Geeks to Rumble

We'll it's confirmed for the week of Sept 4th. The Geeks of Metro Moncton take on the Tradesmen of Old Moncton in a game of old fashioned "Knock'em Sock'em" road hockey at the marche farmers market off Main St. on the weekend of the September 9th.

The reason? Paperny Films is shooting a new television show across Canada called "Road Hockey Rumble" that will be featured on the OLN fall schedule. The producers have selected 13 progressive cities to take part in the filming and contacted me a few months ago to see if the Geeks wanted to take on the challenge.

Road Hockey Rumble (http://www.roadhockeyrumble.com/) features 2 hosts that hit the road, playing their way across Canada in a 13 game grudge match series of Road Hockey. In the process, they tap into the rivalries, legends and elbow-to-the-face grit of Canada’s most colorful and competitive towns. Friends in life but rivals on the Road Hockey court, the hosts will draft their own team of locals and duke it out in a balls-out rumble on the asphalt jungle. For Moncton, it's the Geeks (Knowledge Industry) vs. Railroad!

Each host will draft a team from the best Geeks and Conductors available to slug it out at Moncton's farmer's market. The Geeks they will choose from include:

  • Trevor "Gunner" Macausland - Whitehill Technologies
  • Michael "The Venetian" Nied - Whitehill Technologies
  • Brian "Mr. Big" Coffin - Whitehill Technologies
  • Ryan "Sonny" Sorrey - Whitehill Technologies
  • Ken "The Mortician" Leblanc - Property Guys
  • Dale "The Yak" Betts - Property Guys
  • Gene "Mad Man" Fowler - Fatkat Animation
  • Derrick "The Mangler" Smith - Assomption Vie
  • Mike "The Pope" Ouellette- HRDC

I will post more info to this blog as it gets passed along. Stay tuned, as the Geeks continue their training in anticipation of the event...
