The Boys Are Back In Town!

Well sports fans the rumor was that the Boys In Red were sitting back on their posteriors after their stunning win at the Kitchener Tourny. Well last night the detractors were silenced. In what should prove to be one of the highlights of the year, the Red squad came out with both barrels blazing. The play moved end to end all night with a little ol' time hockey thrown in to boot. Dan the Bulldog played a Who's Your Daddy face washing with a Sunderland player who took offence with his position in front of their goalie.
Eddie showed off his new Figure Skating talents, although if he's walking a little funny today he may want to think about toning down the splits just a bit.
Chris S., after his substantial rest period with the Mitt and Glove crowd came back with a goal and an assist as well as a near miss on a breakaway fed by Eddie.
What was up with the Ole Man? Marc A. was playing like a man on fire. Good going MarC. Keep up the good work.
The best offence is a good defence. George played well between the pipes and supported his team right to the final horn.
Last but certainly not least let's not forget Miss M.S. on the Forwards door and the score clock. Good job Maggie May.
Everyone played well together last night, like a team should. Funny what happens when you forget the dipsy doodle and focus on the FUNdamentals, like shooting on the net.
Till next time Sports Fans!
Back To The Grind

Hello sports fans everywhere! My apologies go out to you and yours if you were disapointed in not hearing from this stalwart reporter during the tournament. As the elder statesman is oft times heard to say, "Hockey is only one part of the Tournament Experience!" We did have several "Experiences" over the weekend, some of which this scribe will relate, some of which, for the sake of brevety and reputations will not be repeated here! First off, give a big round out to the Chien Chaud for their stellar performance. Home with the title for the second year running. It looks like the boys have the line-up that works. One of the stand out moments of the tournament came during the first game when young Mr. Pat stood toe-to-toe with a player from the team which, as it turns out was our nemesis for the gold medal round. A little tet a tet formed at centre ice and when the smoke cleared both protagonists were ousted from the game and tournament. The other 2 games were hard fought battles by the Boys In Red leaving them to settle the score in the final game, and as seen in the game breakdown the Dogs aquitted themselves in grand fashion.
The result of the centre ice face washing was a chance by yours truly to observe Dr. Doom, better known as Eddie the Tiger perform a little sewing job on Mr. P in Eddie and Cliff's bathroom. It was all quite thrilling from a neophytes point of view. I will definately have a greater appreciation of the Turkey come Thanksgiving!
The Saturday night was filled with much jocularity as the majority of the team got together to go out to dinner. This has become a tradition within the team and is always a special event, ever the more so as Mr. J. Kelly and associates came up with nick-names for each and every member of the team. Much thought was put into this endeavor and the boys were quite grateful for John's deep felt consideration for each and every one of them.
Well we're two weeks back from that tournament and the boys are back at the grind. Two losses in a row but this reporter believes that it's more about the play than the win-loss catagory.
Keep up the good work guys and we'll see you next week.
Remember, keep your stick on the ice.
Heads Up Heading Into The Tournament

Well we'll see if someone "Let the Dogs Out" at the right time, but if last night's showing is any indication the Boys In Red are ready for whatever they face this coming weekend. Yes, avid readers this is "THE" weekend of the Hot Dog's year. The Kitchener Oldtimers Tournament. Back to the Tournament in a moment, first let's talk about last night.
To say that George Gauthier was asleep at the wheel last night would be an understatement! The no-show called after the drop of the puck with a "Slept In" excuse. No matter, your faithful writer, with the suggestion of Jim McGarry found a young lad named Justin Patterson in the pad next to ours who was more than willing to come in and protect the pipes, and protect he did. Way to go Justin and Thanks. By the way Justin comes with a fine pedigree. He joins the ranks of Hot Doggers who cut their Hockey Teeth in the arms of the Oshawa Catholic High School, later known as Paul Dwyer. The list of alumni include Cliff Lehman 1st and some would say, best coach of OCHS, our own Captain Marc Adams, bulldogger Dan O'Neill, former Captain Jack Lehman, power forward Kevin Kelly, his indispensible brother on defence, John Kelly, the Brothers Chris and Pat Sabyan, our Referee In Chief Mike Kelly and your humble writer.
The guys started off slow but came on in the middle of the frame to dominate the evening. Some might say that Kevin's spirited pep talk on the bench may have spurred the boys to victory.
Regardless the boys performed admirally and look to be in good shape for the coming weekend. I will be travelling with the team as I have been given exclusive access all weekend long. I will be reporting from Kitchener whenever I feel like it so stay tuned avid reader, there is all sorts of fun ahead.
Post Holiday Blaws

Well welcome to the New Year! It seemed that some of the team was still in holiday mode last night. Jeff's agent said he was in contract negotiations and was sitting out the night. Chris S. was in Las Vegas and Pat S. was adding a little "Spark" to someone's life. The boys took a while to get started and their first hash mark on the board was a goal by Dan O'Neill at the 13 minute mark to tie the score. Georgie's came back with 4 before Joe Colacicco took it end to end and scored a solo. Ed Shure finished off the scoring for the Red Boys at the 41st minute with help from the Hawkins duo of Mark and Cory (aka Cliff McCabe).
The Dogs have one more Kick at the Proverbial Cat before the Tournament. This reporter can say with certainty that for better or worse, the boys are primed and ready for Kitchener.
A Reality Check Is Humbling

Well the Burnt Steaks came into the Red Boys barn smarting from the 5-4 loss back on Nov 24th and looking for some retribution, and they got it. The Hot Dogs had a hard time getting their heads into the game. It didn't help that the average age of any given oppositon line was 12, but this reporter was hoping that the wiseness of years would prevail. Not so. Between John Kelly and Jeff Donaldson being shut out of scoring opportunities and the multitude of missed attempts, the Steaks netminder stymied our boys until the 49th minute when our boy Eddie slipped it passed the pipes for the first Red goal of the night. Kevin added another in the 50th minute to allow the boys to leave the rink with their heads held high. The score does not reflect George's job in net this evening. He stood on his head on several shots that would certainly have caused the end result to be substantially higher. Well we are coming into the home stretch for the tournament. The Boys in Red are putting it together quite well and it will prove to be an interesting time in Kitchener this year.
I would just like to take this opportunity to wish all 3 of you stalwart readers and your familys a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
See you in the New Year-Brendan
