Black Ice Features Stars of Thursday Night!

The 1883 Black Ice Pond Hockey Championships got a shot in the arm when it was announced that The Thursday Night Hockey League (the premier league in the Capitol City) was going to shut down for a week in order to let it's players compete in next weekend's tournament at White's Park. League officials came to terms with Black Ice organizers around mid night last night to secure a deal which will include at least two nationally televised games. "Fans want to see the best, so we're going to give them the best", said tournament organizer Chris "Brownie" Brown. Many of the league's top players from Green and Blue will be competing as well as a few from Red and Yellow. "It's a wonderful thing to see such highly skilled players on the biggest stage in the world", said Phil "Commish" Stuart who will be coaching Cheers Chiefs 50+. "There certainly will be some intriquing match ups slated for next weekend ,espcially between those teams that carry Thursday Nighters on their rosters", said Jack Edwards of NESN. "I am honored to have my teeth featured in the event", he added. Hopefully, Jack's teeth will be rattling off the half wall! Stay tuned to The Pucking Files all week long. Some of the featured games and line ups will be announced as well as the picks by Jimmy the Geek.
