The Plight of the Turbo

The Turbo, what a dichotomy of a man. On one hand, an unselfish friend who will give you the hair off his chest, yet will also take a breakaway and knowing he will not score, still try, instead of just trying to hold up and wait for someone else to join the rush.

In the first episode of Wounded Moose TV, Team USA experiences some of the "little" joys of life!

Turbo does FLOOR ICE!

We all know and love Turbo! He is a man's man. Some would say that isn't too cool in a dressing room full of straight dudes, but for Turbo, he could be in love with a sheep and a Macau monkey and we wouldn't mind, well kind of. Turbo had many endearing qualities that makes him a valued member of the Wounded Moose. He always pays on time and is usually the first to, which in Matt Kelly's books, that makes him the Captain. To the rest of us, not at all. Recently, Turbo took his legendary status to another level with what we like to call "Caveman drinks beer from glacier ice"

As you can see in this series of photos, Turbo goes from discovering beer frozen in a block of ice, to chiseling away at it with such precision, that some of us wonder if he is indeed human. Now, I know what you are wondering, and yes, I can answer for you. You are wondering if Turbo learned how to get beer out of a block ice while studying interior design (I think he is an interior designer, he always remodels his basement on the computer...). In short, NO. Turbo did not learn it in his academic pursuits in a post-secondary establishment, but rather in the dark and twisted underworld of shag carpeting.

Yes, Turbo used to be involved in shag carpeting. Why you may ask? The Turbo was a confused individual growing up, and as such, experimented with many different carpet varieties. For a while, he was a big fan of Saxony carpet. For those that don't know, Saxony is very similar to velvets but not quite as smooth. It has a soft texture created by twisting fibres tightly, then straightening the yarn with heat. What initially turned Turbo on to this (retains foot and vacuum marks) ultimately was the same thing that turned him off. He ventured away from the cut pile carpets into the world of Loop Pile carpets, which include the famous Berber, Cable, and more economical Sisal. While Turbo would spend his nights with his Berber varietals, he would meet an unsavoury character who would bring him back into the cut pile variety of SHAG carpets. This seedy underworld of Shag followers would freeze their beer in blocks of ice. Why? They knew that their cut pile carpets were more durable then any loop pile variety, and so would make sure no one would be able to take their beer from them as the loop pile carpets would rip when bashing the block to get to the beer.

Luckily, this story has a happier ending then what it could of. While being initiated into the gang of Shag carpets, Turbo spotted a car. Not just any car, but a car that would forever change Turbo's life! I will fast forward, but the essence of the story is that Turbo broke himself free from the carpet world to the world of really intense yellow painted Audi's. Some might say this was a step back for Turbo, into another dark world of fanatical cult members who post all day on forums about who has the best after market throttle body mounting gasket in their car. All we know is that Turbo retained some of the lessons of his past, and has saved many a beer. To this, we raise a bottle and cheer Turbo, former Shag carpet cult member, current I would bang my Audi if I could leader!

Cheers Turbo!

Can you blend it?

For those that are unaware of this fantastic time waster, the CAN YOU BLEND IT series of videos from Blendtec is simply fascinating. The man in the lab coat, Tom Dickson, is a genius of our time. Blending anything and everything, he provides great insight into the fragile nature of our world. Reminding us, that while you might like your iPhone or iPad (if you buy into that marketing CRAP), it can be returned to its base form in a mere 20 seconds by the Blendtec 20 AMP blender. Offering a 10-year warranty and a $999.95 price tag, the Tom Dickson Extreme Blender is a thing of engineering marvel.

Please enjoy these videos as we will be featuring a new one each week. This first one is dedicated to Matt Kelly and his iPhone.

Finally, An Answer To The Question Where's Aldo?

One of the major mysteries surrounding the Wounded Moose, besides what disaster might next befall Ox's battered penis, is where is Aldo? The Coach is a worldwide celebrity, known from North York to as far away as Southern North York. One wonders how such an icon could avoid detection. Well, it turns out he's been doing what many of us suspected: training to become an elite UFC championship fighter:


UFC CHAMPION ALDO TO DEFEND TITLE AT UFC 129 IN TORONTO

Incorrectly listed here as a featherweight, Aldo is obviously looking to drop a few dozen pounds before his marquee match-up in Toronto this spring. He will likely use the excursion to Niagara Falls as Rocky used that winter retreat from his battle against the Russian in Rocky IV. If that fails, Aldo has cleverly crafted a secret program to confuse his opponent by cloning himself, seen here in this government photo taken some years ago.

Warning, if you pass one on the street, do not feed an Aldo clone after midnight. They will likely get into their truck and hit your parked vehicle causing hundreds of dollars in spoiled Elk meat.

Wounded Moose Recruit?

I know you have all been watching the World Junior tournament in search of potential recruits for the Moose. I think we should try to pick this guy up for the Niagara Falls tourney. Any thoughts? He seems to have real potential.

P.S. The look of happiness on his face at 0:17 is just amazing.

The PHN 3rd Annual "Celebration of Hockey" Golf Tournament

PHN Presents: 3rd Annual "Celebration of Hockey" Golf Tournament from Pro Hockey Network on Vimeo.

The Pro Hockey Network's Annual "Celebration of Hockey" Golf Tournament was a huge success this past year (2010). Have a peek into just some of the fun we had!

For those that didn't attend from the Moose, you missed out on a great day! Our very own Jay Stevens, Sam Meneskas, Jim Younker, Turbo, 25, and well, maybe you might notice some other dude on our squad who makes a frequent appearance in the video!

Matt Kelly was behind the camera all day in this introspective piece about how a hockey team and league can actually golf. I leave the final decision to you, but one this is for sure, Mr. Kelly has now signed on for the 4th Annual PHN Golf Tournament, and so should you!

Coincidentally, we would have a Wounded Moose theme at the next one. We spare no limits except financial ones, and then that is debatable about what we do to make the day over the top. Our MC Morgan Matthews does pro bono work which helps, and Turbo is a fierce enforcer of the rules of golf, none of which I actually know or care about.

Details to come soon, but for now, enjoy the video Matt put together!
