Let me tell you about hard times on ice, if you will, at 9:30 at night, when honest, hard-workin’ folks oughta be home sleepin’… but NO, BABY — they were down at Southgate Arena, December 15th, 2025, watchin’ what the league had the nerve to call a “positional round.”
Now picture this, daddeh — last place Galaxies… lookin’ up from the bottom of the barrel, starin’ across the ice at the next-to-last Aerostars. That ain’t the penthouse, baby, that’s the boiler room! That’s where dreams go to catch the flu — and WOOO, the Galaxies literally caught the flu, if you weeel.
Men droppin’ like flies, coughin’, sneezin’, beggin’ for mercy. In come Dan Vincent and Steve Harris, lacin’ ‘em up like cavalry ridin’ in late to the Alamo.
Their goalie Adams? Supposed to be punchin’ a clock at the rink, baby — but HARD TIMES said, “No sir.” So he worked his shift instead, and the Galaxies said, “Anybody got skates?”
And then, daddeh… ohhh then came a move that had folks clutchin’ their pearls. A league-sanctioned move, baby — but controversial like polka dots on a tuxedo. Between the pipes… RUSS NICHOLLS. FHL alum. A name that echoes. A man who said, “I’ll stop pucks, daddeh, while the world questions it.”
And the bell rang.
Rochna, baby — that man struck first, halfway through the first period.
BOOM.
Then early in the second, he did it again. DOUBLE BARREL, daddeh!
The Galaxies said, “We ain’t dead yet.”
Third period rolls around, and Alderman comes powerin’ in from the right side, muscles strainin’, dreams on his back — drives straight to the front of the net like a man payin’ rent late — 3–0, Galaxies, if you weeeel!
Late in the game, when legs are heavy and lungs are burnin’…
Dan Vincent — the sub, the stand-in, the man off the bench — tips one home.
And just to put a bow on it, Gates adds another one and Russ slams the door shut. 5–0.
A clean sheet. A statement, daddeh.
And after ALL that…
after the flu, the subs, the shift work, the controversy, the courage…
The Galaxies?
Still in last place.
The Aerostars?
Still next to last.
That’s right, baby.
Same spots. Same struggle.
So I ask you, hockey fans, dreamers, and believers in the midnight ice…
HOW’S THAT FOR POSITIONIN'?
Because in the world of beer league hockey — just like life —
hard times don’t care about the scoreboard, daddeh…
…but the fight?
The fight is what matters.
