It was a big day at Robert Morris University's Island Sports Center...
It seems that after the Colonial youth league won the championship last week...they couldn't get enough hockey...
So they challenged the parents!
Fortunately, the powers that be declared that it wouldn't be a kid vs. game, but instead divided the talent into two teams;
black shirts vs. white shirts!
The excitement was palpable...the crowd, including the very stylish Miss M...
could not wait to view the carnage!
In goal for the black team was the formidable Tyler M...
In goal for the white team was...
THE OTHER GOALIE!
It seemed like an easy victory for the black team...
They drove the white goalie crazy...
He dropped to his knees...
Was he praying, or merely getting ready to surrender?
The white team seemed to be waiting for something, someone..
when suddenly the ref seemed to be waving at someone.
Who could he be greeting?
Could it be, or were our eyes playing tricks on us?
It seems to be...
Mighty Manfred!
It was!
Mighty Manfred has come out of retirement to aid the floundering white team...
He calmly skates out onto the ice...
Over to the bench where he assures his team mates that 'he got this!'
And he did!
He skates...
He waits...
He intimidates!
A hush falls over the crowd as he bullies those kids half his age...
He's a selfless player, however...and he offers to act as a human Zamboni and dusts off the ice...
And he leads his team mates in a fearless attempt to dominate the ice...
During a much needed rest between periods, he graciously greets his fans...
(AKA a little kid who hung out on the bench and offered to clean the ice off his skates)
And back on the ice...
A quick glance down the ice...
There he is, the goalie for the black team!
Tyler the Terror!
Oh no!
Looking like the handsome little devil that he is,
but what he is not is prepared for the skilled players on the other team...
Suddenly, he realizes...his worst nightmare is coming to life...
Oh no!
The Mighty Manfred, AKA his cousin Tony, scores for the white team!
It ended up a tie game, which resulted in a shoot out.
To be honest, I don't know who won,
I don't know if the teams know...
All I know is that at the end of the game,
the fans saw, for possibly the first time ever...
the competing cousins,
~Manfred and Manfred~
leaving the ice!
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's the dynamic duo of
Manfred and Manfred!
After the ice chips settled...
Even top notch goalies needs a little help...
What fun!
What fun!
