Bandits Brass Scout New Talent in Brampton

Toronto - (Bandit Press) Toronto Bandits brass began scouting Major Junior players last week. Three Bandit officials were spotted at the Powerade Centre in Brampton last Thursday drinking beer, eating chicken hot dogs, some packed sandwiches, and they were occasionaly even seen paying attention to the play. It is anticipated the Bandits, having finished in last place this season, are trying to decide either to pick Brampton Battalion star Cody Hodgson or newly acquired London Knights Center John Tavares as the overall #1 pick in the upcoming TNHL spring draft. Both players were in action last thursday when the trio of Bandits officials attended the drubbing of the Knights at the hands of the Battalion by a score of 5 to 1. Here are four photos of the evening by photog extraordinaire Peeper Posluns. Click on the image for a larger view.

Bandits Lose Despite Absence of Prata

Toronto - (Bandit Press)
Always imaginative and creative, the Bandits managed to lose in a big way again last night 6-0 despite the absence of G. Prata and the presence of "One-Skate" Jake Locicero.

Heading into the playoffs, the Bandits had shown promise in the last two games winning one and tying another against the first place team. Despite the apparent disadvantage going into the playoffs, the Bandits are still confident they can take it all and carry home brand-spanking new 50% polyester 50% Cotton Championship T-shirts once again this year. Asked about their chances, D. Papadatos was adamant that the Bandits were a team "Built for the Playoffs". A phrase that was used to describe the Bandits time and again when they were winning back to back to back championships in the Greater Toronto Women's Hockey League in the early 1990's.

It's time to let those beards grow and to shave your legs as the first round of the playoffs start next week. Bandits take on Bone's Brigade next Tuesday Feb. 24 9:20 on Rinx 1. To be eligible for playoff action, players must have participated in at least seven games.
