Barb Bonnema Penguins 6 Glen Fenwick Red Wings 2

Four goals in the second period by the re-focused Barb Bonnema Penguins finished off the Fenwick Red Wings 6-2.  Ghengis Steeves, back to his old scoring ways, was responsible for 3 of the goals while Smiley Armstrong, Brian Beauregard and Nick Godwin each scored once.  In a noble gesture, Glen Fenwick goaltender Glen Fenwick, took full responsibility for the loss but was asked by his team mates to do it after the game next time.

 Player of the Week Profile- Up Close and Personal

 Name:                                    Steve “Suitcase” McDonald  

Team:                                     Barb Bonnema Penguins  #11

Position:                                Defence                                                                

Shoots:                                  Wide, high and to the dismay of his team….often.

Interesting Hockey Fact:   Original member of the Jebodiah Fenwick 9 Hockey League.  With the advent of the telephone it eventually became the 9-1-1 Hockey League.  In 2007, his high school hockey sweater was unearthed from the Lochiel St. School time capsule.

Beer League Central Scouting Report:  McDonald is a solid 2-way defenseman and an end to end threat.  Since turning in his call box key, McDonald has had difficulty making the early games as he rarely gets out of bed before the mall opens.  He is the only member of the 911 League to rely on hand-me-ups from his son who presently plays with the St. Louis Blues.  Even though he drank out of the Stanley Cup when his “chip off the old block” son Andy was with Anaheim, Suitcase lets everyone know it would taste like sour milk compared the sweetness of some day finally drinking from the 911 Stanley Keg.  His Anaheim Duck purple gloves go nicely with his powder blue Penguins jersey.
