blast from the past

here is the SNVII leeter that went out in february 05....for the record...you know who.....the King of All things Nikeee doesn't drink strong beers like Heineken.

“ If you only knew what I’m going through…I just can’t smile without (brew) You”
Chaz ?


Contrary to popular belief, this quote was not lifted from a lovesong I penned to
Budweiser during a Gulf Cruise circa 1988. It is attributed to the late great Barry Manilow , who was tragically murdered by an obsessed fan NEXT Month in Las Vegas Nevada. A crazed head linesman lept upon the stage and began stabbing poor Barry
As a favor to childhood friend Steve Mcevoy



“ A long, Long time ago…I can still remember how the music used to make me smile” D. Mclean


And Thus Hockey too takes on a Hollyesque feel to it. It seems like a long time ago that we watched a meaningful game and gave a Shiite muslim about the outcome.
I can not and will not try to capture the collective opinions of the vast Sweater Night Family, But I can tell you that I do not really care about the lockout/strike. The truth is I have been missing the Real NHL since the mid 1990’s. In fact it is that longing for the Olde Tyme game that gave birth to Sweater night in the first place.



“Cat on a tin Roof……Dog in a Pile….Nothin left to do but Smile, Smile , SMILE !!!
J. Garcia

And just what are we smiling about ? Swetaer Night 7 …..A Kegtravaganza
Icy Cold Heinieken to be exact…to heck with the northern exposure frogs….we’re going Nazi this year…….

answer to 7/21 question

yours truly and Te Jean Cadotte are the only two lads to appear at every Sweater night.....my former head Linesman Chaz Higgins was working on perfect attendance, but chose to attend a sweet 16 party on staten island instead of attending SN8........he was immediately stripped of his title........hopefully he got lucky at the party.....

today question is: "What Teams have your President and Founder (me) Represented over the prior 8 Sweater Nights" ?

Roger (Uh dude) can't geuss at this question because he is part frog and liable to stab a friend in the back with a dagger if not watched closely.

free order of chicken wings to the winner

question of the day

who are the only two skaters to make an appearance at the previous 8 sweater nights??

Qoute of the day

There's no need to fear! Underdog is here!
when criminals in this world appear
and break the laws that they should fear
and frighten all who see or hear
the cry goes up both far and near
for Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!

speed of lightning, roar of thunder fighting all who rob or plunder Underdog. Underdog!

when in this world the headlines read
of those whose hearts are filled with greed
who rob and steal from those who need
to right this wrong with blinding speed
goes Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!
speed of lightning, roar of thunder fighting all who rob or plunder Underdog. Underdog

New Sweater Night Ramblers

The New Sweater Night Ramblers were unceremoniously DUMPED as the House Band for SN IX ( svetter nite nien). Now it turns out Mac & Caddotte ( I refuse to adress their other so-called band name) want back in to play at the upcoming gala. I have decided to put it to a vote amongst the plankowners of the Sweater Night Foundation. Please carefully consider all the factors of the past 6 months or 41 years before casting your vote
