Over 30 Hockey League

Sold Out!!

Nice work Tony Medeiros… the $20 Super Bowl Squares are sold out… and if the Patriots can beat the Broncos this weekend… it will be a more enjoyable game to watch and have some money on.

Look for the numbers to be published on the website later in the week.

Taste of Route One

Once again, we are treating (2) lucky Over-30 League players to a “Taste of Route One” with (2) $150 prize packs that includes (3) $50 Gift Certificates to Route One restaurant(s) that you’ll be dining at (and in no particular order) they are; Grill 110, Kowloon, and Polcari’s

Listen for your name to be called at 5:30 to see if you’re one of the lucky two winners.

“Snowmageddon”

It’s the calm before the storm… the first “Snowmageddon” of 2026 and it starts on Sunday night.  Make sure you don’t go waiting until the last minute to shovel or push a snowblower… we don’t want to see next weeks IR Report filled with pulled muscles.  If you have kids and a wife (use them), so you stay healthy for your team.

If you didn’t get your bread and milk from Market Basket in time… John Kelleher might have some to offer on the black market (at double the price) as he has access to the warehouse in Tewksbury.

Colleen O’Connell & Shawn Mulcahy… enjoy your yearly (month long) sabbatical to Florida, and don’t worry this snow will still be here when you get back in February.

Only Responder

The 4:30 game was the equivalent of a pitcher’s duel at Fenway… Boring!!

The 1-0 highlight featured the only goal coming just 58-seconds into the game thanks to the only NBHL (Tier 1) player in the league, Mike O’Neill.

Mike was the “Only Responder” to score for the 4:30 game

With 63-shots in total, it was Anthony Petrillo (who’s an early candidate for Most Improved) was the unlucky goalie to let up just one goal in the first minute.

YeAAAAh Cap!!

Brian “Cappy” Capodilupo extends his streak to 3-games and without doing any fact checking… we think “Cappy” is the only one to have a 3-game scoring streak and a “perfect points season” thus far, at least one assist in each of his first three games.

With his four “A’s” in “YeAAAAh Cap!!”… “Cappy” is putting a defenseman (with defenseman points) back on top of the defenseman leaderboard.

Next up; Tommy Guns and AJ Larabee… will the streak extend to 4-games?

League Violation

No, our Dave Giusti did not pass away last week… we confirmed it was the major league pitcher from the Pittsburgh Pirates and not our beloved Over-30 League goalie.

Dave was alive and well as he played 30-minutes without letting up a goal to be the second goalie on the shutout board… that’s the good news.

The bad news is… Dave is facing a fine from the Over-30 League for defacing league property through non-sanctioned modifications to his jersey.

Not since Sergio Costa’s cutting of the sleeves has the league seen such an egregious violation.  The Board of Directors is holding a special meeting to decide it they want smoked ribs or pulled pork as a fine for the Goaltender/Pitmaster.

Wake Up Call

The players on Capo-Zero had their first wakeup call of the season last week.  After getting blown out 7-1 and to the point where their goalie was the one to call their only time out. 

This week they got back to work with their second win of the season with Jon Brown showing his new team what he can bring to the scoring table. We say “new” team because Jon sat out all last season waiting for his signing bonus check to clear his bank account.

Jon had a nice solid performance last week with bookends scoring. Not only did he score the first goal of the game at 8:13 in the first period… but it was over by 7:04 in the second period for The Revolution, as Jon had the GWG to hand them their 3^rd straight loss.

Like Father, Like Son?

Giving his father Dan Poirier Sr an 8-goal lead (from last season), Scott Daniliuk started his Over-30 career with goal #1 during Week #3 and their 6-3 loss.

But don’t look for Scott’s goal on his stats (the league is fixing a calculating error) as both father and son have errors with their stats.

Last season Dan joined The Revolution late in the season and was on fire… this season he’s been a bucket of ice water.  We’re looking to see the Father & Son duo spark a team that desperately needs help scoring goals.

Capo-One?

Angelo De Luca started the 2025 Spring Season with one mission… be the first team to get a name change (mid-season) from Capo-Zero to “Capo-One”. 

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen for the longest standing captain without a championship… but Angelo is not just going to lie down and wait for the 2026-2027 Season, he’s cracked the top-3 in scoring and now he’s waiting for his paisano Gino Tammaro to join him and take a run at the Mike Duggan & Patrick Spencer scoring combination.

Remember Angelo and Gino… Ricky Cassano is going to be a made man (again) in his new brown jacket that will be given out today.  Time to step up and “Win one for the Gipper”

Got Their Numbers

Sean Roach and the rest of the Poo Bears have got the important numbers of Tommy Guns… 19, 91, 92… All the “Gun numbers with a 9 in it” … or as Sean likes to say in German “NEIN!!” 

The Tommy Guns high-powered offense is no match for Sean, and his defense in front of him… as the Tommy Guns are 1-4 in the regular season and 0-1 in the playoffs (The Finals to be exact).

The former odds-on favorite to beat the Poo Bears and keeping them from becoming back-to-back champions maybe shifting from Tommy Guns to the new revamped Cam-A-Lot.

1.2 GFA

Absent in Week #1 with the flu… Scored a hat trick in Week #2… and nothing but a lonely assist in Week #3 against one of his goalie nemesis Sean Roach.

Mike “Poopsie” Duggan has 3-goals in 3-games for a 1.0 GFA.  Needing 18-goals in 15-games he needs to maintain a 1.2 GFA to beat his challenge.

Now if you want in on the action… Mike Naczas has been placing $20 bets all around town that his former “Team Perfection” teammate and golfing buddy is going to “FAIL”.

Shorty’s

Once again… we don’t have any historical data to back up our next highlight… but when was the last time two teams each had a shorthanded goal in the same game?

In a game that had 4-power play goals (6-minutes) of the man advantage that doesn’t produce a single PPG… but instead two SHG’s thanks to Patrick Spencer and Todd Bryson.

The league extended the 1-minute penalty to 1.5-minutes to increase powerplay goals… not shorthanded goals.  We guess now the goalie for the team that’s on the power play can’t sit back and watch anymore, they need to be ready for a shorthanded attack.

The league is looking at a new prospect today.  A highly recommended defenseman from the Wednesday night Hockeytown league.

If this guy lives up to his expected potential (and sources say he will)… we don’t want six captains texting and sending emails requesting that he be added to their roster. 

This player is unable to commit weekly (right now) with work scheduling conflicts, but he’s agreed to be a fill-in (as needed) and when available.
