Game Change...

Our Sunday game has been changed. We now play at 8:30 p.m. vs. Hackers - Everett, Main Ice.
Now the Monkeys don't have much history with the Hackers as I do. We do have some connections. A former Monkey is on the Hackers, but he played with them from the beginning, since we were in seperate divisions. I have a little more history with the Hackers based on the fact that the team started from my learn to skate team ( formerly known as Rennys Rats ). It was a team I was originally asked to play for but the price was too high for me. Then shortly after I was asked to play on the Black Katz for a lower fee, apparently the team was sponsored. The Black Katz later took some of the Hackers players & that created a rivalry. It was a heated rivalry that included some fairly high scoring games. Especially during my second session with the Black Katz, when the Hackers had two amazing players that dominated our division. It proved that two guys could carry a team to wins, but that theory fizzled during the playoffs. The constant bitching & whining between the two teams created some bad blood. Through it all I remained friends with one player & eventually he came to play with the Monkeys once the team was created. He also remained with the Hackers & after our first session he went back. I don't blame him, the cost of playing for two teams is too much ( unless you've got some nice coin ) & loyalty to the first team that you played for is a good thing to have. So I wasn't mad when decided to not come back. There... a little history to make this short post... longer. GO MONKEYS!!
