Dickie Dunn – Honest & True Hockey Rumors Weekly


Sharks fan favorite Jeff Friesen will return to San Jose as a tryout player when Sharks training camp begins Sept. 20 at Sharks Ice at San Jose.

Friesen’s first stint in San Jose resulted in 350 points (149 goals and 201 assists) in 512 games. For his career, Friesen has played in 893 contests and posted 516 points.

Otter GM Aden Nolet said that if the Sharks were unable to find a place for Jeff, "the Otters would more than happy to give him a look”


Commenting on the offer, Friesen said: “I’d love to end my career here,” said Friesen, who has not yet won a Stanley Keg. “But first things first and I have to take advantage of the opportunity.”

Friesen is currently skating at Sharks Ice at the Captain’s Practices and is enjoying skating with NHLers. Last year, he played five games for Lake Erie, Colorado’s American Hockey League affiliate, and scored five points (four assists) in five games.

“It’s nice to get in and be around the guys,” Friesen said. “but I have heard some very possitive things about the Otters. Their post game celebrations are legendary around the NHL and it would be great to be a part of them."

Whiteside back to The Otters???

Dickie Dunn – Biker Chicks & Hockey Quarterly

The recent pugilistic escapades of Wally Whiteside has this reporter taking another look at the former Otter blueliner.
Whiteside’s dedication to winning and team focus had been called into question during his last tenure with the Otters. Reports of focusing on personal stat padding as well as times Whiteside was observed reading copies of Hang Glider & Juggs Magazine in between ice shifts, has put him in the same category as other troubled athletes like Terrell Owens, Rickey Williams and Dennis Rodman.

I caught up with Otter GM Aden on his way back from the Board of Governors meetings in Boston, and asked him about Whiteside.

“Well, I first heard about Wally’s latest exploits on HockeyFights.com” said Nolet. “Maybe this is Wally trying to display his new found toughness and grit. I mean; when he played in the Tahoe tournament this year he basically stole a motorboat and took it for a joyride.”


Nolet continued to say, “It is no big news, that with the Otters recent success, teams have been taking some liberties with some of our players. Just 3 weeks ago a member of the Yaks said some pretty discouraging things about my mom. I mean, you learn in kindergarten, that you NEVER say anything about someone’s mother!”
During the game that Nolet was speaking about, Otter defenseman, David Warner answered the challenge and was seen making some discouraging remarks back to the opposition's bench.
“I like Dave sticking up for my mom like he did, but we cannot rely on a senior citizen to be the enforcer of our team, said Nolet”
This reporter can only wonder if Wally Whiteside is trying to step up and let us all know that he is ready to step up and fill that grider roll the Otters need

Wally - Lover or Fighter?

OTTER INJURY UPDATE 8-18-08

by Richard Cranium

After a slim win last Friday, the Otters are reeling after recent injuries. Their twenty-five person roster is now down to seven players (pictured here).

Stalwart defenseperson Jules Nolet took a wicked shot to the foot and will be out of the lineup upwards to two weeks. Here is a picture (no fooling.


Likeable Rob Caplan, as reported earlier may be done for the season. It can now be reported that he has a disc problem. Here is one that was taken out this past weekend.

Ted Brown will likely miss next Friday's game with a lower body injury. "The Sniper"
hurt himself two weeks ago when he was dragged down to the ice and only aggravated it more last week. Still, it shouldn't really hurt his golf game but won't allow him to play or make the big party. Here is Ted:

Three Otters are on injured reserve list with "hair" issues.
Chuck Jewett appears to be losing more hair than normal

Dmitri Smirnov has gained some hair and cann't fit into his helmet.

Tom Muthig thought he was applying Brylcream to his hair but unbeknownst to him some smartass switched it to Rogaine.

Big Alan Nolet is now sidelined indefinitely with a hand injury.


Wesley Leung, as reported earlier, may not be back for the rest of the season or lifetime. Leung the terrorist sustained a terrible thumb injury when it got jammed in his machine gun.

Four other Otters are possible scratches for this week's 8:15pm game against the Polars. Gary Ahern suffered a severe off ice sunburn while vacationing in Hawaii.

Speedy Val Kasvin fell while pole dancing as did Jim Bohac trying to perfect his wife's whirling dervish moves.

Goalie Jim Pozzabon may or may not make the game as he got hit in the head with his alarm clock pictured here.

There are only three more games left before (a) the Ice Oasis closes or (b) the playoffs start on September 12th. Which Otter players will be ready???

Gary Ahern’s fish!!!

There is a good possibility that two or more spots may become available on the Otters soon or in the near future.

Speedy Rob Caplan has been hampered by a number of injuries and because of health privacy issues, full details can not be disclosed. These “injuries” were caused by roller hockey and old age and/or a combination of both situations. He has been off his skates since July 12th and may not be back for the playoffs. “There are a number of problems,” Caplan said recently, “I’m having stamina and erect issues.” Caplan went on further to say that the doctors just don’t know where to start. “They (the doctors) want to put a metal pole up my butt. Maybe I could be part of a merry-go-round,” the likeable Caplan said.
Rob is pictured here with his “dream girl”.




Quiet Wesley Leung is heading off to the Summer Olympics. This reporter got wind that Homeland Security is looking into Leung’s possible connections to an underground Chinese terrorist organization and may not let him back into the country. The government agency issued this latest picture of Leung.


Otter defense person Jules Nolet has been secretly trying out with new teams. Here she is pictured at a recent practice session with the Hawks.

Husband, big Alan Nolet is leaving the Wednesday night team and along with Jules is seeking a new venue to play their games.

GM Aden Nolet says he is staying on no matter what. “Hey, they leave and I have the house to myself. I’ve learned enough survival techniques that I can exist without them!” GM Nolet went on to say that there are plenty of up and comings on the developmental team. “We have Juha “the Finnish Terror”, Tirso and Bo Daly who is planning on staying in the area with his live-in soon to be fiancée Karin. There are plenty of skaters who want to be here,” said Nolet.
