If it was, it’s missing a number.

Which is why it fits PERFECTLY within the lore of the WCEHL.

 
Ah, yes. We all remember the WCEHL powerball dispersal of 58. That’s how one lucky fan obtained a team, and random league stars found their way to Australia.

WCEHL 1958 Owner’s Table
 
(Again, our location is at Iceland Arena, where not only the reader is becoming more familiar but also our beloved WCEHL owners. This year’s meeting would feature a full conference room for the owners to discuss league events. Finally, there were no more folding table and boxes being used as seats, but instead a beautiful, long surface carved from African Blackwood which was surrounded by… folding chairs.)

     You can say that, but don’t speak for me. I’m here treading water, trying to build a temple for the Earthquakes on Long Beach’s shoestring budget.
 
Cooper Dust
     Have you tried telling them to tax the poor more?
 
French Friday
     Yes.
 
Jed Diggins
     Have you tried mining for gold?
 
French Friday
     If you don’t shut your mouth I will give you an express pass to the “Pearly Gates”.
 
Jed Diggins
     You have not executed on that promise yet, and I am beginning to think you might be lying about it.
 
Zamboni
     Diggins, please. Have you tried opening a line of credit, Friday?
 
French Friday
     A what?
 
Zamboni
     You know, credit? It’s really taking off, and you need to get in on it! It’s something the banks are doing for rich people. Basically, handing out free money. No negatives to it. That is how I got this classy conference room for us.
 
Tin Canton
     Zamboni… you know you have to pay back that money, right?
 
Zamboni
     Pardon? If they want that money they’ll have to come pry it from ---

Irwin Stevenson
     Excuse me, but as the MAJORITY owner of the Sacramento Patriots, I must say we are really wasting time.
 
Zamboni
     Did you say majority?
 
Buzz Buissen
     Did you say Sacramento?
 
Irwin Stevenson
     Excuse my speaking error, I meant to say Oakland.
 
Zamboni
     Well, I’d ask if we wanted to take that to a vote, but there is no sign of Sgt. Johnson.
 
Jed Diggins
     Oh, he is in Kansas doing some alienating things, or something to that extent.
 
Zamboni
     Why would you know that?
 
Jed Diggins
     Do y’all not catch up over tea with your pals? Don’t look at me like a canary all doped up on some monoxide.
 
Irwin Stevenson
     What Jed stated is factual. Johnson is a bit strung up and is unable to dictate decisions for the team, but he will be back in time for the season. He agreed that I should take on more responsibility, and with that risk I gained stake in the team. He then went on a power trip and declared that he would be coach this upcoming season. I have not seen him since.
 
Zamboni
     Dog, I am tired of that circus you guys are running up north.
 
Irwin Stevenson
     Sir, it is a zoo.
 
(Zamboni puts a hand to his forehead and starts rubbing his temples.)
 
Zamboni
     Anyone oppose what the Australian with the thick accent just pitched?
 
(The room stays quiet.)
 
Zamboni
     Good, I have to go call my bank.

A zoo, you say? I like where that's going!
