Ghetto Blaster 2 year anniversary !

2 years ago today the Ghetto Blasters team took to the ice for the very first time . When i started this team i was very reluctant but at the time i had no team to play for as the 2 teams i had played for had lied to me promising me the spot which was mine .... funny point is that i had won championships for both teams while injured and when i announced my injury i was promised that my spot would be there waiting for me when i returned . Which was not the case . Back then i was very angry with both teams but today i can honestly say thank you ! I wouldn't have started this if it weren't for you .

Since starting this team we have won a tournament championship ( Summit of the Arts ) and we won our summer league last year ( 2010 Monday night DMHL ) . Apparently the teams that i had played for have not won much since i left them and i have heard that the curse of Adrian hangs over them heavily :) .... having played for 1 of the teams since then it is something i was told in their room so i am not making this up ... LOL .

I started this team on my own , as there are a few guys who will tell you that they helped me .... really there is only 1 guy that helped me ... giving the team a name , finding players, making logo and just being a great all around Ghetto Blaster ... Greg Majster i would like to thank you for all of your help . Unfortunately Stro has moved on this season and is no longer on our roster but remains a great friend to me and the team . Hopefully we will see you at the Ghetto Classic this coming summer.

Speaking of the Ghetto Classic , another amazing part of starting this team 2 years ago ! This tournament sprouted out of all this ... one night sitting with one of the guys Stro brought to the team , Chad Dobbin ! He told me it was always a dream of his to start a hockey tournament , so we did .... it started as 2 teams getting really drunk and playing a 3 game series to last year having 6 teams and hopefully this year with 12 in 2 divisions ...

Last but not least we have went through roughly 80 skaters in 120 games thus far . I would like to thank each and every one of you for contributing in some form or other . It has been tough constantly finding new skaters to fill this squad with players quitting , getting hurt , moving , leaving for other teams and last but definitely not least for fighting on our own bench with our own teammates ( those guys got the boot hard LOL ) .

The future looks bright for the team , we have a winning record in our winter league this year . Planning to go to Europe ( Tachov, Czech Rep.) for a tournament later on this year and looking into entering our squad into a weeknight league next year to add onto our weekend schedule . Hopefully this year will be as good as our last year . The Ghetto Blasters will be around for years to come .

Keep It Ghetto !

Peace
