2005 GRADS WIN ANNUAL GRUDGE MATCH
Princeton Secondary School Grads dished out an evening of entertaining hockey Saturday night when they hosted a team of RCMP members, Rescue Crew responders and School Teachers.
The Grads played a brand of hockey that even the Princeton Posse should examine more closely.
In what appeared to be a very carefully calculated attack, the Grads executed a skilled match of Odivide and conquer¹ by slowly picking off the opposition one by one.
PSS Principal Bill Lawrence fell victim to a swarm of Grads. Lawrence dropped to the ice faster than prices in the school cafeteria.
Teacher Steve Lepoidevin crashed quicker than his computer; Rescue Crew Member Shelby Smith fell prey to the game faster than his best response time.
The precision of the attack by the Grads was a work of art.
RCMP Cst. Mike Kelly was busted faster than a local grow-op when it was his turn to receive the silly string torture.
The Grads left no player untouched and were setting up their opponents with every play.
Penalties called included 4-minutes to Bill Lawrence for looking so good.
The second intermission introduced Teacher Gordon Bibby¹s most recent invention, a rocket pack.
Once it kicked into overdrive and the afterburners lit, he shot around the rink faster than you could say, "Could I see your drivers license and vehicle registration, please?"
The Grads, a team of nineteen players, finished the match with an 11-8 win.
They earned the win and the capacity crowd provided plenty of support for the Grad Class of 2005 and their graduation activities.
There were many door prizes raffled, all donated by local businesses and the 50/50 draw was won by Mary Sol.
Her winning ticket brought her $210.00.
