Just like every season so far i have had people drop out at the last second , or a month in when i return from my trip ....great guys , you know who i am talking about if you are reading this ! The constant struggle to find players to play for the Ghetto Blasters continues , it is really hard to find a good guy that will be a good dressing room presence and a good player at the same time .
Luckily we have a few scouts on our team particularly Chad Dobbin. Chad brought us our latest addition right before Christmas ( yes i said Christmas ) ....enter Josh McKarney . Now when Chad brings me a player i usually have enough trust to know that he is not bringing us a lemon , but this time he was bringing us an American guy ???? From Florida ??? yeah hockey is flourishing down there , and in my spirit of having foreigners join our club i welcomed Josh with open arms .
Right off the bat i could see that Josh would be a great fit with the team , he is a bit younger than most of us which means a + on the enthusiasm side ! Our first icetime with Josh was in an exhibition game and Josh was willing to play anywhere ....amazing . Another utility player . Now i don't mean to knock any American hockey players as i know that there are tons of amazing hockey players down there , i was just a bit surprised that we were getting a Floridian ( that might i add can play hockey :) . Josh has played 3 games for us so far and that is why i don't have any pics to post of him , but i am sure that he will be Ghetto for a long time coming . As of now Josh is probably hopping on a plane to head back to Toronto to play hockey for us ! like i said the kid has alot of enthusiasm , with comments like " i never thought i would be into hockey so much again " , this after a tough loss last weekend to a rival team .
The fact that you are on a plane right now , rushing back to play for the Ghetto Blasters is enough reason for me to write a blog about you . Tonight you are playing D , see you at the rink .
