Back to the Future

by SCOOP DAPOOP

In the most astonishing development in CPHL’s short history, the league and it’s commissioners today announced 2 expansion teams will be added to the fold for the 2005-2006 season. League commissioner Dayel “oldie but moldie” Petersen convened an unexpected news conference earlier today and dropped the bombshell on the collected media. Stunned silence was followed by the first question from Fatty McButterpants of the Edmonton Sun inquiring “where exactly are these teams to be located?” Commisioner Petersen then handed the duties over to fellow bigwig “Flambers”, who stated simply, and with a big smile, “we will have two more Canadian franchises, one in Winnipeg and one in Quebec City”. At this announcement, the room began to roar its approval.

Clearly this action could not of been taken lightly, and when queried about the chain of events that led to todays shocker, Petersen had this to say. “Well we started this process about 2 years ago and have kept it confidential because we didn’t want to get anyones hopes up in case something went wrong, and the process had to be pulled back.

Thanks to an exhaustive effort from long missing commissioner T99, (pat pat) the realization of a long time goal is now very near. We have a couple things we need to still work on such as an expansion draft, solid leases for the stadiums, a divisional and conference realignment, and filling the GM roles for the new squads, but those things will be decided among the leagues executives as well as input from every GM under contract come the conclusion of this season”.

In a brave effort to expand the fledgling leagues seemingly endless popularity, this decision comes as a prelude to some rule changes that will also be discussed among GM’s before implementation.

Flashbacks of a Dale Hawerchuk saucer pass, a Michel Goulet wrister, or an Eddy Olczyk howitzer, will now be rivaled by future stars in those respective, and respected, uniforms of days gone by.

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the Jets and the Nordiques…part deux.
