OPENING NIGHT '11-'12

With all the pomp and circumstance of Bingo Night @ Briarcliff Feild House the Springfield Rink hosted the TNHL for the first time in 21 months. The place looked great, the ice was as white as the frothy head of an ice cold beer, bright new lights took away old excuses and the USSR is back in business at least in Springfield. At first glance you might have thought you were at a Rolling Stones show with a huge condom hanging above our heads and the last time their was this much talk about a roof Stew, Phil and Allen found Dougie and his mattress on top of Ceasars Palace, but finally we were back!
The game got up to speed quickly as the boy's were eager to get into the season, & the White squad skated away with the victory after a strong performance. But this was not about the game as much as it was about getting the old band back together, I think everyone enjoied that. It was great to see Curty looking as fit as ever and it was only fitting that he should open the scoring. I thought the rink cleaned up really well especially off to my right where some young ladies watched the game I know this because they caught me looking over ther a few times, I will now refer to this area as Clevage Corner. All I know is its great to be back home at the old barn and Im looking forward to the rest of the season & writing the updates instead of wasting time trying to write my book 'The Edge of Wetness' ... A love story.
