Scrimmage this Saturday, February 23rd

Come one, come all, to the season finale! Because we can't give up the season as long as there is still ice to trample, and the temperature is below freezing, we will venture out there just one more time to have a great time scrimmaging a team who needs little to no introduction: Emergency Brooms (John Farrell's team).

What: Fun, friendly broomball scrimmage game (or two, if we have time/interest)
Who: You (and your kids, wives, other family, pets, neighbors, etc.)
When: 10am to about Noon - Saturday the 23rd
Where: Logan Park - 690 13th Ave. NE Minneapolis, MN 55413

Hope to see you there!!!
Chris & Gus (still your Captains)

Playoffs - here we go...to the bar!

With the shots a blazin' and the feet a flyin', our opponents managed to blow past our offense and defense, scoring a total of 7 times. We were able to post a respectable 4 goals during the game...and thus made our first playoff game our last stand, at least for this season. (Oh yes, we'll be back - fear us!)

Player of the week goes to Anne Okerman! She showed up to play, hustled, and hunted down the ball on the ice, wherever it may have been.

Honorable mentions go to Alex and Jonny (for their outstanding hustle throughout the entire game).

Special thanks to Anna and Christie for subbing on team Absolut.

Until next season (or next weekend when we may scrimmage John Farrell's team at Logan Park in NE Mpls.) - Ciao!!!

Game 5 - Hey, there's our referee!

With the score of 6 (we) to 3 (they) our referee decided to call it a day, and a game, without actually telling either team! Here's the last "referee sighting" of the afternoon.....what the hell dude?!

We had a great 1st half, giving our offense ample opportunities to capitalize on centering-pass after centering-pass. We kept the pressure on their defense and the ball on their end for about 90% of the time. Our ultimate scoring machine (Nat) posted a hat-trick for the day. Other goal-scorers were: Dana - 1, Pete - 1, and Matt - 1. Great job team!

Does Kate look bored here? She didn't have much to do the first half.....and that's the way we like it!

It seems as though we had a commanding enough lead throughout most of the game that everyone was relaxed.....maybe too relaxed.....(wouldn't you like to have a beer in your hand right now?)

And everyone seemed to have a good time, except the refereee.....where's that confounded referee.....

Until the playoffs - ciao!
