| Team Owner: |
Captain Highliner |
| General Manager: |
Alan MacDonald [email protected] |
| Head Coach: |
Alan MacDonald (until further notice) - known for his well-publicized drinking problems. |
| Captain: |
Jaromir Jagr |
| Arena: |
The Great Atlantic Seadome (capacity - 17,000) - a floating structure in the middle of Halifax harbour, accessible only by ferry or row-boat. Voted the worst place to play in the IHL, three years running, by both home AND visiting teams, owing to the fact that rough seas can make games a nausea-inducing experience. |
| Mascot: |
Larry the Lobster - a large, plush crustacean who throws
fishsticks into the crowd during stoppages in play. |
| Team Motto: |
"Fight for every goal - literally" |
| Rivalries: |
The Cougars and their milk-swilling GM, Paul Mendella.
The Knights and their total-lack-of-reality-gene-carrying GM, Jean Drouin.
The Crapitals and their slovenly, PSTD suffering GM, Steve Trostle.
I'd also say cross-town opponents, the Harleys, and their pooch-lovin'
GM Fernando Larrea, but to be a real rival they have to actually *beat*
the Riptide one of these years ;-) |
| Team Controversies: |
Other than the fact that no one is willing to shower
at the same time as Bure, most controversies ended when MacDonald traded most of the old team away at the start of this season. |
