The Legendary Flying Fathers hockey team will be facing off against the Thorold Mount Old-Timers this Wednesday, Nov. 20, 7 p.m. The game will provide a lot of fun and support to two local charities.
The team, that features as much comedy as hockey skill, is often compared to the famed Harlem Globetrotters.
So, ThoroldNews has come up with ...
The Top 10 Reasons the Flying Fathers are better than the Globetrotters:
10) Snappier uniforms
9) Short enough to see their faces
8) Like true Canadians, they would rather slam-dunk a Timmy’s donut
7) Tastier pies, nicer confetti
6) The Globetrotters' goalie sucks
5) It’s like Disney on Ice, only in black and white
4) Sister Mary Shooter would make quick work of a Meadowlark or Goose
3) Fathers have pipeline to “The Big Guy”
2) Pretty sure the Globetrotters never donated to the Thorold breakfast program
1) IT’S HOCKEY!
Tickets to the Thorold game cost $10 each, and are available in area Catholic parishes, NCDSB schools, and in the Gale Centre for the Niagara Falls game, and at Front Row Sports in Thorold and the Thorold Arena for the Thorold game. The game in Niagara Falls is scheduled for Nov. 19.
"The Mounts will pay for the ice and make a donation afterward, and all money raised will stay in Thorold, with half going to the St. Vincent de Paul food bank and the rest to Thorold school breakfast clubs,” John Kenny of the Mounts told ThoroldNews.
