Hounds Plan Drinking Contest, Callum MacElroy Cleans Out Team's Entire Supply of Alcohol Before it Even Starts

[Gustav 6,469]

MISSISSAUGA--After the Hounds snapped their 15-game cold streak with four wins in their last five games, the team decided to celebrate Monday night by proving that the old-school, drunken spirit of hockey back in the day hadn't quite died out. After the team's upset of the Ottawa Lynx, a rare game in which Ottawa ended up being outright outplayed in addition to simply being outscored, a small group of players decided to take part in a drinking contest to celebrate. Cases upon cases of cheap beer were brought back to the clubhouse, and once general manager Jerry Garcia left for the night, the team was set to break into the festivities. 

 

After Garcia had left, though, the door to the supply closet where the stash was hidden was opened, revealing that what had been hidden hadn't exactly gone untouched--every single can was sitting empty in one corner, and in the other corner was a passed-out Callum MacElroy, who had evidently gone through and (quite impressively) managed to finish off every can available. 

 

When asked about the incident, MacElroy said, "Nobody tauld me abit a skitin' contest. Ah jist saw a pile ay swally an' decided Ah shoods tak' jist a wee bit afair a' fowk else got tae it. It shooldnae be a surprise 'at Ah loch tae gie blooter'd." 

 

MacElroy's reputation as the team's resident alcoholic has somehow not translated to being held back on the ice, as he finds himself in the middle of a solid season after producing reasonably average numbers last season in Houston. Garcia could not be reached for further comment.
