GOALTENDING
STALWART WAWROW
On
February 20, 1999, Goaltending Stalwart Wawrow became the first roadster
to be inducted into the Sunday Morning Road Hockey Hall of Fame.
One of the game's original founding fathers, the Stalwart was just that,
gamely taking his place between the pipes, facing down the sting of the
evil orange plastic ball, week after week, mostly without the protection
of pads through most of his storied career.
The
Stalwart was automatically inducted into the Hall of Fame immediately
upon his retirement to pursue a career opportunity in a new city.
There
are two ways to view the induction presentation, the interactive Director's
Cut for high-speed modems, and a more modest Blockbuster Cut, for regular
dial-up connections.
SNIPER
DAVE
The
end of Sunday Morning Road Hockey's ninth season also marked the end of
Sniper Dave's road hockey career, as he retired to move to a new city.
Sniper
Dave began his career late in Sunday Morning's first season at the old
tennis courts, as one of the original Philbuds. Beneath his omnipresent
baseball cap, pulled down low over his brow, and his easy-going demeanor,
he quickly established himself as a pure goal scorer. His rapier shot
could find the top corners over a goalie's shoulders with frightening
accuracy, and he could singlehandedly break a game wide open.
He
was also a steady back-up goalie, who wouldn't hesitate to strap on the
pads when called upon to relieve a goalie crisis.
While
Sniper Dave's ability to commit to the game waned in the twilight years
of his career, as family and business commitments weighed in, he is honored
in the Hall of Fame as one of Sunday Morning Road Hockey's most versatile
players.
