.....and in other news, the Goaldiggers won the SHC championship
It usually takes quite a bit before Goaldigger captain Keith Mitchell will break into a smile, but winning the championship of the beerest hockey league in Asia was enough.
The Goaldigger Family after winning an exciting final. Kevin Davidsen potted the winning goal in the shootout to take the trophy for the SHC 1st year team. His wife who was in attendance, was impressed.... finally.
The Puxi Checkers dominated the league all season long and through the playoffs, but when the money was on the line in the final, they couldn't get the job done. Captain Ryan Burke denies the rampant rumours that the Checker's suffered from a small logo complex which contributed to their premature exit in the championship game. Burke was sounding defensive, proclaiming 'just because the Goaldiggers have a big honkin logo, doesn't mean they're better. In fact we are still going through all the league rules to find the real reason for this loss.'
The skills competition was a big hit. Winners were
Hardest Shot: BSL's John Freiermuth
Fastest Skater: Shanghailanders Kevin Yu
Most accurate shot: GD's Keith Mitchell
A little known fact is that John Freiermuth has paid his league fees every year from advertising revenue generated from his hockey pants. After winning the hardest shot competition with a 77mph slapper his handlers are hinting rates will go way up for next year. For you Euros who insist on that silly metric system, 77mph is like 360 kilo pascals according to our smartest American - Brian Ohlrich
Puck drops, the ice cracks heartbreak, elation, Super Shin and a split
Which ways the hard bar?
Would've been a traffic cop but for that no beer rule they have
Matt Lickwar hasn’t had this much fun since he was put in charge of company layoffs back at the button factory in Winooski.
Shanghailander Kevin Yu won the fastest skating / teen idol competition....
...over runner up Justen Theissen of the BSL. According to Theissen, 'I had to borrow Von Meister's hair gel. Big mistake - it really slowed me down and made me look a little too grungy which cost me style points. The judges were definitely leaning hipster today'.
We need to end this one off with another picture of Goaldigger captain Keith Mitchell. As well as being a ridiculously good shot and a great captain, it is a poorly kept secret that the entire Expo team has a man crush on Keith . Whats not to like? Congratulations to Keith and all the Goaldiggers!
