Ruination’s ‘Bring a Friend’ Policy Backfires

ANN ARBOR– The Millennial Generation proved overwhelming in Ruination’s disastrous decision to invite friends to come play in Tuesday night’s game against the Yaks C. “Once you factor in the so-called friends from Facebook, professional connections on LinkedIn, and any well-wishing followers from Twitter, we were lucky to keep the attendance down to 118 skaters,” noted GM Mark Zuckerwoods.

Ruination players patiently wait for their shift in Tuesday's 2-7 loss against the Yaks C team.

Added Zuckerwoods: “Hashtag… wait, that’s not mine.”

In fact, so many skaters showed up for the game, team coaches were forced to keep most players in the locker room, bringing out roughly 39 per period. “Each  player only got maybe two shifts,” noted Percy “Perso” N. Anongrata.

“We just never got in a rhythm,” said forward Chris Sutton, noting that playing two shifts and then leaving the ice to sit in the locker room for the remainder of the game may have contributed to that.

As a result, Ruination fell 2-7 to the Yaks.

“On the plus side,” noted Zuckerwoods, “It’s good to know that we’re very connected team, and it was a great chance to network.” Most of the networking took place in the penalty box, as all 31 minutes were covered under the 10 Gig family plan.
