New Haven continued it?s struggle for a winning record Thursday night at the Stars End Aerodome but again fell short to the Stars End Spacers 5-2.

Even with their scoring issues the Nian?s have captured the hearts of many of the Rhy Din Hockey League?s fans. Perhaps it?s the patented ?Loveable Loser? persona the team seems to have or maybe everyone is just hoping they win and that as a fan they were there, able to see it. Who knows? There were more Nian?s jersey?s there than Spacers though.

The game really was dominated by the Spacers with the first goal of the game going to Stars End center John Goffredo. That goal was the only one of the first period and as the seconds ticked town the crowd became restless not only because of the lack of goals but because of the high pitched screaming that was coming from scattered groups of women who were chanting ?John JOHN JOHN? over and over again as they waited for the sexy Zamboni Driver to finally hit the ice.

As the end of the period horn blew almost every woman (and certainly every single woman) stood up, some with signs, some with with targets painted on their shirts. The first period break tradition of Sexy John throwing tee shirts continued, with more than one lady acting very un lady like and many punches thrown. I wonder if the blood makes the tee shirts worth more as a battle prize?

The second period was also dominated by the Spacers with goals from Lovable London, Russ ?My Aim is True? Archer, and a second of the night for Goffredo. It was at this point that you could feel the crowd shift allegiance to the Nians as fan favorites Riley O?Rourke and David Lo (Who will be missing far too many games when they get married and go on their honeymoon next week) struggled with a team that is having some obvious chemistry problems. Perhaps they should vote Riley Smiley and the Lo Main Man as co Captains?

I have no idea what was said in the locker room during that second break but the Nians came out with a fire lit under their, very well padded behinds. Even the defensemen were getting involved when Alex Hager scored for New Haven. Riley scored less than a minute later, causing the crowd to go wild.

A Nian?s come back was not to be though as London scored again for the Spacers, making the final score Spacers 5, Nians 2.

Even though New Haven lost that meet up it was good to see them come together in the third period and not give up. Here?s hoping the team can keep that spirit for their next game against the Rhy Din Dragons on Friday.

It was another overtime thriller at the Stars End Aerodome on Friday night as the Stars End Spacers beat the WestEnd Wargs 5-4.

The Aerodome was packed, the fans were loud, and everyone was ready to watch what turned out to be a gritty hockey game between two determined, well matched teams.

Rockin Russ Archer struck first, his aim true and the arrow that was the puck smashing past WestEnd goalie Anthony Lucklow. The hometown fans went crazy, jumping and screaming. Even for Rhy Dinian?s they were hyped up and there wasn?t going to be any calming down.

Even though Archer?s goal was the only one of the first period, as the minutes and then seconds ticked down the mood in the Aerodome was becoming more and more tense and excited as everyone waited to see what Sexy John Benandanti had up his sleeve (though most of the women were really hoping he wouldn?t have any sleeves at all).

They were not disappointed as dramatic music started and the Zamboni slowly slid onto the ice. As soon as JB was visible the fans lost it, screaming, yelling, a few even throwing things and triggering the automatic detainment system that the Aerodome has. Even within the containment bubbles the women looked orgasmicly happy and content. So what did Sexy JB do? He made it snow inside the arena. The Zamboni was equipped so that the shaved ice was stored in a container at the back of it then as Jon did one final sweep along the boards, pulling out his infamous ?Rose Cannon? and shooting roses at the swooning ladies, the Zamboni shot snow out the back of it and into the crowd. Roses and snow, the man does have a sense of romance and a flair for the dramatic doens?t he?

The second period saw the Wargs take control of the game and scoring three goals in a row. Cian Granger set the already warmed up ladies wild by scoring a goal and then taking a victory lap blowing kisses and singling out one lady to receive the puck, which he artfully tossed over and into her lap. That man is quickly building a fan club of his own and from what i saw it includes men, women, dwarves, elves, even a few of the Spacers fans were looking at him in adoration.

Not to be left out Quinn Benoit scored next and we were able to see how some of the male fans cheer for their female favorites. They don?t swoon or throw underwear like the women do, they instead pound their chest and attempt to show Ms. Benoit that they are worthy of her attention, hooting, hollering, and hitting the glass as much as possible. Too bad none of them are even close to being good enough. I wonder if they understand that if Quinn chose one of them she?d be slumming it?

Even though none of the men were good enough for her Quinn snatched their attention yet again by scoring a second goal. Taking a cue from Granger she took a victory lap of her own, causing the noise level in the Aerodome to rise to almost JB level.

The fact that all three goals were scored in the first four minutes of play also had the WestEnd fans losing their minds. If the detainment system hadn?t already been employed and the fans seen how quickly it worked I think a riot would have started.

Stars End, seeing the mayhem that was going on decided to cause a little insanity of their own when first Jesse Felton and then Arrow Man Rus Archer scored, again tying the game up at 3 apiece.

The second period break was almost disappointing as the only thing JohnBoy threw were kisses. Even those almost caused a riot as two women started trading punches when one said a kiss was intended for her and the other said it wasn?t. Yet again the detainment system was implemented and the women were removed before they could do further harm to themselves or anyone else.

The third period was a defensive stand off and only two goals were scored, Mystriana DeSabre scored first for the Wargs, completing the offensive hat trick that is DeSabre, Quinn, and Granger. The league should watch out for these three they work as a single unit, powering forward and taking no prisoners in their quest for goals. The second goal was scored by Spacer, London AKA the ?Quiet One?, we don?t know much about this man but his calm, determined attitude intrigues us, if anyone knows anything about Mr. London, please feel free to let us know.

The third period ended with the scored tied at 4 all. A special defensive bubble was implemented over the ice when JohnBoy drove the zamboni onto it so that no one could throw him any special souvenirs or themselves at him as he quickly cleared the ice.

It took 24 seconds for Archer to score, it was almost too quick considering the shoot outs and other overtime games that went on last weekend but still satisfying for the Spacers Fans. Final score was 5-4 spacers in OT.

New Haven showed off the team they might become on Saturday night, dominating the first period and a half of play against the Stars End Spacers.

Riley O'Rouke struck first, shocking Spacers goalie Kevin Druce with her grace and speed. The crowd went wild, happy to see the Nians score first and actually have the lead. A second goal by New Haven defenseman Ales Hager brought the crowd to it?s feet and the Nian?s bench to their skates.

Unfortunately it was the high point of the game for the Nians as Loveable London scored for the Spacers at the end of the first, swinging momentum in their direction.

There was a very large disturbance at the first period break as the women who had come to the Aerodome to superficially see Beautiful John Benandanti were shocked to find out he wasn?t there. Apparently he had something else to do that day. There was much sobbing, wailing, and determination to find out where he was and if he was ok.

KC Timmons started what was going to be a defensive scoring frenzy that would last the entire day and across all three games, tying the two teams up at 2 goals a piece. That goal was the only one for the entire period and the fans were shown what true defensive hockey is as the two teams battled it out.

The third period was completely dominated by the Spacers with goals from Russ ARcher and then another one by London, it looks like these two are the perfect couple on the ice. The final score was Spacers 4, Nians 2.

While this game might seem slow on paper it was a testament to what two battling teams who both want to win and be the best can do. Nian?s goal tender David Lo faced 45 shots and only allowed 4 through and while he lost the game he all but stood on his head to try to keep the pucks out of the net. It was exciting and true hockey fans rejoiced at not only the play but the improvement the Nians have shown.

In yet another upset the Dockside Djinni put the smack down on the Marketplace Monocerus, gutting and beheadding Cor ?Sparklefish?.

Boreas Aquilon yet again showed he?s more than just a strong arm and a pretty face by scoring the first goal of the night. Leave it to the Dockside team to make a strong statement early, they were here to play and they werne?t going to give Marketplace any of the respect theyv?e demanded from other teams.

Xenia wasn?t going to let her team go down without a fight though, scoring eight seconds after Aquilon and making sure to skate down the Djinni bench smiling, waving, and blowing kisses at the players seated there.

Amazingly those were the only two goals scored in the first period as Sinfully Awesome Sparklefish and Richard ?Stop em and Knock em? Sillery battled it out, Sillery faced 19 shots that period, while Sparklefish only saw 10.

Since the game was played at the Aerodome you all know what?s coming next. The screaming and swooning for Dr. John Benandanti, Sex God of Zamboni?s. There were no less than 7 marriage proposals ?flown? down to the man through various methods. One of the proposals was stopped by a security bubble as it careened out of control and almost blew up in part of the stands. If the bubble hadnt? gotten it there would have been mass casualites.

As the mob of single females were corralled and contained the second period started. If there was a title of the second period it would be ?Dominated by Eurus Vulturnus? as she scored the only goals of the period, recording a natural hat trick and leading her team to a 4-1 score. The Djinni were dancing on air, realizing that they were in control and this was a game they could either win or lose.

After the insanity of the first period break there was an announcement stating that if anyone threw anything on to the ice while Dr. Benandanti was driving the Zamboni they would be ejected and banned from the Aerodome. Amazingly this announcement worked as the women were all too scared to risk banishment from their dream boy.

Zephyr Favonius rode the momentum of Vulturnus?s monumental second period and scored for Dockside in the third, making the score 5-1. The entire Djinni bench jumped up and started yelling ?Sparkle FLOP? down the ice at the not so Sparkly one. Soon every Dockside fan was shouting the same thing. This might become the new catcall of those who dislike the Marketplace team.

The third period wasn?t a total los for the Monocerus team as defenseman Theodore scored, setting the final score at Djinni - 5 and Monocerus - 2.

It should come as no surpries to anyone that the New Haven Nians fell to the Rhy Din Dragons 6-4 Thursday night at the Silver Mark Arena. That being said, yet again the Nians showed a lot of promise and heart while playing the Dominating Dragons, they not only won the respect and hearts of the fans but the Rhy Din squad as well.

Aaron Boyer scored first for the Nians, continuing what appears to be a tradition of hitting fast and hard, rising the hopes of the fans. Riley ?The Boston Brawler? O?Rouke was seen leaping into the air and all but tackling her fine piece of man meat (and soon to be husband) David Lo in the goal crease.

The ever unpredictible Ehzoterik was the next player to score, using what appeared to be a knuckle puck, slapshot, tornado hybrid that had the puck on it?s side, moving very quickly, and twisting in the air as it sped toward the LoMan. There was so much movement in the puck and it?s trajectory that there was no way he was ever going to be able to anticipate where it was headed or going. As this is the first time any of us have ever seen a shot like this we?re trying out new names for it. So far we have ?The Ehz Beheadz?, ?The Terik Tornado?, and ?Holy Poop Did You SEE That?? Please feel free to message us and let us know what you think the perfect name for this new shot is.

Boyer was determined to keep the Nians in the game, refusing to lay down and let the Dragons skate all over them, adapting the scoring strategy of many of the girls he skated toward the Dragons net, did a half twirl in front of it and shot the puck so quickly none of us saw it. It?s the first time we?ve seen a bigger player attempt this and I have to say it was impressive.

Princess Kate was up next skating backwards with the puck toward the goal, turning and sliding to the side so she could topshelf the rubber into the net. I?m sure you all can guess who she was playing ?Pass the Puck? with as she was moving up the ice, yes it was Faustino her ever present partner in crime. It appears as though the fans really want to see these two as a couple, especially since there have been rumors that the Princess is single again. There were many shouts from various women, demanding the Italian kiss the redheaded dynamo. Could these two be the next Riley and Lo?

Leland Fidler closed out the first period, scoring for New Haven with the help of Riley Smiley. As the teams left the ice the Nians were beating the Dragons 3-2. The joy on their faces was obvious and spread through the arena as fans started to speculate and place bets about the game and if New Haven could actually do it. Most of the fans were placing sentimental bets as they were putting money on New Haven, this team really has won the hearts of this jaded populace.

The most period break entertainment came from the new ?Chuck a Puck? promotion. Fans can buy a foam puck for a silver, each puck has a number written on it, during the first period break the pucks are thrown toward a large silver bowl at center ice, if a puck lands IN the bowl the owner of that puck gets half of the money collected. If no one gets a puck into the bowl the closest puck gets ? of the money collected and the opportunity to skate with their favorite team during a practice. The remaining money goes to charity, last nights lucky group? High Spires.

The promotion was a hit and pucks rained down from the stands, bouncing and rolling all over the ice. No one made it into the bowl but a lucky centuar named Brock Fastlark came closest and happily collected his money.

After the pucks were thrown all the children who had received the free kids jersey?s were allowed on the ice to clean up the pucks. It was as amusing as the throwing as this massive mob of children bounded onto the ice like puppies, laughing and sliding.

Once the ice was cleaned up and play resumed Kate again took control, scoring less than three minutes into the period, assisted by Ehz and Faustino. She scored again 7 minutes later, unassisted. It was at this point you really could sense the unease, the Dragons had started their domination and weren?t about to let go of the lead and while the Rhy Din fans were happy their team was winning, everyone in the arena felt bad for the Nians as you could see them wilt a little. Even the Princess seemed to look guilty after her second goal.

The second period ended with the score 4-3 Dragons.

During the second period break there was much discussion within the stands as to what the Nians would do during the last 20 minutes of play. Could they come back or where they already defeated? Hockey is as much a mental game as a physical one and the feeling has been that the good beginnings and the eventual loss has started to mess with the Nian?s head. They were only down by 1 though so there was so there was still some hope.

Kate dropped the first bomb less than four minutes into the third period, scoring her fourth goal of the game. The usual celebration didn?t happen though as even the Dragons were feeling bad for beating the Nians.

Ehz put the nail in the coffin, scoring next and bringing the score to 6-3 Dragons. The Nians refused to lay down and die though with Riley battling up the ice to score the final goal of the game, less than a minute before the final horn.

With the final score 6-4 Dragons the fans left the arena vowing to come to the next Nian?s game and debating when they would finally win

The earlier game scheduled at the Stars End Aerodome was suddenly and without explanation canceled on Thursday. When the fans of the Stars End Spacers and the WestEnd Wargs arrived to cheer on their team they were met with a sigh on the door announcing that the game wouldn?t be played.

Those who went to the box office were simply told that the Corporation that owns the RHL decided that the game would not be played and that tickets purchased would be applied to figure RHL games.

Calls to the team offices were answered but they weren?t giving away any information the statement by both teams was the same ?Parsons Offworld Organization has contacted us to inform us that today's game between the Wargs and the Spacers will not be played. We have not been told when or if the game will be rescheduled.?

Doing a bit of digging into Parsons finances and business dealings it was noticed that the company?s stock (RDSEX initials POO) has taken a significant drop with the recent recession.

Princess Kate was heard to be rather loudly talking to Parson?s board members on the phone a few nights ago and apparently left the meeting looking mad and determined. She hasn?t released a statement yet but rumor has it she?s been talking with some of the more wealthier citizens in the city about sponsoring or possibly buying a team in the future.

To be honest they were lucky that there wasn't a riot as the female fans who were hoping to see Dr. Love John Benandanti only to find out he wasn't there and they were out of luck. The fact that there wasn't any security to protect the unfortunate office workers who were at the arena and had to field the angry fans and women was beyond irresponsible.

Is there trouble in hockey paradise? I guess we will see.

The game that was originally set to be played at the Silver Mark Arena was the WestEnd Wargs and the Dockside Djinni, however that game was canceled and a major scheduling change was announced by the Corporation that owns and runs the RHL.

Princess Trouble Kate was again heard to be having an absolute fit about how badly things are being run and has apparently bought a suite of offices and a store front in the Marketplace, the day after they were bought there was a sticker on one of the office doors that proclaimed they belonged to the Rhy Din Home Town Operations Group. At the same time a website hit the net that stated it was time to take a serious look at the corporations that are running various business within the city yet are never seen or heard from. Corporations that state they want what?s best for the hard working people of Rhy Din yet pull out after a short period of time, leaving hundreds, sometimes thousands out of work. Along with the statement there is a video of the Princess herself, asking those everyday citizens to continue to support the RHL and stating that come hell or high water the current season will continue, there will be an ?Ultra exciting? playoff and the first ever ?RhyCup? will be won. She also said that there will be hockey within the city next year and that all the Termite, Children's, and other Seed leagues that were started to feed new players into the RHL will also continue.

There is a contact button at the bottom of the page for anyone interested in ?Discussing large monetary support? of the league.

A political manifesto spurred by the potential folding of a hockey league? Only in Rhy DIn.

It looks like even though Princess Kate played in the Saturday Night game, before Riley Smiley?s wedding, she was obviously distracted and that bled over into her normally well disciplined Dragons.

Many of the normal RHL players were either in or attending the wedding, those who chose to play weren?t wasting any time, play was crisp, quick, and tight, with very few icing calls. Unfortunately the teams appeared to want to kill each other and the penalties piled up.

The Spacers took control early on with goals from Russel Archer and Chris Holmes. These were the only two goals scored in the first period. The penalties however were across the board, it all started with Russ Archer high sticking Faustino, Archer was called for the penalty and normally the game would just go on. Faustino and Kazzy Hart apparently took offence at the high stick, with Kazzy cross checking Archer into the boards and Faustino holding him there and refusing to let him up after. Both were called for the penalties and it was this that opened up the door for the first Spacers Goal. London then got his own revenge, slashing Kazzy, he was smiling as he spent his two minutes in the box, waving to the cheering Spacers fans. The Princess herself was tossed in the box next when she hooked London, dragging him to the ice and skating off as if nothing happened, unfortunately for her the officials noticed. Next up in the parade of penalties? Spacer John Goffredo and Dragon Mason who were so into snapping at each other during a puck drop that the official had to pause three times before he blew the whistle and called them both for a delay of game. Archer then dropped a wicked check form behind on Loveable Mason, causing the normally cool headed man to apparently curse such a blue streak that he was called for unsportsmanlike conduct. Thankfully those were the last two penalties of the first period.

Rumor had it that Princess Trouble was on the PA before the game making an announcement to the rumored gnomes that have ?Infested? the Silver Mark Arena. The jist of it was that if there were any shenanigans she would personally go through the arena with a blow torch and ash any and every gnome she found. This game was to go off without a hitch.

The Dragons did however make up for the lack of insanity by dumping a few hundred tee shirts from the rafters, onto the fans. That apparently made up for the lack of gnomeness.

The fans were excited for the second period, no one knew if there would be scoring or a continuation of more penalties. It looked like scoring would win out as Spacer Brett Dickinson scored two minutes into the period. Then there was nothing for close to ten minutes, the frustration was starting to show on both sides, it finally boiled over when Faustino brushed against Archer as he skated by, Archer took offence, the two dropped their gloves and went at it, pounding the snot out of each other for a good 5 minutes before the officials stopped it and gave them both five minute major penalties.

With that the dams broke again, Kazzy took on London, hitting him with a wicked high stick, he refused to leave the ice and wanted to fight with her, shouting some words that can?t be repeated here, thus earning him an unsportsmanlike conduct and a two minute time out of his own. Kazzy was out of the box less than a minute before she was dinked for roughing Archer. Up next in the Penalty Parade were Ehz and Jesse Felten who were both called for major fighting penalties after they danced together at center ice. Kate herself took on London at the end of the period after he roughed her, rather than wait to see if the penalty would be called against London, she instead retaliated and roughed him back. London got the double minor but Kate got two minutes herself.

In the middle of all this Kate did score a goal for the Dragons, it would be the only one the team would get.

The beginning of the third period started off just like the end of the second with Ehz going after both London and Archer with a flurry or slashes and cross checks, she was ultimately called for a slash. The next few penalties belonged to the Spacers, Archer got two minutes for roughing some random Dragon player he passed, KC Timmons tripped Faustino, and John Goffredo checked Ehz into the boards, all penalties were two minutes. As insane as this game sounds, all hell didn?t break loose until eight minutes into the third period when the frustration of the Dragons finally spilled over, Princess Trouble slashed Archer, Mason tripped London, then two minutes after she was released onto the ice, the Princess again went after Archer with another slash, the final penalty belonged to Ehz who was called for a high stick.

You might be wondering if there was any scoring in the third period? There was the Spacers scored two goals in the middle of what could only be called a hot mess, Jesse Felten scored two power play goals setting the final score at 5-1 Spacers

The Princess was seen quickly leaving the ice after the game and less than an hour later was spotted leaving the Arena, dressed to the nines and ready for a wedding reception. A few fans who stuck around to spy noted that she did not leave with Faustino but was instead picked up by another man who at least one identified as her on again off again boyfriend Derever.

Tension was high Friday night in the Silver Mark Arena when the Rhy Din Dragons took on the Marketplace Monocerious?s. Both teams were considered strong contenders for the Cup, both had struggled in the past few weeks with obvious inconsistencies, who would come out on top?

Duci started the party off early, scoring a minute into play. The rest of her team cheered and pumped fists as she stutter skipped up the ice. The Dragon?s fans groaned, hoping that this wasn?t going to be yet another dropped game by their team.

Princess Trouble Kate, who had been shut down in the Dragons previous game against the Spacers, was skating like he hounds of hell were after her, ignoring all the distractions, the mocking shouts from the Sparklefish himself, and the taunts from fans who were upset by the two losses the weekend before. She broke her scoring drought, whipping one past SparkleCor, pulling a sudden stop, and spraying hte flopping fish with a shower of ice. Those with seats on the ice said the Princess?s smile was large and full of relief.

Xenia was up next, fighting her way past both Marvelous Mason and KooKoo Krazy Kazzy Hart to shoot and score. SparkleCor was heard to yell across the ice at his team to not let their guard down and to remember there?s 60 minutes of play.

Ehz proved Cor?s point by scoring in the closing seconds of the first period. For those of you who are just now learning hockey let me explain something to you. Goals that are scored with a minute or less left in a period are gold for the scoring team and often death for the team scored upon. Momentum shifts quickly in a hockey game and a last second score like that can take a team into the locker room on a euphoric ?We can do it? feeling or a downer ?We just got kicked in the Twig and Berries? one.

The second period of play proves this point as the Dragons raced out of the locker room, full of spit and vinegar, ready to play and the Monocorus?s came out in a more measured pace.

Kate sailed across the ice, knocking some frozen rubber into Cor?s net and skated away, backwards, blowing kisses at him. Kate?s right hand man (or left hand man, depends on if you believe she?s engaged to him or not) Faustino followed her goal up with one of his own a minute later. As has become custom Kate and Faust met at center ice, grabbing each other in a big hug then a quick butt slap.

Ahni isn?t a girl who can be kept down, apparently she listened to her team captain Cor and she kept battling the Dragons, scoring her own leaping goal. It truly was a thing of beauty, this lovely woman raging up the ice, shooting the puck between the legs of Kazzy Hart, moving around her, then taking a flying leap over Mason as he went down on the ice while trying to stop her. Somehow in the middle of all of that she scored.

Proving the point that girls have more fun, Ahni scored again three minutes later this time avoiding a wickedly thrown Princessy elbow from Kate.

At the end of the second period the score was 4 all.

The battle continued in the third period. Those watching had already become aware that they were seeing a great hockey game and the Arena actually felt like it was moving and some swear that it actually was, in fact at least one scientific center in the Stars End sector reported what looked like a small earthquake was recorded right where the Silver Mark Arena is.

Ehz scored first in the third, bouncing on he ice as only she can. Her skating skills are such that goalies end up watching her and never see the puck go into the net. Unfortunately for the Monocerous?s this is true even for the Mighty Cor.

Xenia scored next, again tying the score up, this time at 5 all. With a full ten minutes of play left in the game no one knew what was going to happen.

Turns out that the two teams stayed tied until the end of regulation play, taking the game into OT. Less than a minute later Princess Trouble headed down the ice, grinning from ear to ear as she ran toward SparkleFish in a game of demented chicken. Cor blinked first and the Princess scored, giving the Dragons the 6-5 win.

Saturday night was interesting at the Silver Mark Arena, where the New Haven Nians took on the Rhy Din Dragons. With the final score 6-4 Dragons you might think that the Nians again just rolled over and let the Dragons skate all over them. You would be wrong. The Nians fought hard, perhaps not wanting to be humiliated as they were on the previous night by the Spacers.

While the Nians had a fire under their respective butts, the Dragons were dragging theirs a little. They were suffering from their own aftereffects from their overtime game against the Monocerus?s.

The first period was typical of the play here in Rhy Din, both teams came out feisty and ready for battle. The Dragons struck first at 59 seconds, yes you read that right, Ehz pretty much saw the puck drop, grabbed it, took off, and scored. The Nians and even the fans were a bit stunned.

Five minutes later Nian Anthony Cosmano grabbed the puck on a rebound and took off down the ice, scoring an unassisted goal and tying the score.

The two teams would sit at 1 goal a piece through the end of the period.

Tee shirts were again given out while the Zamboni cleaned the ice. Yet again it appeared that a few dozen gnome like creatures were running on the ice but for once the staff of the Arena didn?t try to catch them, instead letting the Zamboni run over any that got in the way. Only two were hit but they left quite a mess as large swaths of the ice were stained red and blue with whatever was inside the creatures. Quite a few fans were shocked and upset by the apparent ?Killing? of the creatures but those in the know stated that the gnomes are worse than rats and are trying to invade the whole city.

As the gnome guts were cleaned up off the ice at least one RHL official was heard discussing the pro?s and cons of asking the Great and Terrible Tara to come take care of the pests.

My vote? Please god no! We won?t have a Silver Mark Arena left if they let her into it.

The second period started with another Ehz goal, this gal is one to watch, she likes to strike hard, fast, and early. She might be a little crazy but whatever skills she has accumulated over the years seem to be serving her well on the ice.

The Hockey Princess herself scored next, skating up the ice backwards, protected and assisted by the ever faithful man at her side, Faustino. These two are quickly becoming a favorite couple within the league and hockey fans. They better hook up and confirm their relationship or a few ?contracts? might be taken out on anyone else their rumored to be dating (Derever? We?re talking about you man).

Nian Derek Scanlon was up next. The New Haven squad seemed determined to not fall too far behind. Many might question why the team is struggling so much but it was the newest and last team put together, they unfortunately didnt? have as much practice time and the players were thrown together with little thought. Next season I think they are going to be a team to watch, especially if Captain Riley Lo and her nice piece of Man Candy David come back.

Faustino who has stated in the past that he wants to be known as much for his hockey skills as his ?so called? relationship with the Princess, worked his magic and scored a beautiful goal that sailed past the shoulder of the Nian?s goalie.

The second period ended with the Dragons up by two goals.

There were no further salvo?s in the Great Gnome Genocide during the second period break, at least none that the fans could see as there were guards posted at all ice entrances and no gnomes were seen on the ice.

There was no scoring for the first 8 minutes of the third period and in a city where excitement is needed at all times the fans were getting restless. Princess Trouble changed all that when she scored a powerhouse of a goal with help from Faustino (Of course) and Koo Koo Krazy Kazzy Hart. The three of them were seen pumping fists and celebrating behind the net. A few fans sitting at the glass stated that Mr. Faustino was seen kissing the Princess. Hmmmmmm.

Again showing the grit and determination that seems to be the calling card of the Nians, Skylar Christofferson scored, doing his own hip thrusting dance down the ice as he celebrated.

Ehz closed out the Dragons scoring spree by scoring the most interesting goal of the season. She started off behind the Dragons net, taking the puck up the boards then moving to the center of the ice at the halfway point, she then did a cartwheel, landing on a hip, sliding a few feet, and then somehow shooting the puck past the Nian?s goal tender. The crowd, the Nians, and even the Dragons all sat in stunned silence before everyone broke out in thunderous applause.

That one is going on the highlight reel.

The last goal of the night belonged to the Nians, Quinn McIntosh though. It?s good to see that the team is fighting to the end and refused to die.

The final score was 6-4 Dragons.

As an aside, a few reporters and fans who waited to see the players leave the Arena noted that the Princess left with Faustino and was sporting some new jewelry on her left hand. So are the rumors true? Is the Princess married? If she is, who is the lucky man? The Dashing Derever or the Fab Faustino?
