Cowboys Begin Final 2013 Season Ahead of the Herd

It would seem that the Canadian Cowboys want to enter the 2014 year having made a name for themselves. After a July Elite League Title win - the ice in the Saddledome a portrait of their recent victory - the Cowboys went into the final 2013 season ready to finish the year with gusto. After their first few games of back and forth hockey, the boys decided it was time to make their country proud. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Six wins in a row. Seven. Eight. Nine. Nine in a row - the Cowboys seemed unstoppable. And for a while longer they were. Sixteen games later, the Cowboys were finally delivered their 3rd loss of the August 2013 season. Each member of the team played a pivotal role in these consecutive victories - each member except for their veteran right defenseman Jacques Bonjour (Montreal, QC). Unfortunately, Jacques has been on a leave of absence for a family emergency - his last known location was at "Pas D'internet" general hospital in Montreal.

"We obviously have high hopes that [Bonjour] will make a return for the onset of the 2014 year. It's been good to see some of the other guys step up defensively to take his place, though" commented the Canadian Cowboy coach. "We're definitely excited to have him back."

Slick Rick Not Feeling So Slick

Drew Perryman (Halifax, Nova Scotia) who is a highly skilled sniper for the Cowboys has recently lost his voice and has not been attending practice or games due to this new affliction. Slick Nips was a player that could be found on the ice most Fridays and Saturday nights and the odd weekday but he has not stepped a foot inside the Saddledome for quite some time. Many players on the Cowboys are quite worried about their snipers status.

"I've really missed feeding wet passes to that nuggethead," says Cowboy Tough-Guy Froggy Fresh.

"Nobody knows how to put that puck bar down as soupy as Slick can. Some utter words that he's glitching but I think it's just pure soup," reports dangle-specialist Bumbai.

"CHRISTMAS CRACKERS!" - yelled Big City Ken.

"Do you like my sword, sword, sword my diamond sword, sword, you cannot afford, afford, my diamond sword, sword.... sorry what's the question? Oh ya, I miss that guy," sang Jay and Dan Podcast.

The Canadian Cowboys are keeping their fingers crossed that Slick finds his voice again and steps foot on the ice before the end of the NHL 13 year and if not then, hopefully for the start of NHL 14. He is a big part of the Cowboys lethal offense and every player could use a bit more Slick Nips in their lives.
