Less than a week after acquiring the rights to sign free agent goalie Mark Torelli for next season, Otter GM Aden Nolet sold those rights to the Intangibles for $5,000 and future considerations.

“After last week’s stellar performance by Jim Pozzobon and the need to have cash for the party beer, it was a no brainer to make this move.” Nolet went on to say that Pozzobon was on his game last week and allowed only one goal which went off his own defender.

“When Jim shows up early and has a good warm-up, the team is ready,” added Nolet. “We only lost three games all year and the road to the championship starts with Jim in goal.”


The Otters’ developmental team, Oasis, lost a close game Wednesday night to above mentioned Torelli. Oasis GM Bulslaw Udowski is protesting the game stating that an illegal puck may have been used. IOHA director Chris Knight is shown here with said puck.

After the game, Oasis player and Otter want-to-be Bo Daly was seen having a romantic dinner with Pittsburgh Penguin transplant Karin in Yack’s Corner. The couple was seen secluded at a table chomping on a bacon burger and munching sausage pasta. They hurriedly left, leaving behind the sausage and some fries.

Wednesday night may have seen the last of Alan Nolet. The tanned, hairless forward turned defenseman has had a tough time adjusting to the Wednesday night pace. During the season, comments could be heard in and around the rink than Big Alan didn’t belong on Wednesday night and he should take his bag (not Jules) with him. Good luck to him!!

There are three players that GM Nolet is looking at giving a shot to play on next season’s Otters. Daly has shown that he still has his legs and grit. The Finnish Terror, Juha Punnonen, would be almost a lock to make the team but he is not comfortable playing on Fridays. When he was a kid back in Finland, one Friday, he had a bad experience on a pond. The third prospect is the youngster from down south, Tirso Camacho. The only thing holding Camacho back is his goal scoring. Off the ice he is great but on the ice, he needs to be consistent in putting the biscuit in the net.

As some of you regular readers may know, the “Sniper” Ted Brown has had a pick up game going on for decades at Belmont Iceland on Monday nights. The Belmont rink has been undergoing some major changes the past few weeks and is anticipating a reopening on the 22nd of this month. Ted is having a big gathering at Ausiello’s in Belmont on El Camino on Monday the 15th around 7:30. He is looking for new recruits and is serving up FREE BEER and CANDY for all that attend. He has a slush fund to cover this and I’m sure he is going to really appreciate that this event is now blogged. Bring everyone you know!!!
