In JOHNNY’S ICE HOUSE, July 19, 2015.
The unanimous Declaration of the twelve Red Liners of CGHA,
When in the Course of hockey games, it becomes necessary for one team to dissolve the sporting pleasantries which have connected them with other teams, and to assume among the powers of the rink, the separate and equal game situations to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of skills requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the matchup.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all players are not created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable skills, that among these are Skating, Shooting, and the pursuit of Hockey pucks.
That to secure these skills, Teams are instituted among Players, deriving their just skills from the experiences over time, That whenever any Form of Game becomes unbalance of these ends, it is the Right of the Team to alter or to abolish their play, and to institute new Strategies, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its options in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Scoring changes and Goals.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Red Liners; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Play. The history of the present Opponents of C2 Division is a history of repeated Wins and loses, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Dominating Team over these Opponents. To prove this new Team, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
The Preston Kendalls had scored back-to-back goals in the first seven minutes.
Baby of the Red Liners had scored a short handed goal in the closing minutes of the first period.
Twink had scored an opening goal in the second period. This was followed by Baby scoring a few minutes later. Twink had scored again at the six minute mark to push a two goal advantage.
The Preston Kendalls did score a power play goal in the closing minutes of the second period. The would also score the next goal at the start of the third period.
Twink had a hat trick with his third goal three minutes later.
The Preston Kendalls answered with their last goal less than a minute later.
Baby had one more goal while Twink had two more goals before the end of the third period.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our C2 Opponents. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their teams to extend a victory over us. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, hold them, as we hold the rest of the C2 Division, Serious Opponents for the Championship.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the Red Liners of CGHA, in Johnny’s Ice House, Assembled, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good Players of this Team, solemnly publish and declare, That these Red Liners are, and of Right ought to be Team to be Reckoned; And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Jerseys, our Sticks and our sacred Logo.
