Schlidaveur Championship Game Tonight!

Schlitz (3, 2-0) vs
Cadavers (2, 2-1)

Canton 9:10

Huskies Division Championship Game!
(1 of possible 2)

The Golden (and Good Looking) Schlitz face off against the Gritty and Battle Tested Cadavers for the Division Championship. We all know what happened the last time these two met in this very Playoff Tournament. But things were different. The opening game of the playoffs for both clubs had juggled rosters and several key players out.

Now the Zombies have won two in a row, a crushing win over the Freeze and a spectacular clutch win over the first seeded Tigers last week. Can the Golden Schlitz hold off the rampaging Zombies? Who will show and play?

Remember now, if the Zombies win tonght it will force a Penultimate Championship Schli-double-daveur to break the 1 game each tie. This scenario will certainly make the Blogger's head explode, as he is already running out of superlatives... But it is certainly possible.

Roster update and Review....as of 11:00am today.

Welcome to the Hockey Blog!

Team, friends, opponents, and random wanderers of the digital landscape... Welcome.

In these humble pages do I offer the game stories, mundane facts, stats, and proud tales of our Beer League Hockey teams the Cadavers and the Schlitz.

Can you say something is just a hobby if you do it once (or twice) a week for as long as you can remember? I don't know, but I love to play hockey. We've been playing with one incarnation of this team or another for ten years plus now. We play even if the games are late at night, or on a weeknight (they are usually both), and the kids haven't been sleeping great, and you have to be to work early tomorrow morning. We still go play. Its just what we do to play our game.

Our hobby... or what we do every week, sometimes(mostly) late at night in far away places. Then we like to have a cold beverage and talk about it in the parking lot afterward. Because that's a big part of it to... as you will see.

I got to thinking a while back that we should keep stats. You know, some way to give a story line to the season. So many of them had flown by, it was hard to remember all the things that had happened to the team or teams over the years.

Keeping track of the stats and email conversation threads that went on and on told our story in a new way. Which was cool.
Then I discovered blogger.

The Blog is a perfect forum, in my opinion, to tell our story, and the perfect companion "hobby" to my weekly sport hobby. Each week we get a game story and maybe some fun stories about the game. It works great now with the two teams because everyone wants to know how the other squad did.

So this is the story of our teams and our friends. I hope you find pleasure in the telling of our tales. A good game, a hard skate and usually a cold beer afterward. There are few greater things one can do with their time. At least that's what we think.

Please feel free to comment, whomever you are. The more the merrier I say as long as you are polite... or very funny. Visitors, friends, and opponents thoughts are always welcome. I invite you to share what you have to say. Everyone.

Thanks for reading.
Enjoy.
