GAme cancelled

Poor ice conditions due to the Zamboni breaking down caused cancellation of tonight's game. At least it wasn't a loss!

Ice Box Tonight

The Red Army plays in the Ice Box (EGF BLC) Arena tonight. They take on The Boardwalk for the THIRD time. "We haven't played Gerrell's yet, what is with the scheduling," said Todd Palmiscno. Game time is 7:45. Too busy for anything else to write!

Army gets Thumped

The Red Army was beaten soundly last night 7-3 by OBB (Formally the GFAFB). With the Army missing 2 defensemen, coach Terry Paukert move Steve Palmiscno and Steve Knipe back to the blue line. This virtually took any scoring punch away from the Army. Coach Paukert said, "We have reached a new low in the history of the Red Army. It may well have been the worst game this storied franchise has played." Paukert continued, "Even having Shawn McMillan or Kevin Kyle back in the line-up wouldn't have helped!" The loss drops the Army to 2-5-1 on the year and look destined to roam the cellar for a 2nd straight year. The Army was under the gun even before the game started. Goaltender Eric Melland was a late scratch due to an unknown injury. Unidentified Army sources claim that Melland has a stubbed pinky toe and couldn't get his skate on without some discomfort. Bill Knipe said, "He isn't old enough to use that excuse yet." The only bright spot on the night was Kurt Comeau. Comeau actually scored on a breakaway. That make 4 goals out of 245 breakaway attempts. The Army will face The Boardwalk for the 3rd time this season next week. Game time is 7:45 at the East Grand Forks Ice Box (Blue Line Arena). Free Admission and puke buckets for this one!

2nd half begins tonight

The Red Army finished the first half of the season with a 2-4-1 record. Not bad for a team of has-ben's and once-was. Tonight the Army faces off against OBB at 8:00 pm at the Eagles Arena. Prime time baby for the Army. Coach Terry Paukert made the team watch "Miracle" last night to inspire a 2nd half run. "Chad Swendseid said, "The only run is going to be down my pants when we lose again!" Len Boucher had a different thought, "If watching this movie causes Bill to be inspired, then I'm all for it." Lance Norman chimed in, "He should be, there was free food at the showing." Not many tickets remain for tonight's game. Call 1-800-REDARMY for the best available seat!
