A GOOD SUMMER ON PAPER, WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS

Nick and Ian are good on paper
CoCo Kiwi (ESPI4th) -Jacob,Toni,Nick Kruse

Boston Bike Polo enjoyed podiums galore this summer making it one hot summer on paper for the best club in the East. Big ups to Jacob from Copenhagen and Nick Kruse from COMO (ESPI MVP), who joined some of our teams to add depth and euro style. Both of them are now honorary life long BBP members and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with them for future events. Nick Regan teamed up with Ian(RVA) and Mike (DC) at the Last Stand Again in Burlington Vermont and won it beating the reining champs in a 2 leg final. Nick walked away with the MVP award.

 

Although every team in Boston qualified for the North American Championships very easily, we did not send any players or teams, which was a bit of a disappointment for us, but a bonus for everybody else who went. By the looks of things only 2 or 3 players from the whole East coast actually flew out Calgary anyhow, so no shame in staying home and saving the pennies.  It looks like there will be only one player from Boston going to the Worlds in Seattle in a few weeks. Good luck Jav who is playing with Jonny & Pierre from Wisconsin. We all want to be there with our close friends and champions from Seattle but timing, money and distance were all against us this time….

 

HOCKEY TOWN BOSTON – WINTER LOCK IN

It has been almost a month since Boston threw a monster of an indoor event. 26 teams with the best players in the World in attendance. So much to say but I cant be bothered. The highlights for Boston was our A team (Nick(best man), Tony & Neil Young) coming 8th overall, beating Machine Politics of Chicago (Runner up in the World Championships, in the Swiss Rounds on day 1. Then on the sunday double elim they got knocked out by the World Champions by a sudden death goal, but it really could have gone either way.

Here are the results:
