Official Press Release

- GUPPIES CLEAN UP! BEATING THE BIOHAZARD 7-5 -

Glastonbury, CT April 23, 2003. ZRink - Killingworth Guppies victory number one of spring 2003 season.

4/23/03- The Killingworth Guppies started the Spring 2003 season right where they left off, Winning!!! Wednesday night's game was the 25th game at the Zrink for our beloved fish. Going in 24-0-0, many thought the Guppies time to lose had come. With any new season there are troubles and difficulties getting back into the rythm of things and that was true in the Guppies case.The BioHazard starting the scoring when the Guppies defense was caught sleeping giving up a breakaway. "Meirk and I were selling each other out" stated Guppies Defenseman Rob Murphy(1-0-1). The Guppies wouldn't take long to strike back as Marc Crayton(3-0-3) buried a pass from Brian Mulcahy(1-3-4). The two teams would trade goals through the middle of the first half but the BioHazard then started to pull away. They would score 2 quick goals late in the first giving then the 4-2 lead. The Guppie fans were in shock of Linskey's performance "Linskey looked awful tonight". In the locker room after game Linskey spoke about his game "4 goals on 5 shots..... I'm not good!" Down 4-3 heading into the second the Guppies would tie the score off a Tim Poulin(1-1-2) "Laser" from the top of the circles. That Goal opened the flood gates as Murphy, Mulcahy, and Crayton added second half goals. The Defense was questionable as Kelly, Carroll, Murphy, and Mierkeiwicz didn't have the best of nights. The Guppies face off next on Wednesday April 30, 2003 at 700pm vs the Knights. Good Seats are still available.

Side Notes:
- Jason Zito and Brendan Leahy were both healthy scratches on Wednesday night.
-Tim Poulin played in his first Guppies game going 1-1-2. Tim was originally drafted by the Gupps in 1996 but contract talks went south and he was eventually released. The Guppies re-drafted Tim this season.
-Crayton's third goal of the evening was actually scored by BK but Crayton told the ref that he wasn't sure if he tipped it in.
- The Guppies are now 25-0-0 since moving to the Z-rink
