Spiders Receive National Press In USA Hockey Magazine

March 8, 2010

OK, maybe “national press” is a bit of an exaggeration but there’s a picture, which is still pretty cool. Page 4 of the March 2010 edition of USA Hockey Magazine has a picture of Spiders founder Marc Berris shaking hands with a Sled Dogs player. I was going to make a comment about Marc consoling the Dogs after yet another Spiders victory but it seems the Spiders went 0–5 against the Sled Dogs from 2004 through 2007...

Spiders management has hired an expert in photograph forensics and it’s 63% certain that the out of focus head just over the right shoulder of Marc Berris is current Spider Doug Thorson. Way to go Doug!

Editors note: Spiders historian Jeremy Litton has determined the other players in the photo are Paul Lacosse and Mark Franklin. We at Spiders Publishing regret the mistake.

The picture was taken for an April 2005 USA Hockey article about adult hockey. The original article can be found in the D1 news archive.

Marc Berris, right, thanks the Sled Dogs’ Lindquist for holding back after 12 goals.
