AM Lumber has finally risen, and man, it feels good. Though you may not believe it, the amount of time for AM Lumber to get their first win only spanned five games. Despite near immediate success this early in the season, there are a few other highlights, and players, that have made themselves large to help the team.

 1. D-man Nick Bacigalupo remembered how to get to the rink on Monday night. Given his history of missing the exit on 202 and accidentally driving to Eerie, PA while on his way to play, the boys were riddled with joyous confusion when they saw their neglective teammate walk into the room 6 minutes before they took the ice.

2. New uni's are on the way. Sort of. FIAHL News sources confirmed Tuesday evening that they saw jerseys being shipped from Minnesota, en route to being stitched in PA. There's a good chance that AM Lumber jerseys may be giving the men's league a wake-up surprise at some point before the first half of the season is over. 

3. Rookie call-up Tyler Leivonen recorded his first shut out in the team's 6-0 defeat of the Buzzards Monday night. While some have argued that this an improvement over his 10 GAA the game prior, others have noted that his biggest positive change this week has been his impressive ability to slash opponents in the crease. AM Lumber goalie coaches have confirmed that they are spending at least 20 minutes each off-ice training practice chopping wood with Levonen, working on strengthening his slashing muscles and all around effectiveness.

4. D-man Rob Pellegrino scored on his boss 3 times, and is that much closer to making sure AM Lumber forward Joey Balsamo is unable to earn the team scoring title this season.

AM Lumber are set to play a huge rivalry game against the Chachis on Wednesday night. Puck drops at 10:30pm. Fans should remember to wear their favorite color of plaid. Due to the league's recent crackdown on gang-related attendance at games, however, there is a reminder that they may not wear yellow plaid into the building.
