The Next Peoria Road Trip
Saturday December 18, we will try to have an Old fashioned Duffer Road trip.  (A bus full of hockey players with no dogs, kids, wives or girl friends)  Coach Granato declared a 20 Duffer minimum.  He can't understand how we can get 35 guys to spend $550 to see Tony and we can only find 10 or 12 guys with $68.00 to play on his ice.  He put a bounty on the Duffers.  If we can't get 20 guys to come down, the trip is canceled.  Some of he Peoria Duffers offered to drive up here and play on Friday night, then help us fill our 20 man minimum if we can't get enough participation.
We will meet at the Holiday Inn  on Highway 83, just south of I-55.  (There is a Denny’s next door if you want breakfast) We will leave at 9:00 AM so that we can play at 12:30 PM. in the Civic Center Rink.  We will have a meal, then return to the rink for the Rivermen’s Game.  We will stay at the Holiday Inn, have Breakfast and return home on Sunday.
 
  
The Peoria Rivermen beat the Generals 7-4 in a penalty filled game. An hour long first period, marred by 141 penalty minutes put the King to sleep.
 
 
After the game, the Duffers had a night cap at Bennigans.
Sunday Morning, the Duffers passed up a chance to skate again and went to the fitness center instead, but no one had a key so they went to breakfast.  Wheezer passed up an opportunity to go to church with Brinks because the Catholic mass was too much work.  "They make you stand up, sit down and kneel.  I would go if they would just let you sit there.  That is too much work!"
 
Let's go to Hayward in March!
We may be able to fill a bus with some of our Peoria team mates!
 
Peoria Road Trips
 12/11-13 or 12/18-19
Magoo and Wheezer scored, but that is all I can remember. E-mail me   lopatka@ix.netcom.com Blues 2 (Harvey and Alien) Whites 1 (Beak) Granato had 2 for the Whites Peoria's Emo had one or two for the Blues.  There were a lot of meaningless goals that didn't register.  Peoria's Art had some of those.
Dec. 31     Y2K Party
We now have the Ice rink reserved for a New year's Eve party from 8:30 PM.  until ?
Now all we have to know is how many people will show up.
We will have a family skate.  There will be a small charge to cover food and drinks.  $10.00 saves you a spot!
