Beer League Hockey, The Movie



If you are looking for the beer league baseball movie, sorry, we are talking about hockey. There is a feature film looking to get produced that sums up what all of us beer league hockey players experience once or twice a week. The trailer is great and, of course, the caveat is they need money to produce the movie, Beer League. Check out the Beer League Hockey trailer at, http://www.zoomcom.ca/beerleague/. At the very least, you will get a good picture of what most beer league hockey teams are made up of. Come to think of it, there is a lack of beer being shown in the lock room scenes and they did forget the carb loading that goes on pre-game and post-game. Enjoy!

Sidney Crosby became the youngest player to win the NHL scoring title this season and is now the youngest team captain in league history.

"Sidney has done so much for this franchise in his first two seasons, made so much history, that you have to keep reminding yourself that he is only 19 years old," Penguins general manager Ray Shero said on the team's official website.


"It is obvious to all of us — coaches, players, management, staff — that he has grown into the acknowledged leader of the Pittsburgh Penguins. It is only appropriate that he wears the 'C' as team captain.”


Crosby, who won't turn 20 until August, served as an alternate captain while topping the NHL with 120 points (36 goals, 84 assists) in his second season, earning him a nomination for the league's most valuable player award.


"I was always told that age is just a number," Crosby said. "I try not to let it get in the way of anything."
