After a gritty and gutsy performance, the Farmer Boy hockey team came out as champs of the Body Zone A hockey Tournament by defeating the aggressive Phantoms on Friday. Team USA didnt know if it was the pep talk before the game from goalie Scottie Donofrio or the inspiration they received from getting one of their allstar veterans back from the IR, but Farmer Boy came out flying right from the first faceoff. JR Weiler hit the post twice in his first two shifts of the game setting the pace for the offense. The game remained scoreless for much of the first until all-time Farmer Boy scoring leader Mitch Hertzler released a wicked backhander over the Phantome goalie to give FB the 1-0 lead. It didnt take long to get the 2nd goal as Troy Hertzler scored his next shift despite being plagued with a bad shoulder from an untimely deck demolition incident. Farmer continued to score and never looked back winning the game 8-0 giving goaltender Scott Donofrio his first shutout. Scoring for Team USA was Mitch Hertzler, Troy Hertzler (2), JR Weiler (2), Jesse Aungst with an amazing individual effort, Larry Boy Huber keeping his scoring streak alive, and John Weiler with the doorstep slam dunk. The game was testy right from the start with the second period being filled with penalties, blood, and flying body checks from Amish players. The record crowd in the stands got worked up when young Jesse Aungst took a dirty hit blooding his nose. He sat on the bench for few minutes draing his nose into a grbage can. The Phantoms player received a 4 minute double minor. The story of the game surrounded the many scouts in the stands from the Reading Royals who were in attendance to watch FB forward "lamp lighter" JR Weiler and he didnt disappoint with 5 breakaways and two goals. One of the scouts made the comment, "Some people campare him to Jim Dowd of the Flyers as they have similar body types and skating styles. He would be a great addition to the Royals." JR is not committing at this time saying he just wants to enjoy this victory for a while then get with his wife in a week or so and discus his future. Notes: When defensemen Martin Weaver for the Phantoms was interviewed after the game he said, "79 is the most solid player I have ever tried to body check." ... This is the first team FB has won this tournament... Farmer Boy fans have much to celebrate but are also still concerned for next year with so many free agents. Of concern is of course Willie Weiler, Troy Hertzler and Kurt Good who has been holding out the last few weeks for more money. Also, restricted free agents Derrick Martin and Jesse Aungst can expect an offer sheets from other teams if FB doesnt work out some kind of deal within the next few weeks... Duane Weiler did not play due to ankle problems. Looking forward to a great season next year.

as GM, of this team i wanted to tell u #25 we can not offer u a set contract due to inconsistancy,injury and decressed production. however i beleave wecan come to an agree ment that will be incentive based only. i have decided to look at how other teams reward there players for scoring goals after some review i have decided to use the system set in place by the flyers where they score for abox of tastykakes. due to lack of ticket sales we can not do that but insted will give a single twinkie as an incentive. if you wish to accept this offer there is a clause we will also need to add that will not allow you to opperate a chain saw or any other tool for any kind of demoliton of any thing. please have your agent contact me as soon as possible.thank you p.s willie you will recive an offer in next few day altho you may feel free to test the market we feel the line of intrested teams is much shorterthan u think most teams have enough (old guys)vetreans.

troy has informed me his agent to accept any offer that is made from farmer boy. he feels as if he has made so much money playing hockey in the past that he would like to see his linemate willie cash in. he also would like the opportunity to continue to show JR how to finish on a breakaway.

Quiz, With all due respect, how many times, if any, has Farmer Boy been shut out?
