The 2008 Snoopy’s Senior World Hockey Tournament got underway this past Sunday, July 13th, in Santa Rosa, California.
Two current Otters and two former Otters lined up on three teams. Oldster Tom Muthig suited up for the 60B Berkeley Bears. David Warner was on 45 Ice Oasis Polars as was former Otter Walter Whiteside. Former Otter Ed McKnight tended goal and played up for the 60C Ice Oasis Iron Rangers.
Muthig’s Bears appear to have been the only winner, beating the Colorado Cougars 8-7.
The 45 team had a long drive home after being thrashed 7-0 by Oakland’s Ice Hawks.
McKnight played in a late game before the blog went to press. If they won, it would be a miracle.
The current and former Ice Oasis teams seem to always have a problem putting the puck in the net.
“My goal,” said Warner, “is to get a goal. It will make the 170 mile roundtrip drive more pleasurable.”
That might be tough since the 45’s have a 11:25pm Monday game against a tough Richmond Avalanche and play the number one Indiana Irish Rovers at 10:45am on Thursday.
Muthig was a little more upbeat. “We won the first game in a squeaker, so we are now fired up having had our Geritol,” Muthig said while draining a beer.
McKnight had said earlier, “all games start out 0-0.”

As it happens, the elderly Ice Oasis Iron(ic) Rangers not only managed to score a goal...they scored 4. Down 0-3 midway through the 2nd, they came back with 4 unanswered only to see their lead taken away with 90 sec remaining. They lost with 26 seconds left in an exciting overtime.
