Nauyans Crushed at Home

In a surprising upset, the Anchorage Rockhoppers beat the Nauyans 4-3 on their home turf last night. Coach Kvasnikoff puts the weight of the blame on Ivan Qiss'nguaq, the team's left defenseman, who passed out ten minutes into the first period. With no alternate players to take over Qiss'nguaq's position, the team had to continue to maneuver around the body on the ice or else forfeit the game.

The team was, however, quite excited about their new playing area. Family members of the team shoveled out a nice flat surface on the beach yesterday afternoon, complete with waist-high berms akin to the walls of the fancy Anchorage rink.

The Nauyan's next game will be October 25 at the Sunnyvale Chum-Dome.
