A story of a man and his hockey league that has been decades in the making.
30-years of triumphs and tributes while balancing a league of talent and tantrums.
An event that took 60-minutes to make.., and will be over in 60-seconds.
This coming Tuesday on WCVB (Channel 5)… the “Wow” factor continues.
A first in the Over-30 League history.
The leagues “Top Brass” and talent converged together to bring you;
“The Over-30 League” with Bob Halloran
|
| Weekly Award Winners - Special Edition |
League Director Bill Abcunas signed WCVB’s Bob Halloran to a lucrative 1-day contract to officially make him an Over-30 League player.
(Without prodding or coaxing) - Bob could sign with any team he wanted to.., and ironically he chose to sign with the defending champions; Omerta.
Bob’s 1-day contract included an Omerta team jersey, 30th Anniversary Commemorative Booklet and Tee-shirt.., along with all (5) of the weekly awards.
The Over-30 League would graciously like to thank WCVB, Bob Halloran (and his videographer) for spending an hour of their time to shine a 60-second spotlight on the league.

Week #8 - Special Award
Bob Snyder
The Dunkin Donuts Player of the Week award winner is Bob Snyder of Last Call
Bob didn't score a goal or hat trick like another defenseman... Bob played his typical under the radar style of defense.
So why is he the Dunkin Donuts Player of the Week Winner?
Bob did what JFK told him to do... "ask not what the Over-30 League can do for you, ask what you can do for the Over-30 League."
Bob played a major role in personally getting Bob Halloran from WCVB (Channel 5) to come up to hockeytown this past Thursday and spent over an hour talking to the Over-30 board members and a few key players that were invited up.
We have been trying to get media coverage for the Over-30 League without success and Bobby delivered the goods.
There are a couple more things we are exploring with Bob.., but having Bob Halloran spend an hour with us for a 1-minute segment on a major news network is another "WOW" factor!

| Week #8
Bill Abcunas
The winner of the weekly Mortimer and Randolph Gaffe of the week award is our own League Director himself Bill Abcunas.
During the filming of the Bob O’Halloran WCVB(Channel5) segment…players were taking turns doing breakaways on Scotty Rosato. During one of the attempts.. Billy tried to a move on Scotty.. only to find himself face down in the bottom of a faceoff circle.
Bill almost turned a “Sports” news piece into and “9-1-1” piece.., Billy will argue that he made the goal on Scotty.., but just like saying Punxsutawney Phil can see his shadow.., no one saw the goal (except for him).
