2024 Spring Season Forum
Official Newsletter of the Old-Time Hockey Over-30 League

32-Seasons and counting...

Article 510 - January 27, 2024


"It may not be improper in the first place to inform your Readers, that I intend once a Fortnight to present them, by the Help of this Paper, with a short Epistle, which I presume will add somewhat to their Entertainment."

~ Mrs. Silence Dogood

League Announcements

Super Bowl Squares

Listen up!!  Super Bowl Squares are on sale: Buy (1) for $10 and get another (1) for $10… of buy (2) for $20 or (5) for $100.  No matter how you do the math it’s $10 a square and we need to sell a lot this week. 

We could easily fill these squares if we go outside of the league…, but we want to try and keep the winners to our league players.  So, if you’re planning on buying some “Non” Patriots Super Bowl Squares then please see Tony Medeiros this week…, We want to fill it up ASAP!!!


Truth... Lies... Facts... and Over-30 Fiction

PSA

We want to start this week’s Forum with a couple of PSA’s

First, we recognize that “Heckler’s Row” and its intended purpose of “Heckling and Chirping” is part of the fun…, but we want to relay to the players that your conduct needs to be kept in check at all times. 

We often have women and those little pesky kids within an ear shot of the action…, we ask that you keep the “Heckling” fun but also respectful.

During the regular season (we get it)…, but come time for the playoffs, there’s a reason why we shut down the forum and focus less on the banter and let players focus on playing.

Just remember it’s “Heckler’s Row” not “Rowdy Row” and if it becomes too rowdy the league will step in with disciplinary actions (if needed).

Hidden Message

We have a decoded message to our players…, that we’re sure you’ll know the hidden meaning and purpose of.  So read carefully between the lines and if you’re confused by this message, please see the League Director.

We are asking players who bring “Racks or Cases” to the gun range…, that you do not have permission from the Gun Range Officer to “Open Carry”.  All players that want to “shoot” need to be concealed.  We ask that if you bring “Racks or Cases” upstairs that they are in your hockey bag while transporting them upstairs.

While you are walking around “Shooting the shit” you also cannot open carry…, please use a Koozie, Paper bag, Red Solo Cup, or even the Jason Carrien sock puppets.

We are asking you to keep it on the down-low and preferably at the dimly lit Scoreboards Pub and Grill so as to adhere to the Hockeytown contract that the league has to sign every year.  

WTF??

If you missed the 4:30 game, you missed the “WTF” moment of the day.

What was that moment you ask?

It was everyone trying to figure out “WTF” was on Ricky Cassano’s chest?  Was it a medical device or something that was court ordered?

Looks like someone got a GoPro Camera from Santa and he thought he was the next Martin Scorsese and was going to make the Italian version remake of “Slapshot” starring the Royal Family as the Chiefs “the town's minor league hockey team, who are also struggling with a losing season and an increasingly hostile crowd.”

Nice job Ricky…, we look forward to the movie release date.

Opening Goal

We’re waiting on the footage..., but Ricky Cassano did capture the opening goal of the season by his own Captain Angelo De Luca…, whose goal was assisted by none other than “GoPro Ricky”.

We’re waiting to see if in the video Rick can be heard yelling “Get me the assist” to Angelo.

We’re also waiting to see if “GoPro Ricky” and his first goal of the season, which actually tied the game at 4-4 was caught on video…, or was it just another blurry “Bigfoot” footage moment.

More Royal Apparatus

Looks like Santa was nice to some of the Royal Family members…,  as along with “GoPro Ricky” and his new toy…, Gino Tammaro was spotted wearing something on his head that we’ve never seen Gino wearing before. 

We’re not sure if Gino’s new helmet is going to be a weekly thing…, or was he just wearing it because he was playing against the League Director the “Nortorious B.I.G.”  (Billy’s an Instigating Goon).

Leaked Footage

Looks like we received some video footage from “GoPro Ricky” and his chest cam that was sent to the Over-30 League’s Internal Affairs Department for review and possible disciplinary actions.

During the opening game last week there was a moment captured on video of an altercation involving Black Magic Captain Dominic DeFrancisco and Rick Cassano.

Unlike the 5-minute “Unsportsmanlike” penalty that was missed during the Black Magic vs White Lies playoff game when Dom smashed his stick against the glass in anger (that went unnoticed by the referee’s.., but not by every other person watching the game)…, this time Dominic was caught losing his cool and it was all caught on video thanks to “GoPro Ricky”.


Goalie News

Royal Family Goaltender Jeff Deharo was also spotted wearing some new pads that were left under the Christmas Tree.  We’re not sure if Santa took Jeff’s old 3.85 GAA goalie pads back to the north pole for a “Royal Tune up” and left him a brand new pair of 5.00 GAA pads…, we’ll have to monitor the new pads performance and hopefully Santa left a gift receipt under the tree as well.

Congratulations Steve Taddonio you finally made it back to the top of the leaders board.  It’s been a long time since your picture was featured at the top.  Enjoy it while it lasts…, we hear Scotty Rosato wants his top spot back.

Dale McIsaac you picked the right week to suck in net…, as in any sport it’s all about timing as 2-weeks ago you looked like Nikolai “The Bulin Wall” Khabibulin…, and last week you looked like a piece of Swiss Cheese in net.

Technology Difficulties

We want to apologize to the players who stood around waiting to see who the “Lucky 13” winner was going to be…, only to witness technical difficulties.

The 5:30 Wheel Drawing for the “FREE” Spring Season started out rocky as our admin team struggled to meet the technological demands and pressure of hosting a live drawing on the big screen.

However, the team pulled it off and we were able to see Pat Pirone’s name stop on the wheel and give Pat a $320 “tax break” this season.

But the 6:30 Wheel Drawing for the “Lucky 13” raffle was doomed since an unlicensed electrician unplugged the laptop power and we lost all of the Wheel Drawing Names.

We did learn a lot from our first experience at doing a live drawing at Hockeytown and we can assure you that “ALL” future “LIVE” Wheel Drawings on the big screen will run a lot smoother.

“Rob-bed”

Since we had technical difficulties at Hockeytown…, our VP of Fundraising, Tony Medeiros had to for a lack of a better term, “Recreate the Wheel” and do an online drawing that was sent to the players via email.

Sorry Rob Sheridan you are the new Derek Donegan as you got “Rob-bed” by Steve Medeiros by one click of the wheel.

Forum Power

Last week we published some 2024 Bulletin Board Material for a few players and a couple of players have already responded to being called out.  As the expression goes; "The pen is mightier than the sword".

Congratulations to Sandbaggers Captain Dave Costa and his underboss Tony Bono…, last season you were the only two players on your team to score ZERO goals.  The very first week after being called out publicly in the Forum you both notched a goal to start the season.

Now let’s try this experiment again:  Hey Mike Naczas are you going to beg for more than 2-assists this season?  Now we wait….

Marooned 5

The 2023 Winter Season defending champs Marooned wasted no time in getting back to the top of the leaderboards with a “Marooned 5”-4 win over the Sandbaggers.

Mike Duggan took his seat at the head of the table with 3-goals and zero assists…, which is a good start Mike (if) you’re going for the 30-goal Club.  Let’s see what happens this week though. 

Remember Mike it’s the 30-goals Club (or) the 20/20 Club…, you can’t join both.

New Hat Trick Missed

Almost, Bobby Snyder you came within 1-goal of having a new hat trick named after you.

You had an assist (that you didn’t beg for)…,  a penalty (that you deserved)…, but you just needed a goal (that will never happen) to record a “TOVI Waffle Cone” trick

Livin’ on a Prayer

“Joey used to work on the docks, union's been on strike”

“He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough”

It’s not that tough Joe Carlton…, you have a new “Union” now and it was nice to show your Union Boss John Kelleher that your $160 union dues deposit was paid and that you’re already paying dividends for the Tealsters Union with your first goal of the season.

Oh and Joe (just remember this) "You've gotta hold on to what you've got…, It doesn't make a difference if you “WIN” it or not…, You've got each other and that's a lot…, So just take the shot!!"
