8 Father-Son Combinations!

Romeoville, IL 11/26/09     Big Turn Out, Lots of Fun and Great Food!
Attendance 30                 

30 players gave us the biggest turn out since May 8, 2009 when 31 Duffers showed up for the end of season Picture Day.  The following Duffers had their sons join in the holiday fun and provided 9 of the 13 goals: Anvil, Art. Beak, Beer Nuts, The Bookie, Brinks, Frank and T&A.  We had one Husband -Wife pair that provided us with a great Team Picture and some great food. 
The Reds gave the Anvil something to be thankful for when they beat the Brain 8 times.  Rich Storm lead the way with 2 goals.  (One was tipped past

3 goals for the Lopatkas

the Brain by Koss when he demonstrated that he could do more things than a cone.)  Beak found himself in front of the Brain while his son Ken was cranking a slap shot that whizzed past his titanium hip and into the net.  Ever since 1979 in Florida when Ken cracked his Dad's protective cup with a slap shot, Beak usually heads to the corner when Ken winds up his shot.  Beak scored his first goal of the season on his next shift, when Dave the Former goalie hit his stick with a knee high slap shot that deflected into the top shelf.  Mini Wheezer, Nick, Dave and Tommy Z added goals  to give the Reds a rare 8-5 win.  Frank got his first goal of the season too. When he fired one through a crowd that was milling around in front of the Anvil.  Thor, Donny G, Tweedy and Stump provided the other goals for the Whites.

Thanksgiving Team Picture
The Team picture came out better than most, thanks to the steady hands of Janine Oskroba.  We almost looked organized, with all of the Reds on the right and almost all of the Whites on the left.  (Beak shouted the following instructions: "Whites in back, Reds in front")

Thank You!

Terry was named MVP!

Thanksgiving  Team Picture was almost perfect.
