DOM-LAND, Middle Earth—After having their psyches shaken last week by the dirty tactics of the Ringwraits, the Dom-Land Caribou bounced back nicely by beating the Moria Orcs 7-1.

Pippin scored his second hat trick of the season as head coach Elrond had to shuffle lines as Sam sat out on a one-game suspension after last week's debacle.

"I've got lots of hats!" Pippin said after hats rained down onto the Merry-Go-Round...Rink...Thing Where a Penguin Plays a Banjo ice. "Yay!"

The only tense moment of the night came when an errant puck struck Aragorn in the mouth, breaking one of his front teeth. Against team trainer Bubbles' advice, the King of Gondor glued his tooth back together and resumed play. He is currently at the dentist.

"Ewwww!" said Merry.

The Caribou saved some cookie-dough ice cream for him.

Boromir, Strider, Merry and Frodo also scored for the 'Bou. Orc #8 scored for the Orcs. Gandalf made 27 saves in the win.

This was the Caribou's final home game of the regular season. The 'Bou have clinched a playoff spot with their 10-3-4 record.

Next week the 'Bou travel to Ithilen and Isengard to face the Rangers and Uruk-Hai. Their final regular-season game will be against the Rohan Riders in...Rohan.

Notes: After much discussion, tantrums and throwing of staplers, the entire Ringwraith team has been suspended for one game. This means they forfeited their match against the Rohan Riders. The final score of the April 12 game against the Caribou was allowed to stand despite a heartfelt if somewhat incoherent protest by Pippin and Sam, a long impassioned, if somewhat off-topic, speech about hope from Strider and a lot of fervent nodding by Legolas.

Notes II: Read about the aftermath of the Elfhead concert at the Merry-Go-Round...Rink...Thing Where a Penguin Plays a Banjo here.

Notes III: View all the Dom-Land pictures and how they came to be here.

Notes IV: Bubbles is very cross right now because her NHL team, her STANLEY CUP WINNING NHL team, was swept out of the first round by ducks.

This is how she feels. Because her team is no longer playing, (poo poo poo) she will now root for the Tampa Bay Lighnting and Martin St. Louis because he vaguely looks like a hobbit and she doesn't just mean that he's short.

Aragorn sends a pass over to a linemate.

Kissing Sisters in the Poll

In what seems to be an alarming trend, "yes" and "no" are tied in this poll. Therefore it will be left open a few more days.

The voting was so close in the original expansion team poll that the MEHA has decided to put it to the fans if they would like to merge the Ents on Ice and the Kegs of the Shire into one team named "Talking Trees and Furry Feet" or something like that. Commissioner Bubbles is eager to hear suggestions on the name. Email her at sotto-voce@yahoo.com or sign the guestbook.

This poll will close April 21.
