The NAHL has decided to cancel the ALL Star Game this year in order to make room in the schedule for the Black Ice Pond Hockey Championship at the end of January. It has come to the attention of many that Blue and Green has dominated fan balloting and members of the other clubs have called it "unfair". So, the NAHL President Dick Hurtz has decided that since the league's involvement with the Black Ice Championships, they believe it is in the best interest of everyone that they not break for the All Star game. Fans were still able to vote for the first and second team All Stars and not surprisingly, all but one player is from Blue or Green. The first team is: Clint "Eastwood" Casavaugh, Tom "Painch" Painchaud, Dave "Greasy" Palisi, Todd "Philby" Philbrick, Greg "Hernia" Fournier, Red "Whitey" Adams (Red) and Kenny "Rebel Without a Vote" Dean. The second team is Brian "Tilly" Tillotson, Dunc "Coach" Walsh, Any "BTO" Bachmann, Dan "Too Late" Early, Jim "Heathy" Heath, Tom "Harry" Harrison. Each of the players selected will recieve a pint of Black Ice Ale at the Barley House on January 3rd. For being the top vote getter, Red Adams is going to Disney World.
Santa Claus will be at the game between Blue and Green on Thursday Night. He is there to join the NAHL in it's charity work for "Hockey Fights Obesity". The first two hundred fans to arrive will get the opportunity to do a lap dance on Ol' Saint Nick.
