"Kohler has been a relative non-factor other than scoring the goal."
-- Play-by-play of a football (soccer) match

Bet you didn’t know I played hockey

This could get me into trouble, but you guys deserve the truth.

I’ve been a professional hockey player in the NHL for a long time. Due to discrimination, I’ve been forced to wear a human disguise because the league thinks people aren’t ready to accept an eggish player yet.

The photo below is the engraving made on the Stanley Cup after I helped the Maple Leafs win a title in 1945:

By the way, if you noticed “ass man” by F.J. Selke’s entry, that was not his nickname, it was how “assistant manager” was abbreviated.

    Yes, yes, but what about ass train (next to Arc Campbell)? Naughty…

    There is just a wealth of material here; “Happy Day” Coach? Ted Kennedy? Mascot, I’ve heard the rumors that you and Ted Kennedy once went drinking after a road game in Boston, there was a car accident and Conn Smythe’s pet python drowned…but I never believed a word of it. Until now.

    Not to go off topic…Ok screw it

    I think we should have a tournament of Leppers! We (you) could do it on Chess.com. You can actually set up a tournament and it’s free!

    @Chessaholic: I must defer to the Mascot for the story. Sorry.

    @Robert: LOL, I completely missed “Happy Day” somehow. As far as the rumors…I’ll need to see what the Mascot has to say for himself.

    @Wang: I agree. Memorial Day will be a good chance for me to set it up.

    Of course, we need more than 2 entries this time, and I need to handle it better than Lepers 2.

    1. So, the “ass train” story. Arc was a businessman, and he tried to open a fast food restaurant named “The Ass Train”.

    Unfortunately for him, Ray Kroc’s “McDonald’s” was more marketable.

    2. YES, that story’s true. And sure as heck I wasn’t crying when his python died.

    It was a female python, and it sometimes tried to coil around me. Thought I was one of her eggs. Everyone on the team laughed about it everytime it happened.

    Being that Mr. Smythe was that snake’s owner, I couldn’t say much about it. But, now…man, I miss those days.
