HERE COME THE IRISH   

The banner said it all. The Irish squad was going to be announced as participants in the S65 International Ice Hockey Federation tournament. There was a small podium in the corner with a single microphone looking like something from a different time that would be needed in a different place. It was never going to be used for this occasion.

As people started to stream into the room, each was handed a sheet with the names listed in stark green ink. Just a list of names and the nationalities for each player followed by their professional team. 

As those who were present looked around the room, they saw a table in the back, it was covered with pints of Guinness, small glasses of Jameson whiskey and plates of sandwiches. Almost as soon as people realized the Irish were going to have a team, mobile phones were whipped out, phone calls were made, texts were sent, word was getting out. The sharing of the messages was quickly followed by the downing of the Guinness and Jameson.

The music started to play and even though the nationalities didnt match, it seemed like a perfect fit, AC/DC boomed out as the lyrics of "Thunder Struck" reverberated around the room.

The list was simple and presented a team that included some other nationalities, but it was obvious they were pleased to be skating for the Irish.

G: Recently Tired    from the Atlanta Inferno   

D: Ruggs McOoooh    from the San Francisco Pride

F: Patrik Money    from the Edmonton Blizzard     
F: Patrick Shepherd    from the Philadelphia Forge    
F: Luka Magic    from the Anchorage Armada    

After the list in bold letters were these words:  Rumors of the Irish Team's demise has been greatly exaggerated.

Prepare to be....
THUNDERSTRUCK!!
