Dandy Andy

The face of the mighty Silverback Apes. In the club's first season of play, he posted a 3.85GAA leading the team to a (16-2-2) record finish atop the division. Sometimes fate is a cruel bitch. Dandy Andy would go down to injury late in the 15-16 campaign and be inactive for the Silverbacks run at the Cup as #3 netminder Toeless Boraczek was called into action. None the less, Andy is the centerpiece to the Apes continued success. There has been talk for years that the Big O, Matt Osgood, actually keeps Andy locked away in a cage Mon-Fri like George "The Animal" Steel - feeding him raw meat and showing him pictures of Playboy centerfolds - only unleash his monster on the league each weekend. In between periods, fans stare in bewilderment as Andy will at times try to eat the very pipes he protects when he bends down to adjust the prongs. Others claim they have seen him devour a full waterbottle including the cap when teams score. And it is said in the lockerroom, Dandy has his own corner where he is left to himself until game time. If you ever see Silverback players take their gloves off, you'll be surprised a few of them are missing fingers...
