Crack a Bottle

Another year is in the books as the 2013-13 season came stumbling in to the finish line. 

More importantly as we build up to a glorious 2014 tournament event that is sure to disappoint, let's take a way too early snap shot at the top 10 people we want to go.

10.  Billy T- Too bad this won't be Billy D, but hey if nothing else he has put his time in at Saugus to earn himself an invite. 

9.  MVW- The 2013-14 season might be the first year we see Mike healthy with some semblence of hockey skill.  This "where's waldo" of the 2008 florida trip surely will play better this time around.  I mean, he just has to, c'mon.

8.  Johnny- Going on a couple years without a hockey trip, Johnny will be looking for one last shot at glory.  Expect lots of needless sunblock and 45 minute showers for Johnny.

7.  Griff- As long as Borges and Jared are playing, Griff will be forced to continue his hockey career another year against his will.  Beachball will provide much needed grit and size to our undersized team, or perhaps things will get really weird and he'll be our goalie, more on that disaster in a bit.

6.  Ron-  Ron has tapped into Dale Avecado's fountain of youth program. http://www.drug-free-natural-health.com/.  That was very time consuming to find.  Back on subject, Ron appears remotivated to play street hockey and has atleast one great tourney left in him.

5. Scott-  I know I know, no one thinks he'll go.  But a beach road trip is right up his alley, we just need to keep the actual playing hockey part of the vacation on the down low.  Who am I kidding? Scott's not playing.

4.  Nick- Just realized how terrible our team is with Nick most likely being one of our best players.  He just really needs to follow our strict curfew we will set out for him.

3. Borges-  This is a tough one to predict.  JB keeps claiming a knee surgery is imminent, which we all know isn't going to happen, but still we need that ball of cartilidge to hold up his leg one more year.  He does have a mini-van for the trip, with automatic sliding doors.  More on that as well.

2. Jared-  After winning the points race this year, how can one expect him to be motivated for a measly hockey trip?  He also bought a gigantic mini-van for the sole purpose to go on this trip, so that's gotta mean something.  That was the follow up point to JB's mini-van.

1. Brett- I can't wait until we don't have a goalie and Brett has to jump in net for the team.  That probably gives Reggie a chance to make the roster tho.  And using Brendon's math skills, there's only a 12% chance Brett has another great tourney because he just had one in montreal and next years trip will still fall under the "3 year sample probability hockey trip" equation.

Okay more importantly here are the % of who will be our goalie for this year.

Brett- 70%.  The only "good" option we will probably have, and he's probably not even that good anymore since he recklessly dove at Jared's knee. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2LPa1O4A-Zo.

Griff- 15% He has a year to get good, which i give a 15 % chance.  Once he finds out goaltending is more tiring than playing i'm sure he'll lose interest in the challenge

Joe- 7 , 8% He'll say he's 100% in tho for what that's worth

Tony- 5% This is getting scary

Darrin- 1% Could you imagine?  I can't.

Dave- 0% Not sure why I put his name on here

Someone from Acton- 1 %. I don't know anyones name over there but maybe brett can make some new friends and ron can use his charm to pursuade someone.
