Red Army Scrimmages, Loses a Player, Gets a Goalie (UPDATED)

Red Army dominated their scrimmage vs the Mad Dads last night, putting on a puck possession clinic. While the Mad Dads are a much improved team, the revamped Red Army lineup easily disposed of the futile fathers.

Much heralded draft pick Pat King has opted out of his contract to play one more season with the Trailside Tigers and will not play for Mother Russia this season. It is likely that he will see one or two games with the big club when the roster has holes in it.

The Red Army signed a free agent goal tender this week. The name of the goalie has not been released yet, but his presence answers the goalie vacancy.

With one roster spot remaining, the Red Army is hoping that Pete Collis joins up with the team. Pete played with Peter, Mark, and Brad in a tournament this weekend. When asked about the tournament, Mark provided this gem: "We had three offensemen, me, Peter, and Pete. Peter and Pete are true centers and always look to pass, and I'm always looking to shoot. It was heaven as far as I'm concerned. As soon as my shot went wide it was back on my stick again."

LEAGUE NOTES: the perverted step child that is Red Army's, has registered their team as "Redder Army". NBC has already released a statement saying that anytime these two teams meet the game will be televised nationally. When asked if he was nervous about playing against his old rival, Andy Schram moaned "Ahh I'm soooo full of chocolate. But I suppose I can have one more nestle bar... ohhh but I shouldn't... when in rome!" Schram was hospitalized shortly after for blowing a 34.2 BCC (blood chocolate concentration) which was 24.2 above the legal amount, or roughly 12,000 hershey kisses too many.
