Participants - Patrick, Maciej, Taylor, Jordan, James, Peter, Matthew C., Cole and Jacob.
Offensive Player of the Game - Peter; lethal lookin' blast.
Defensive Player of the Game - Peter; a clean sweep.
Best Goalkeeper - James over Matthew C. Had a shutout going for a good 40 minutes, stopping the angry Italian and his proteges.
Notable Absentees - Tommy, Robbie, Alex, Josh, Neil, Ezra.
Best Shotblock/Save - Matthew C. fighting off a quick Maciej wrister, flipping out a quick blocker to deny a topshelf screamer. Impressive, considering he was screened by three players and saw it at the last possible second.
Best Goal - Peter, shoveling a topshelf backhand from seemingly an impossible position.
Best Deke - Peter, going wide and then cutting inside on noob Cole.
Best Pass - Maciej, behind the back to a streakin' Jake. The Polish prowler ended up firing a shot horribly wide, but the pass was class.
Biggest 'Robbie' - Maciej, after manoevring past 2 players and outwaiting a sprawling Matt, fired over the crossbar. Ew dot net.
Biggest 'Jacob' - Pat, trying to recover someone else's clearance and knocking it out himself.
Best Fashion Sense - Taylor; gap has good clothes.
Worst Fashion Sense - Jacob; no explanation needed. For serious.
The James Moment - Jacob's 'triumphant' return. After starting off slow, Jacob started to hack and talk trash like the vet that he is. Hacked everyone's shins, with Jordan feeling nahsing due to well-placed pads. Nonetheless, Jacob did manage to snap a blade on his return, making it 8 broken sticks/blades. A legend.
Convo of the Day -
Peter - Jacob with the move (after Jacob stickhandles past two guys)
Maciej - Oh he has moves. But whether or not he has a backhand or forehand is the question.
Jacob - Hey!
Maciej - Fine. We'll call it a borehand.
Notable Watchers - Kids with parents, two gangsters, Sean K.'s brother, dad with kid and hockey stick but not in the rink, people on playground, janitor.
