It was learned today through anonymous sources that the Friday night Otters have picked up the rights to veteran goaltender Mark Torelli for next season. GM Aden Nolet had no comment but was seen smiling this afternoon as he was on his popsicle break.
In the past, the 30 year old Torelli has voiced his desires to play Friday nights. He has stated that the atmosphere and drinking arrangements are much better on Fridays than on Wednesdays.
Torelli went up against the Otter's developmental team Oasis last Wednesday and faced 112 shots. Though, his team lost by one goal, Torelli was impressive. Mark also has played on the Otters' away team, the Wonder Pets, in June at Lake Tahoe and showed that he was very versatile playing Rockband.
Tonight's game against the Falling Stars is the last game of the season and may mark the last time that this team plays the season together. Rumors are spreading that all teams will be disbanded for the next season. Names will be put into a JOFA helmet and pulled out one at a time then placed into the eight team pool.
The last two weeks saw a flurry of trades. The biggest moves were on Wednesday night.
"We had to do something," said director Chris Knight, "some teams had injuries and no shows. It became which team had the better subs. Next season we are going to eliminate the "hockey whore" mentality by charging subs more and there has been talk of placing fines on no shows and having injured players bring in a doctor's note."
Knight alluded to the fact that people should show up and not get hurt. He hinted that IOHA chief guru Ken Yackel might bring in monkeys to play.
