After once again soundly defeating the red-shirted Wyse Guys this past week, this time by a score of 10-4, the Aces crew appear to be solidly behind the move to contract the league.
Red, But Not White or Blue
Team pastry chef and 3-goal scorer Andrew T. explains: "This year we seem to be able to beat only the red team, so we're petitioning the league fathers to eliminate the other two teams. Pretty simple, really."
"This will only work, mind you, if players from the Battlers and Warriors squads are not permitted to join the Wyse Guys" said team lead guitarist and single goal getter Bob J. "That would defeat the whole purpose of this thing, which is to increase our chances of winning the championship this year."
"If our request is turned down" said team apiarist and 4-goal scorer Ralph R "then we have a backup plan. We've already filled out the forms for joining the new Rob Ford Memorial Ringette League for Overweight Women out in Etobicoke. I hear it's not very competitive, so we should be fine."
Other team members appeared non-committal, however. Single goal scorers Rich W and Paul F are both in favour of a 'wait and see' approach. "I think we should hold off for now" said team cryptologist Paul F "and see if we can carry this momentum into the Christmas shinny game next week. I think we may have turned a corner here." Rich W agreed, saying he also favoured the cautious approach. "Let's see how well we do in this meaningless game of pond hockey first. I've got a good feeling about this one."
