Probably not much chance of getting much pond hockey ice time here in Nashville... Boston team wins pond hockey crown for 2nd year WebPosted Sun, 20 Feb 2005 19:16:35 EST CBC News PLASTER ROCK, N.B. - Four Canadian expatriates from the Boston area braved blowing winds and a temperature of 24 C to win the World Pond Hockey Championship, becoming the first team to bag the tournament twice. The Boston Danglers beat the Stately Elms Fallen Leafs 14 to 8 in the final game Sunday afternoon in Plaster Rock, in northwestern New Brunswick. It marked the second-straight victory for the team Rob Atkinson, 35, formerly of Moncton, N.B., Mark Goble, 32, formerly of Ottawa, Cooper Naylor, 34, formerly of Pictou, N.S., and Mark Cornforth, 32, formerly of Montreal. All of the men now live in or near Boston, Mass. Ninety-six teams of four travelled from all over North America and beyond to compete this weekend at the four-year-old event. The winners will take home a wooden award modeled after the Stanley Cup. |
