HEARTLAND HOISTS CUP!!

The Heartland Mustangs surprised the Rob Kerr All Stars by taking back the Doug Blackie Memorial Cup with a flurry of second period goals. Kerr’s old school coaching method of tying his goalie’s arms and legs to the posts as punishment for poor play, backfired. The Mustangs took full advantage and ripped a whack of [...]

Cassie Traded to the Side of GOOD (2009)

Rob, I don’t know what you’re thinkin’! Trading Cassie Campbell to us for future considerations? Well, guess what? Here are your considerations: Consider your loss. Consider our gain.

Heartland Mustangs RINGERS ABOUND! (2009)

The captain of Rob Kerr’s All Stars, Rob Kerr himself, has been laying down a little smack and dropping names. He thinks the Heartland Mustangs are made of tissue paper actors. Well, we have a couple of those to be sure, but I’m announcing the arrival of some dead eye athleticism. World Chuckwagon Champion Jason [...]
