You didn’t need NCAA Basketball to find March Madness in Northern Rhode Island last month. Look no further than The NRIAHL, as we reflect on the month that was. Shannon Caverly set the tone for the month by literaly slamming home the first two goals of The Month of Madness. Matt Connell, in a rage of jealousy, followed up that performance with a pair of goals himself, just a week later, only to be followed up by Eric Robichaud dilevering the first two goals for his team in the subsequent week.
Crazy as that stuff was, there is more, as Brian Beck shatters Keith Kreaunelis’s record of 41 goals in a season. When reached via satelite in The Antarctica, Kreaunelis said, “I could not be more proud to hand off this record to someone with so much talent as Brian Beck. Personally, there is know one I respect more in the game of hockey than Brian. With that said, I really need to get back to studying the artic penguin.” Beck now has scored 48 goals on the season, and seems a lock to reach 50 goals with three games left.
Finally, March Madness came to an end for The NRIAHL on Friday Night, when “Campy” showed up an hour and ten minutes early for his Friday night game, all because he had not been made aware of the additional two games added to the season, or the change in schedules for all seven teams for the final four games of the season. He too was reached via satelite in The Antarctica for comments, as he traveled with Keith. “I can not believe you effen people with your gdam effin schedule BS…I get screwed again…I’m gonna kick someone right in the balls…”, and then the satellite connection was lost at that point.
Who knows what to expect with The Month of April, as we finish up the season and get ready for The Playoffs. The battle for the first place bye is literally up in the air, as ATS-Orange remains in control, but just barely. Mean while Vescera Law controls it’s destiny in the battle for the all important 5th place spot with MSCCC. Both teams are tied with points, but The Law has the extra game in hand.
