Captain's Log: Lost at Sea

Officials fear the worst for Thursday Night Hockey (no, they're not joining the capitol city league). The luxury liner "The Duke of Lancaster" that was carrying teams Green and Blue across the Atlantic bound for Denmark is now reported missing by the US Coastguard. The ship encountered a tropical storm about a thousand miles off the coast of the United States. The ship sent reports of waves has high as seventy feet that were slamming into the ship and breaching over the upper deck. The last contact with the ship came about 4:30 p.m on sunday showing this photo of a monster wave engulfing the ship. This was followed by a May-Day call for help. That was the last contact with the ship. Officials have dispatched an international search and rescue mission to look for "the Duke" and it's crew and passengers. It is reported that a rescue helicopter picked up three survivors floating on debris in the wee hours of the morning.

The names of the three were released only as "Heathy" and "the Cummy Brothers". They claim that the ship capsized and sank and passengers and crew members were scrambling to try to get to life rafts but that the high winds and huge waves were making it impossible to make any sense of wether others survived or not. The three were air lifted and rushed to a hospital unit on the US Navy vessel "The Raging Queen". The trio are being treated for hypothermia and gout.
Officials have tried frantically to pick up any electronic signal transmissions that might help locate any other survivors. About two hours ago the Coast Guard received the following transmission which has left them puzzled and they have called officials from the NAHL to help decipher this cryptic message. It reads as follows: "Looking to put "the fun" back into your game? stop; NEC Arena Henniker December 3 & 4th: stop; "Indoor" pond hockey tournament: stop; three on three round robin with six player max per team: stop, $375. per team: stop; contact john@lineberrytennis.com: stop; Catered lunch: stop
One official thinks that perhaps panic has something to do with the nature of the message. "Obviously when you see the word "indoor" associated with "pond hockey" you are concerned", said Ivan Gerkinov of the International Rescue Department.
