McMullin Hopes to be Returning Next Season

St. George XXX Star Matt McMullin

Stevens Joins Hockey Voice Officially

New Hockey Voice Insider Joe Stevens

Bonny River, NB – Thank you for all your support as I get acquainted with everybody at the Hockey Voice and gradually get my feet wet. Everybody except Geoff Cunningham has been very supportive of the move.

I don’t know if any of you kids have ever successfully put together a jigsaw puzzle or not. If you have, then I’m sure you will appreciate what Bob Gainey is doing with the Montreal Canadiens. He has tore down some of the old barriers that have held them back and appears to be well on his way to another Stanley Cup next June. I really can’t see anybody stopping them.

I am terribly sorry that Geoff Cunningham got let go from this position at the Hockey Voice and now it is my job, but he was not doing his job and this stuff happens. From what I can piece together, Cunny is losing his mind. He really believes what he says and that’s too bad. He was a pretty bright guy at one time, and now look at him. He’s baked. He’s talking about the Leafs and how they are building a strong team. Brian Burke couldn’t build a button for a shithouse door.

Stevens Magic Genie Turns into Disappointment

Joe Stevens with New Pet

Bonny River, NB - For the second time in less than a year, a local person has found a magic genie and unlike many in the past, this one grants only one wish. Joe Stevens found the bottle in the river last Saturday and is now sunken with disappointment. A very shaken Stevens met with reporters late Monday and noted, "I actually read about Matty Walsh's magic genie and you'd think I would have paid more attention but I just blurted out my wish and now I guess I'm stuck with it."

Matty Walsh Shows off his Magic Genie Wish

Blacks Harbour, NB - Matty Walsh says he "feels for his old friend," but said that he should have paid heed to the dilemma he was faced with when he found a magic genie. Walsh said, "The genie tells you that you only have one wish and I guess in the excitement, you just lose it. I know what Joe is going through. I could have been on Easy Street now, but instead I have this giant cat that eats food like a horse. The good news is there's not a mouse within miles of the house now."

Walsh Meets with Investors/Buyers

Cunningham Speeds Away from Reporters

Geoff Cunningham, Mahat Majacket and Matty Walsh

Blacks Harbour, NB - After several failed attempts to secure the Bonny River Ratz hockey team, it appears Geoff Cunningham has switched his attention to the Fundy Kingfishers. The Hockey Voice has obtained confidential documents that reveal Cunningham along with private investors and Walsh have held meetings to discuss the matter.


When contacted by the Hockey Voice, Cunningham offered, "Mr. Mahat Majacket has been a long time friend of mine. We did talk to Walsh and actually had our picture taken together. I'm guessing this is where the Hockey Voice is getting its information. Once again, a story has been broken by the Voice that may be based on some trace of truth, but has been reported as being 100 % factual. If I needed any shit from Taylor, I'd squeeze his head."

Joe Walsh Taking Orders for Deer Drags and Watches


Joe Walsh with Revolutionary Product

Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Joe Walsh owns the only hunting camp in Toronto and has been granted exclusivity in the sale of the new product called, "Deer Drag." Walsh said, "I am the Canadian distributor and would like to let the boys know I can get them deals on these bad boys. They make a great Christmas gift or birthday gift for your wife or girlfriend. Just let me know and I'll fix ya up. Also, anybody that needs a good cheap watch, needs to get a hold of me. I got it going on."





Richardson Leaks Out Player Information

Bubbles, Chris Richardson and Matty Walsh at Ratz Summer Camp

Bonny River, NB - Chris Richardson said "he didn't mean to," but released the name of a player the Ratz have been seeking for quite some time. Richardson noted, "I was so overwhelmed to meet a screen legend that I got carried away. Plus, Matty Walsh was there and you know he wasn't gonna shut his trap. Bubs may be taking the place of Andrew Moffitt but Moffitt has to understand, this is not a game, it's a business. I was playing on a line with Bubs at camp and we got along really well. He's a digger for sure. He's a little concerned that the name of the team might scare his kitties too."


McGrattan "XXX Players Having a Wild Summer"


Jason McGrattan in Toronto with Joe Walsh and Jamie Harris

Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Jason McGrattan took time from his vacation in Toronto to talk to reporters. He was visiting Joe Walsh's Urban Hunting Camp where foe Jamie Harris happened to be staying as well. McGrattan said, "It seems the boys and I are having a wild summer. I have never seen anybody saw up watermelon with a chain saw. Joe and I were having a few and he jumps up and pulls the cord and tells me to grab a watermelon and follow him."

Matt Hall at his Recent Wedding

Also, McGrattan addressed the current situation with Matt Hall who apparently got married recently. The Hockey Voice obtained a wedding picture and revealed it to a very shocked McGrattan. McGrattan noted, "I am still trying to find out who he married. I have spoken to a lot of the players on the team and nobody knows anything at this time. All I can say is I hope he's happy and wish him nothing but the best."

Cunningham Gets One Last One In


Geoff Cunningham and an obvious Mats Sundin (#13) late Wednesday


Bonny River, NB - By stating that he technically had one more Hockey Insider story to do, Geoff Cunningham submitted what is supposed to be his last one in this portfolio. Cunningham met with reporters at his house Wednesday night and was in the midst of what appeared to be a huge Christmas celebration. He noted, "We're all pretty buzzed here but here goes. The Leafs have made some huge moves this off season. They have brought in a guy named Orr for shit's sake. What more can I say than that? They got Komisarek from the Habs and now I think he's gonna be the next Aki Berg. They now have Gustavsson in net to compete with the perennial Vezina candidate Toskila. Burke says he's not done yet boys. In my view, there's no reason this team can't compete for 11th or 12th spot in the conference."

Joe Walsh Charged with Assault After Episode at Wedding

Joe Walsh Delivers Big Hit at Friend's Wedding

Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Joe Walsh's legal issues seem to be getting worse. The troubled Hockey Voice columnist has been charged with assault after laying a big hit on a lady at a friend's wedding. Walsh has released a statement - "I recall Taylor telling me that if I see somebody coming right in the tracks with their head down, do not miss the chance to deliver the hit. This girl had a drink in her hand and was looking down at it. I spied this from the other end of the hall and took about five big strides and cleaned 'er. If that's assault, then they oughta do something about the criminal code then. I got my hip into her really good and she went flying. Shit, I even bought her another drink and asked her if she wanted to stink up a room."

Cunningham Accepts New Position but Sounds off About the Voice

Geoff Cunningham Outside Hockey Voice Headquarters

Bonny River, NB – In the second part of the re-organization of the staff, the Hockey Voice announced the assignment of Geoff Cunningham to full time head psychic. Editor Mark Taylor said, “Geoff’s experience with the paranormal has been instrumental in giving the Hockey Voice instant credibility with his amazing predictions.”

Taylor refused comment on why the Hockey Insider portfolio was taken from Cunningham and given to Joe Stevens.

However, Cunningham was caught leaving the Hockey Voice headquarters and offered, “This whole thing is political. I have been making some comments to Taylor about the Leafs re-building and the Habs apparent demise. He didn’t like it and decided to give the job to a more Habs-friendly guy like Stevens. To call this announcement bullshit would be like calling the Habs trash. I don’t care. I’ll keep doing my psychic thing and have fun. We’ll see how Stevens does.”

Hockey Voice Announces Changes

Stevens Joins Hockey Voice as the New Hockey Insider
Joe Stevens with Pictures of his Hockey Heroes in the Background

Bonny River, NB - Effective immediately, Joe Stevens has joined the Hockey Voice as the hockey insider. Stevens brings several years of hockey experience and expertise and should bolster the publication's wide coverage of hockey and non-hockey topics.

Stevens met with reporters late Tuesday and offered, "I am flattered that I have been selected for this post. Ever since I first saw the Hockey Voice, I hoped that one day I'd be in it and that has happened. Now, to become a member of the staff, I'm happier than a pig in the tank of Hannan's Septic Service."

Stevens assumes the role formerly held by Geoff Cunningham, who will remain with the Hockey Voice as the Head Psychic.

Stevens "Alarmed" But Not Afraid of Ganong's "Gang"

Joe Stevens Just Minutes After Learning of St. Stephen Gang

Bonny River, NB - Joe Stevens noted that, "Nick Ganong really has to cool it on that gang stuff. Does he not read the Hockey Voice and know that I had a gang going in Bonny River that would roll over them like a dead porcupine on King St. in Pilltown? Yeah, I'm a little alarmed, but certainly not afraid of anything coming from that area."





Bike Gang Hits St. Stephen

Nick Ganong Part of Gang?

St. Stephen, NB - Rumours of a huge bike gang hitting the Border Town have surfaced and Nick Ganong's name has been linked. According to reports, Ganong formed the gang after several threatening confrontations with old foe Joe Stevens. Ganong would not confirm the report, but the Hockey Voice captured him in the Wall Region of the Town recently bombing around on a new bike.

New York, NY - The Bonny River Ratz were part of a celebrity basketball tournament that took place in New York over the weekend. Team captain Joe Stevens said, "This is a great event. The organizers, Husband Beaters Anonymous, flew us all in for this. Phil Collins was here and all of us to give you some scope of the celebrities that were here. I think Richardson needs to settle down a bit though. Jumping around like a kangaroo on crack."

Urban Hunting Enthusiast Joe Walsh

Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Joe Walsh felt "it was time" to put out gun rules that people can understand and live with. Walsh noted, "These are the regulations we have in place in Toronto or at least the ones I go by. They are self-explanatory. I am probably the foremost expert as far as hunting goes in the city. You really have to pick your spots to get the guns out. It's not like back home where the cops don't drive around looking for people toting firearms. Man, if I walked out of my apartment today with a gun in my hand, either the cops would hassle me or some idiot would call the cops. That's' what I'm dealing with ALL the time. I wear orange and I'm really careful about my treestands and stuff, and still they are on me all the time."

Eerie Voice Mail Message Has Voice Staff Stumped

Matty Walsh
Chris Richardson

Head Psychic Geoff Cunningham

Bonny River, NB - Members of the Hockey Voice staff are scratching thier heads this morning after receiving a voice mail message from an unknown caller. The caller says that they have obtained tickets to go watch the Habs win their 25th Cup next June and to make sure "you book time off." Also includes an invitation to watch the Cup Parade.
Geoff Cunningham, the Voice's head psychic, says, "This is obviously somebody in the know as far as the supernatural world goes. I consulted my spirits last night and it appears that the Canadiens will win the Stanley Cup next year. The whole thing caught me off guard, but it is very factual."
Chris Richardson noted, "I listened to the message and thought the person was on drugs and immediately turned it over to the cops. I do believe the Habs will win the Cup though."

Matty Walsh said, "I couldn't get to sleep after hearing that message. I am pumped now though. Whoever the person is will come out next spring when we all go to Montreal to watch the Cup Parade. I already booked two weeks off in late May and early June just to be sure."

Pudge was here fresh from his big win at the FIHL Awards banquet. He won most shots taken and most blocked shots again. The horse thing was a little crazy, but it just goes to show that humans aren't the only people that like to party. Everybody loves Canada."

Joe Walsh Under Fire at Hockey Voice

Joe Walsh Sports Offensive T Shirt

Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Joe Walsh's day as Entertainment Critic for the Hockey Voice may be numbered. When a photo surfaced of Walsh in a very offensive T shirt, the management was quick to act. Chris Richardson said, "This stuff is not what the Voice is all about. It just sends the wrong message. We will be making a decision on Walsh's future soon."
Even brother Matty Walsh spoke out about it. He noted, "If that's the type of thing that flies in Toronto, I certainly don't want any part of that. Even I was offended and that's saying a lot."

Ganong Tackles Lions, Issues Warning to Stevens

Nick Ganong with "Harry"



St. Stephen, NB - A lot can be said about Nick Ganong, but not many people are doubting his courage these days. The Hockey Voice visited the journeyman goaltender recently and he showed off his pet lion, Harry. Ganong said, "When I was confronted by Joe Stevens, at first I thought he was joking. I soon realized that he wanted to dance a little. Really? That guy plays with a big fat bunny? He's a friggin' joke."

Blacks Harbour, NB - A very distraught Matty Walsh met with reporters Sunday. He said, "We won a ball hockey tournament a week or so ago and Groom and Harris are acting like it was today.

McGrattan Reacts Swiftly to Stevens' Aggression

Jason McGrattan at the Beach Sunday

St. George, NB - Jason McGrattan was greeted late Sunday by a mob of reporters looking for comment on the Joe Stevens-Nick Ganong controversy. McGrattan said, "I heard about it and I'm not happy about it. Geez, it's late June and this stuff is still going on? I'm definitely not burying my head in the sand and pretending it's not happening. We're thinking of sending some boys to Bonny River to talk this thing out."

Ganong said, "This is the same old stuff with Stevens. He's been doing that crap for years and I'm not afraid. I have passed this along to league officials and it will be dealt with appropriately I assume."

The winner may win an all expenses trip to Bonny River, go on a 4 wheeler ride, and get to sit in a real life treestand. Stay tuned."

Bonny River, NB - If the new tattoos are any indication, it appears Joe Stevens is looking for a new tougher and meaner image. The Ratz hired a firm that specializes in image building and recommended this to Stevens. Stevens noted, "This is the same company Matty Walsh and the boys use and look at how tough they appear to be. By the way, I'm ready to go if anybody wants to stop by for a couple minutes."

Walsh Gives Thumbs up for Both New Charlotte County Flicks

Two New Action Thrillers on the Way this Summer

Geoff Cunningham is Captain Enema

Greg Groom is the Blue Bunny

Hockey Voice Entertainment Critic Joe Walsh

Toronto, Ontario, Canada - I've been busy but I can always make time when Charlotte County's film makers come out with new movies like the ones I'm reviewing this week. It's balls to the wall action with plenty of great acting. Somebody must have heard me say, "Turn down the suck, turn up the good!"

Captain Enema

It starts a little slow, but Cunningham, despite the title, shows the bad guys he's taking no shit from them. The movie is hilarious in parts especially with Cunny's great delivery. There's the scene where his friend dies playing checkers. He told the guy KING ME, but he must have not heard him correctly and subsequently was killed. Cunningham is then called in to investigate. There's plenty of cameo appearances by some of Charlotte County's biggest stars. My brother Matty Walsh plays himself, the hard-working, energetic, clean living hockey player who is out to fight evil in the underworld of Charlotte County. This one has two thumbs up; all the way up!

Blue Bunny

Greg Groom plays a crime fighting superhero called the Blue Bunny. It is a playful flick that is sure to be in for a Golden Partridge Award next year. Groom lives in a hole in the forest and comes out at night to take on the bad guys. He almost becomes road kill, but his fast reflexes saved him. The premise may seem a bit silly, but this one had more than one tear coming out of this reviewer's eyeballs. Groom shows off his great acting skills and doesn't rely heavily on a supporting cast. I'm giving this one two lucky rabbit feet up!

In fact, things have become so bad, the word "SHERIFF" is being used in his latest sign. Stevens said, "I don't like to bother Sheriff Johnny Borthwick about the little stuff but sometimes you just use that name to scare people."

Walsh said,"The regulations for this type of business are outrageous. I have to have men and women's washrooms? I had a uni-sex one set up out back that was temporary. I put up a sign to warn people not to block my fire exits and they have a problem with that. My hands are tied boys. It's a shame because this place would be rocking. I got Juggy's band all booked. They learned some English songs and sound really good. It ain't over yet boys."

Cunningham noted, "There was nothing going on. Sure she was hot, but we don't need this crap in the Hockey Voice. The Hockey Voice was supposed to take a few pictures and a little write up, but it appears it is only interested in doing doing dirt. I know I didn't do anything wrong but I can't speak for Groom or Stevens."

Like Shakespeare said if you can't handle the truth, get out of the kitchen, man."

Meanwhile, captain of the champs Matty Walsh noted, "Who is this Shakespeare guy he's always quoting? Is he gonna listen to me or listen to his friends? We had a great time this weekend but right now, I feel like a skidder has ran me over."

Cunningham added, "I have confirmation that superstars Mark Taylor and Joe Stevens will be on hand along with special guests. They will be made available to the public at some point in time for a meet and greet. Their handlers aren't giving me much more detail than that and I apologize for that. People have to remember these are the RATZ for crying out loud. They will be signing sticks and shirts and some pictures will be allowed. I haven't heard of anything about a supposed list of approved photographers. I think that's something that perhaps Josh Bagley or Matty Walsh started. These guys are extremely jealous individuals and really have to get over it."

Richardson Gives Approval for Stevens Purchase

Chris Richardson Shows off New Shirt

Bonny River, NB - Chris Richardson left Bonny River Ratz headquarters on Sunday and voiced his opinion over the news that the Ratz will go back to Bonny River ownership.

Richardson noted, "It's not that I didn't enjoy playing for European ownership, I just think that a team like this should have its strings pulled from somebody with their finger on the pulse. That person is Joe Stevens. I haven't met the other members of Joe's group, but I hear they are happy go lucky and that's a big thing for me. Here comes success."





Stevens Looks to Take Back Ratz

Joe Stevens Meets with Press on Sunday

Bonny River, NB - Joe Stevens says that if he has his way, the Bonny River Ratz will not be falling into the hands of a "bunch of foreigners." Stevens was commenting about the series of stories circulating about Geoff Cunningham, Mike Gould a group of other Pennfield millionaires who were looking to buy the storied franchise and possibly move it.

Stevens noted, "Me and a bunch of farmers from Bonny River have made a formal bid and it should be enough. Let's just say there ain't gonna be no Pennfield Ratz in the FIHL this year. We are committed to having hockey in Bonny River for a number of years. Them two don't their asses from their elbows. Every time they go to have a dump, they roll up their sleeves."

Blacks Harbour, NB - Matty Walsh announced Wednesday that he is opening a new club in Backs Harbour called the "Club."

Ain't no flies on this cat. I got Reno and a few of the boys that said they'd come in and hang around and not charge me anything for it so I'll save on wages. I'm really excited. I have a place to park your bicycles, four wheelers or anything you drive out back."

St. George, NB - Jason McGrattan and Scott Matheson unveiled a fund raiser that will hopefully allow them to sign some free agents in the off season and nab their first FIHL Championship next season.

They cost only 10 bucks and really, what's 10 bucks when you can look fresh and hot? Scott and I both use this product and it's unbelievable. Plus, how many times have you placed a banana in your shorts only to have it fall out at inopportune time. The elastics and stuff will keep everything in place and keep you looking nice for sure."
