Milestones

January 12, 2012

Matt "Bonzi" Bonanno hit the
300 point milestone as a
Pigeon. He holds some
impressive personal records,
including the longest goal
scoring streak at 21 and
consecutive points streak at 37.

September 26, 2011

Brian Howe became the
second Pigeon to play in 700
career games for the franchise.
Over his career as a Dirty Bird,
he has compiled 774 points.,
The total is tops among all
Pigeons.

For the third straight game, Jeff Farenga played a vital role in the final
outcome as he continued his dominance between the pipes. In
Monday's tilt against the Rumble Fish, Farenga was a three on one
away from being perfect in net as he led his Pigeons to a 2 - 1 victory.

The tandem of Bryan "The Show" Lowe and Ryan McCrone were on
the same page early. McCrone dangled the puck past the defenders
and found an open B. Lowe. "The Show" scored his third of the
season. The pair have combined for sixteen points through three
games, each sharing the team lead with eight.

Late in the first, the Rumble Fish scored their only goal of the game as
Chip took a slapper from 16 feet out to even the score at 1 - 1.

As Farenga continued to frustrate the Rumble Fish in the second stanza,
the opponents turned to a physical style of play. While the Birds
ultimately were on five total power plays, they were not able to score a
single goal on the advantage.

Rumble Fish's Jason Young was up to the task in net for much of the
game as well. It took a little luck for the Birds to regain their
advantage. Brian Howe dumped the puck into his offensive zone.
Craig Kemmlein threw the puck on net that deflected off Hanna and
into the net. The goal was the game winner as the Birds picked up their
third win to start the season. Jeff Farenga was the number one star on
the night.

After exercising demons against McGrath's in an impressive 6 - 4
triumph, the Dirty Birds "faced off" with Todd Wiley and the Chili
Dawgs. Unlike last week's game, the Pigeons played with a lead for
most of the game. After hitting the rink from a line change, Matt
Bonanno alertly found an open Brian Howe that was camped in front of
Nick Garman's crease. Howe faked Garman with his shoulder and
backhanded the puck into the gaping net. For the second straight game,
Clowney took a Ryan McCrone offering and gave his Birds a 2 - 0
advantage. Craig Kemmlein kept the party going as he extended the
Pigeons lead to three goals as he picked up his second strike of the
season. Just before the half, Chip of the Chili Dawgs broke their goose
egg on the scoreboard as he sent a blue liner past an unsuspecting Jeff
Farenga just before the half.

The second half, Bryan "The Show" Lowe centered a pass that
Clowney buried to give his Birds the three goal advantage. As soon as
the Birds scored, Brett "The Coyote" Wiley slid the puck past Farenga
to pull his squad to 4 - 2. Ryan McCrone continued his dominance on
the rink as he scored his third goal of the season. After Wiley scored to
bring the Chili Dawgs to within two, the Pigeons looked to ice the
game. The Chili Dawgs opted to pull Garman to make a last run.
McCrone quickly dashed any hopes as he skated down on a two on
one and fed Clowney in front of the empty net. Clowney's third goal of
the game guaranteed the Pigeons their second win on the season. The
hat trick was Clowney's 13th in his lengthy career. For his efforts,
Clowney was awarded the number one star of the game.
