GAME ON
Fellow Moesians, we begin play this Sunday at 3:30 p.m. A reminder: this is the puck league. I know Marty loves the ball, but that's the way it worked out this season. We also have a new location: St. John Berchmann's Church, 2517 W. Logan Blvd. As you can intuit from the address, this is in Logan Square, where Tom Michael resides and the Dynamo LS! soccer team has its headquarters.

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE
I know we must be one of the favorites to win it all this year, given our performance last year, but let's not get too overconfident. After all, Marty loved the ball. He only tolerates the puck.

ROSTER
Everyone returns except Tracy Jake Siska, who is laid up with back problems. Our new goalie: Jimmy "The Kid" Greenfield! The last time we saw Jimmy in goal he really took one for the team, and he hasn't dated since. Let's pitch in and buy him a cup.

We have two SuperSubs. A friend of Crash Brown's will be our backup goaltender. And though we retired his jersey, Tom will be invited back on keychain night and other promotional dates.

MONEY
You all owe me fitty Bens. That's fifty bucks for the suburbanites on the squad. (SuperSubs need not pay; they serve at our discretion)

MOE'S GOES DIGITAL
Moe's Tavern has a website! Thanks to one of our digerati, you can now go to Moe's at www.s2f.com/cate/moes. Actually, we haven't posted anything yet, but we will post a schedule, roster, and detailed personal information about team members designed to embarrass and humiliate.

COLORS
Once again, we are blue. Which really means dark. But bring white anyway. Just in case.

INSPIRATION
A blast from the past: www.infomagic.com/~martince/wlhockey.htm

VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT
Some of you have already told me you won't make the first game. Please tell me again, as I am just now focusing on the coming weekend.

More information as we get it.

Moe's is an equal opportunity employer, blah blah blah.
