Dallas, Texas Jan 11, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - Fur Bearing Trout Hockey club general manager Tom Holcomb announced today that the club has signed Defenceman Matt Donohoe and journeyman Bob “Lanny” McDonald to one-session contracts. Per club policy, terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
Donohoe, age unknown, was scouted heavily by Goalie Pete Sharpe. A former Warthog, Sharpe had some real positives to say about Matt, albeit concise. “Very good defenseman that can move the puck”. Join me in welcoming Matt to the Trout.
In the other signing, Bob McDonald joins the Trout after a long layoff from his playing days on Long Island. Holcomb mentioned that Bob is the Father of an outstanding Jr. Penguin (ala Spearman). “We can only hope he skates half as well as his son” when asked about the newest Trout. It appears that Bob’s manslaughter charge from the Long Island Men’s league has disappeared from the New York PointStreak system, clearing the way for the signing.
When contacted by the Trout regarding the upcoming season, both players indicated “they didn’t have anything going on, so why not?” Kurt Horn (knee) and Jason Pauletto (sliced tendon in Thumb) have both been placed on injured reserve to make room on the roster.
The Trout will start the defense of their potential 2nd place finish beginning tonight
at 10:45. This story was not subject to the approval of the McKinney Hockey League or the Fur Bearing Trout Hockey Club. You can follow Scott on Twitter at @OvertimeScottB
