Kimlinger (far right, kneeling) and the Steds Green Machine
Though biased and unfair, it was a fantastic game. But in the end, the muscle of the legendary Steds senior, Matt Ebertin, the speed of the young and talented sophomore, Johnny Welsch, and even the power of the world-renowned senior, Nick Leisen, and his slap shot fell short in vanquishing the combined hall team.
As they should be, the combined team was overjoyed in defeating Steds. On the other team's joy, Steds senior and hockey captain, Nick Kimlinger, said, "How lucky were they, you ask? Well, I heard on the ice tonight by an anonymous AND real member of Stanford/Carroll team say, 'Man, you guys are way faster than us... have harder shots... have way better hair... and you're way cooler than we are. Seriously, just like way cooler. We're VERY lucky to be winning right now. I wish I was in Steds; like you guys are so cool!' You can't make this stuff up! Steds is not broken, just bent, and you won't want to meet this green machine in the playoffs. "
