning forwards and are hoping someone will actually backcheck this year.
And finally the team is looking for people to fill the following postions: head of security, webcast color commentary, souvenir booth attendant, luxury booth attendant, bus driver, zamboni driver, public address announcer, mascot, and most importantly team nurse.
Sadly, the last game of the Falcons '09-'10 season was played Tuesday night in Riverhurst against Central Butte. This game was a makeup game left over from last season. With a season low lineup of 6 Falcon regulars and one Rush Lake player picked up, the host team felt pity on the Falcons and lent them 2 more players. The game was competitive but in the end the Falcons lost 8-5. Highlight of the night was the first goal of the year for Falcon forward Alex Maclean. Alex has been somewhat snake-bitten this year and it was nice to see him find his way on the scoresheet.
Darren Schwartz takes home the goal scoring title with 27 goals. Squeak also takes home the most shots award, and awards for hollering the most at the opponents as well as his own team. Wade Brown records the most wins, but was edged out by Brad Coward for goals against lead. Brown vows to crank up his blackish liquid intake next year. Kelly Nelson wins the award for most blood shed on ice. Best defenseman was too close to call. Curiously though, the rest of the league has voted Falcon defenseman as the dirtiest of the goup. This was a landslide win, by a cakewalk, seriously not even close. Mike Smith took home the penalty minute title. Lady Byng Sportsmanship trophy was awarded to Dion Grimm. Defensive forward trophy will not be awarded this year.
The Falcon windup has been set for late March at someone's shop in Hodgeville. Only other details solidified are that it will involve Bud Light and chicken wings.
Thank you to all the Fans who supported the team.
