Kingfishers poised to claw back Fish Bowl
Blacks Harbour, NB - Coming off a shootout win against the St. George XXX, Kingfishers team captain Greg Groom said he was "excited" about the upcoming playoffs. "We feel that if we can get the right refs in our line up and play good hockey, we can beat anybody. I really like our chances if that makes any sense. The one thing that is on everybody's mind is when is Taylor gonna catch fire and tear up the league again? If that happens, all bets are off," said a very nervous Groom.

Walsh warns Timberwolves
Blacks Harbour, NB - Kingfishers General Manager Matty Walsh warns the rival Blacks Harbour Timberwolves that his squad has not given up on first place yet. "I heard first the Timberwolves beat the Ratz 8-1 last night and then I heard it was 8-7 and the ref called some kind of greasy penalty on Taylor late in the game when the outcome was still in question. Then I heard it two of our boys reffing and I became infuriated. Being the recognizable player in the league with almost 900 goals shouldn't stop Taylor though. I don't know really what happened but have a feeling Levesque and Dugas must have pulled some kind of a stunt again. The actually screw their socks on, they're so crooked - cross-threaded too," added Walsh.

Timberwolves and Kingfishers tangle for first place tonight
Blacks Harbour, NB - The two teams are deadlocked for first place and tonight one of them will be in second place. The 2008-2009 Champions Blacks Harbour Timberwolves and Fundy Kingfishers each have 17-3-0 records, good enough for 34 points in the FIHL standings.
Matty Walsh stormed by reporters early Tuesday morning on his way to a team meeting but stopped to chat. "We will be without our biggest asset tonight - Jamie Harris. We are seeking the assistance of Lorne Grant to play net for us. Harris has been huge for us, but Lorne certainly is no slouch. Worse case Ontario - I'm in net and ain't npbody wanting that, boys," added Walsh. "At least we don't have to face the Ratz tonight who are facing the Pirates after our game. I hear they are gonna keep a few guys high and try to get some breaks," noted Walsh.
Timberwolves captain Dan Levesque offered no comments but was contacted by the Hockey Voice.

"I don't know when it was exactly, but do recall it was the first time I was proud to say he was my brother.

Smith cut from Kingfishers, services no longer needed
Blacks Harbour, NB - Shane Smith's attempt at a comeback has been cut short by the knife of the Fundy Kingfishers. Smith had come home from Alberta during the holiday season in hopes of landing a job with the Fundy Kingfishers and was unceremoniously cut by the team yesterday. Smith's departure was announced by Team GM Matty Walsh yesterday.
"Although Smith's time with our club was full of adventure, we feel that we are headed in another direction as a team. It's unfortunate that he could not deliver the style of play we needed. We wish all the best in his comeback," noted Walsh.
Smith was surprised by the notice and offered, "If Matty Walsh or any of that crew knew anything about hockey and I don't think they do, I'd still be on the first line. I was the 2001 Ratz Rookie of the Year and beat Walsh out that year in case he forgot. Now he's telling me I've seen better days? I could make a phone to Joe Stevens right now and be on the next plane to Pennfield Airport and playing for the Ratz tonight. I could be sipping a nice big drink of Smirnoff and Tang crystals down the Bay in no time. Matty Walsh can take that team and shove it where the sun don't shine."

Harris upset over Walsh's antics
Blacks Harbour, NB - Former Kingfishers bigwig Jamie Harris had lots to say after his team's victory Tuesday night. Harris was upset over the lack of intensity demonstrated by Matty Walsh and others. "They had Taylor on the bench and everybody was shits and giggles all the time. The Voice has a picture of Walsh in sunglasses while we were down 5-4 in a very important game. No wonder he got dropped off the Groom line and Taylor put MacQuarrie on the it. MacQuarrie got a hat trick and Walsh never got a sniff. I think it's time to get serious about hockey again. This ain't Hollywood," noted Harris.

"Any time you can get help like that, you take it. We were down 5-3 after two periods. Taylor shuffled the deck and we came out flying. You really can polish a turd, man," added Walsh.

Former Ratz Star suits up with Kingfishers
Blacks Harbour, NB - It was awhile ago when Shane Smith agreed to a one year deal with the Bonny River Ratz, but it is obvious the Ratz are trying to distance themselves from the former star. Ratz team captain Joe Stevens said, "There was a time when Smith could have played valuable minutes for our club, but since I've seen him and his pink bedroom set, I think we could do without him. We have moved in another direction."

Harris: "It's time to get serious"
Blacks Harbour, NB - Kingfishers star goalie Jamie Harris met with reporters late Sunday and was in no mood for funny stuff. "I find the world is nothing but shits and giggles nowadays and it's time to shut it down. Even the beloved Hockey Voice which used to be based solely on the local hockey scene and accomplishments, has turned into nothing but a bunch of crazy stuff. I mean, you can't even look on it now without somebody's picture being altered or photo shopped. Me, Matty Walsh and Greg Groom are the voices of reason in my mind and we are taking our protest to the streets. Today, January 4, 2010 is International No Smile Day." said Harris.
