Heavy rains and warm temperatures may have put Black Ice Pond Hockey on hold but that hasn't stopped the rest of weekend's festivities nor dampened the spirits of the Black Ice Nation. With three thousand barrels of Black Ice Ale in town everyone will get their fill this weekend. Let's hope they don't drink it all before Feb 10th. The party begins tonight at 5pm at Cheers. It could turn into a moveable feast because no one bar should have ALL the fun. Actually, the weekend started at the stroke of midnight following the Thursday Night showdown between first place Blue and second place Green. Another sold out crowd at The Doug was treated to a gem. Green prevailed and has now moved into a tie with rival Blue for first place. Yellow and Red both lost in the earlier games and it's beginning to look like Blue and Green will be meeting in the finals for the third consecutive year. Green had the lead early, but Blue came back to tie the game. In the end however, Green pulled away with a 7 to 5 victory. Joe "Joe" Farrelly was given the first star in a losing effort. He logged more ice time than any other player despite showing up with only ten minutes left in the game. Dave Maznick was a healthy scratch.
Not everyone received the word about the Black Ice Pond Hockey postponement. The "So Sick Swamp Rats" took the ice this morning for warm ups, but the team had to be pulled from White's Park pond by city workers. Fresh off their Academy Award Nomination for "Best Picture", The Swamp Rats were in Hollywood this week and not taking phone calls and apparently not even checking emails. The team was taken to Concord Hospital where they were treated for hypothermia.
