Player of the Week: Eric Feige

Eric hails from Glen Rock and has been playing with the Waldwick Seniors since 2009 (or so).  Eric was introduced to the Waldwick Seniors through "C" when they both worked at KPMG.  Eric now works for Prudential in Newark - leading Digital Strategy.  Eric grew up in Venezuela and Oklahoma, but was educated at Fordham University and NYU.  He has called Bergen County home for some time now and plans on remaining in the area at least until his two daughters (ages 16 and 14) are well into college.  Eric has mellowed on the pitch over the years.  He used to be a defensive midfielder / stopper with goon-like dispossession skills.  Yellow (and some red cards) were common.  Now, he just enjoys being on the turf playing what ever position is needed for the game. 

Regards,

Eric

Good Friday, April 18

Cool and overcast, perfect!  We played 7 v 7 with various goals and rules, mostly with two hurdles as goals at each end.  We played crosswise on a red field so the girls lacrosse team could practice on the other end.  Rocc brought Steve, Doug brought Doug and Tomasso brought a friend, Jose. Jay brought his knees and Mark Schwartz showed up for the first time in a long time along with his injured groin.  A grand time was had by all.  See you Sunday.

Sunday April 7

Sunny and cool at 8am game time, perfect!  We started about ten after with Doug R in the blue net and no one in the white, resulting in a quick blue score, 1-0.

Sunday March 30

I wasn't there but from what I hear 22 to 24 guys showed up despite rainy forecast.  Doug R in blue net and Minor and others in white.  Rocco scored 3 which is always newsworthy, and Keeble had 2 which is really all that matters.  5-5 finish?  See you next week.

Sunday March 23

Second game of the season and we're bumped! 7 am start is our only option and forecast is for cold and windy.  But surprise surprise, we get 25 people at game time, two more at 8 and Juan showed up at 9.  So we started about 7:15, new Doug in the white net, Keith in the blue and Doug R sound asleep in Florida.  Steve showed up to take over for Keith and its game on.

Chompan to Rosner at 7:33 for white to get the scoring started, 1-0
Jeff for blue @ 7:48, 1-1
Steve P @ 7:58 for blue, 1-2
Frank and Dimos arrived about 8, Rich left the game
Steve again, 1-3
Jeff, 1-4
Rocco!, 1-5

We quit at 8:45 to make room for a boys game.  The blue team was a little stacked today with Mike,  and Joakim playing defense and Steve on offense, but Keith, also blue, didn't complain.  Next week and the balance of our season we should be back to our regularly scheduled game time, 8 am.
