ROOKIE BARTON CONTINUES RAMPAGE: Rueters News Service, March 28, 2007

The sellout crowd at the IHWC was rewarded last night with a career high performance from rookie Sean 'Pea Pants" Barton as he rang the bell twice in the first period. Barton had also scored in his previous game against a large, black plastic sheet with holes cut in it, making for a three goal performance in juts two games. What the spark behind Barton's performance has suddenly become the grist for the locker room rumor mill. When reached at her vacation trailer in Otway Ohio, Barton's wife further primed the speculation with her statement that maybe if she painted the lawnmower like a Zamboni, Barton might be inclined to push it once in a while. Statement form the opposing side did nothing to quell the controversy "I don't know if it is steroids, blood doping, or what, but when you see a Rudi like that put two in the goal that quick, something's not right" said a big guy no one knew. However, League Commissioner Kevin "Oh" Lord brought a well grounded view "Did you see him at the beginning of the season, I mean, he had to improve, right?"

With the two goals came news that Barton had been elevated to the D4 level for the spring season. Barton was elated 'It doesn't matter that there no longer is a D5, the point is I am D4 now, with my sights set on D1". Barton said his strategy is simple "I don't pass, and don't intend to, when I get the puck I shoot it toward the goal, and when I don't have the puck, I stand in front of the goal, this isn't about 'team' play, it's about me, and my team-mates need to understand that". When reached in his IHWC team office for comment, league president Steve" anyone up for a summer league" Bolyard simply asked if anyone wanted to play hockey after open hockey.

Next up for Barton is a Sunday league game where he hopes to continue this impressive streak.
