Summer scrimmage

With Sunday Morning Road Hockey's regular season still a couple of months away, the roadsters will get a chance to see how much work they have to do to get ready for it at a special Summer Scrimmage, to be held at the hockey courts Wednesday, August 16, at 6:30 PM.

"It's been a long off-season," says fellow founding father, the Living Legend, who will be strapping on the shin pads for his 16th season. "This will be a good opportunity to work some of the rust out and test our fitness for the coming season."

As in similar games held in previous off-seasons, Wednesday's match will be for fun, with nothing at stake but a chance for the roadsters to assess how soft their teammates and opponents have gotten after a few months of languid living and summer sloth. The game will last until darkness. Sunday Morning Road Hockey's 16th season is expected to begin in early October.

PFG:

There was a game but hardly anyone showed up. In fact only 5 people showed and 2 of them were veterans who hadn't been at the courts in some time.

The players were:

Beetle Boy
Colonel
Living Legend
Whirling Dervish
Guy Called Mike

Yep, Dervish and GCM were there! GCM and Beetle Boy took turns in net using jury-rigged goalie equipment that would have made MacGyver proud. It was a half-court 2 on 2 game. I can't remember the final score but it was close. It definitely wasn't a fast-paced game but it was fun nonetheless.

Both Whirling Dervish and GCM said they may be able to make a few regular season games this year.

See everybody in late September when the season starts.

Can't make it either, apparently attending Cowboy's girlfriend's dinner is of minor importance.
