Benefit Brawl

Benefit Brawl XVII.  

Hard to believe this will be the 17th one of these games!  And we all look the same as we did in the first one.  Back then it really was Moose vs Blues but that got a tad, well there was tension. So in the spirit of fun we all got mashed into one big player caldron to pick teams from! Adding Capts to pick the teams seems to have lessoned the tension even more and enhanced the fun!  

The date for this year’s game is March 15th at 1pm.  Same deal as in the past.  We get ice, we play a game, we go to see Royals game and watch A-Aron sleep in public places. T-shirts will again be sold and will be screen printed and NOT pressed on like last year.   Much better shirt that way.

This year the charity will be for Pancreatic research (one of 2 charities, it is TBD).

Many of you know or are familiar with Jim Manno.  He has played for the Chiefs in the ROHL and has been a ref and is a zam driver at the rink part time. Turns out his son Tony was diagnosed in Oct and then passed in Nov.  Only in his 40’s.  If there is a spot Jim, is going to play in the game this year.  If not, we will have him ref the game as part of the ref crew.  Maybe even have 2 refs and a linesmen for this one!!

Many more details and many more emails to come.  For now I need to know if you want a spot in the game.  If you are for sure out of town or otherwise cannot play let me know that too. Interest in these games is always high and there are usually more players than spots.  So before I roll this out to others, those that have played in the past get first dibs.  With the long-time vets first followed by more recent skaters.

Cost is TBD based on ticket cost and shirt cost.  I am in the process of getting both now.  But expect it to be around $125 again this season. If you are in for sure, no matter what, you can tell me how many tshirts and sizes you want/need.  If I don’t get a size you get what you got last season and hope you did not gain or lose weight!

Capt’s will be picked later.  If you want to be a capt I am taking bribes, if you don’t want to be Capt for sure let me know so I can pick you this year. Else I will pick and will schedule the draft when we get closer to the game.
 
Logo for this years game is below.  Thanks once again to Tom McGrath for putting that together! He did it with on knee tied behind his back too!  If you want to promote the game on social media feel free.  Mention benefit Pancreatic Cancer Research.  Please manage any friends that may want tickets.  It would be to much for me to handle them as well.  As in the past attendance to the comedy show (Moose v Blues) in the afternoon is free. Tickets only needed for the Royals game.
