Shootout: LBS wins, 2-0. Successful attempts by Karsten Pichon and Sam Anthony.
Game Notes: Mexican Standoff rallied from a 4-0 deficit and scored twice in the final five minutes of regulation to force overtime. Despite showing up to support her team (in Mexican Standoff’s colors), LBS captain Sascha Puritz did not play due to an apparent “ankle injury”. She looks fine to us.

Thank You

I wanted to thank everyone who played in or donated to the third annual American Cancer Society Street Hockey Tournament on April 19th. I especially wanted to thank everyone who helped pull off this event – there are too many to mention. It was 6 teams, 80+ players and a lot of hockey.

We raised over $3,200 this year and our three year cumulative total is just shy of $10,000. With company matching, I’m sure we’ve raised even more. Stay tuned for next year’s tournament, and I hope to see you there.

The Unicorns Are Limbering Up For Their Big Game

GAME OF THE WEEK
Dark Rainbows (7-2) vs. Unicorns (4-5)
Location: Moffo, 4:00 PM
All-Time Series: Dark Rainbows lead 4-2
Game Notes: This game represents the second leg in the battle for the prestigious Fairy Tale Cup. In the first leg, the Dark Rainbows soundly defeated the Happy Little Elves 4-0. Thus, with the Rainbows currently in possession of the (imaginary) trophy, they only need a tie to keep it. However, this will be no easy task, as the Rainbows’ star goalie, Trevor “White Jesus” Tyrrell is still sidelined with a shoulder injury. In addition, the Unicorns are coming off of one of their best efforts of the season, a 6-1 defeat of the Bad Touch. Although the Unicorns are hovering around a .500 record, a win over the defending league champions could prove that they are for real.
Keys to the Game:
1. The Dark Rainbows have used two different backup goalies thus far: Sean Reynolds and John Nielsen. Depending on whom they choose, they will lose either one of the league’s top defenders in Reynolds or top scorers in Nielsen.
2. Although the Unicorns boast an extremely balanced scoring attack, Nelson currently leads the team with six goals, which includes a hat trick last week.
3. An unconfirmed source is reporting that Unicorns goalie Craig “Ug” LaCombe’s herpes has flared up again. Whether this clears up by Sunday’s game and how much it will affect his play remain to be seen.
Eli’s Pick: Dark Rainbows. The cup stays with them for another year.
Derek’s Pick: Unicorns. Another week without White Jesus is too much for the Rainbows to overcome.

Dutch’s Parents Are Avid Readers of BTSH.org

Analytics

A Brief Glimpse At BTSH.org
As a thank you to you, the loyal reader, we, the writers, thought we’d give you a snapshot of who’s going to btsh.org and how they are getting there. Here are some interesting trends we have noticed, taken directly from Google Analytics.

1. While the largest volume of site traffic comes from the United States (no surprise there), the second-ranked country is not Canada…it’s France. This can most likely be attributed to the Tuques’ iconic status in Marseilles. On a side note, one person has visited the site from Turkey, but he stayed on the site for thirteen minutes.

2. Although New York and New Jersey represent the bulk of U.S. based site traffic (again, no shocker there), the third highest state is not in the Northeast. Rather, it is the great state of Wisconsin. Without a doubt, this can only be the result of Dutch’s legions of fans back home monitoring his play. Plus, one or two of them might be looking for Dutch’s Brother. On the opposite end of the spectrum, no one from Alabama has visited.

3. The top keywords that have brought people to the BTSH site are as follows: “btsh”, “btsh.org”, “ant ventolieri”, and “street hockey”. Yes, more people come to the site looking for Ant than they do for street hockey. One can only assume that Ant is forcing his Foot Locker interns to repeatedly google his name and then go to all sites that find it. Oh yeah, and the number five keyword? You guessed it: “ellery gillette”.

4. Another interesting keyword we discovered was “beverly hills jeff lesser”. Although it is probable that whoever searched for that term did not find exactly what he wanted, this has provided the media with a new nickname. Jeff Lesser will now be known as “Hollywood”.

5. Several people have also visited the site searching “ken georgine paulin”. No, Ken “The Alpha Male” Poulin and Georgine ”Mulva” Paulin are not related. In fact, they spell and pronounce their last names differently, as seen in the previous sentence.
